The not for Christmas Puppies

This is our new foster puppy Ribbon. 

Ribbon's mom is a border collie who was running loose in the woods for several months.  Some nice people were feeding her and trying to catch her and finally resorted to a live trap.  Once caught it was obvious that "Millie" had recently had puppies.  So she was put on a harness and taken back to the woods where she ultimately led the rescuers to 6 fuzzy black and white puppies.  With no place for the new family to go MOKAN border collie rescue stepped up and found foster homes for mom and all the pups in just two days! 

For being born and raised in the woods all the puppies and Millie are social, sweet and friendly and seem pretty healthy.  Although we don't know for sure what dad was these are good sized puppies for having such a petite mom and they are also very fluffy and one has a double hind dew-claw so Great Pyrenees has been speculated.  Either way they are all super adorable!

We are waiting until after the holiday to post them on the website as we don't want to fend off the million requests for Christmas puppies (hence the post title).

But what puts you in the holiday spirit more than fuzzy puppies!

I've been reading about that dog. Our training club was involved in trying to catch her. When I heard she had pups, I wondered how they were doing. She's adorable!

What a happy story that mom and pups are now warm and safe and don't have to live in the woods any more.

OOOH so glad the mom/pups got foster homes and are out of the cold for Christmas, and how fun to foster a fuzzy little baby. ADORABLE!
