 Pawsitive Plantation
Home Welcome to Pawsitive Plantation A Unique Bed & Breakfast Experience for your Pet. A "Pawsitive" approach to Dog Training.
11 pm Tues night 2/4/2010 - could hear a puppy crying in the distance. Went outside to try to pinpoint where it was coming from. It's not unusual for people to dump dogs near us since we own a boarding/training kennel. I could tell that it was coming from either the river or the farm across the river. The river is about 5 acres away from us. Tried to convince myself that it was at the farm but if I heard the crying in the am I would go check it out. Temps are in the 30's. Wed am 2/5 - didn't hear any crying first thing but as I was doing barn chores I started hearing it again. Armed with a leash, treats & wire cutters I headed to the river. Once there I could hear that the crying was defiantly coming from the river but couldn't pinpoint exactly where. First it sounded like it was on my side, then on the opposite. Waited to listen again and this time I was sure it was on the opposite side. So I went back to get a truck and more provisions. By this time Loretta, our eldest daughter and our groomer, had arrived so we both headed to the far side of the river. After combing up and down the banks we heard the cry again. This time it sounded from the opposite side. Sure that the river was playing tricks on our hearing we headed back to the other side. Luckily the sun was shining and the temps were warming up. We followed the cries but whenever we would get near they'd stop. This pup was smart and had learned quickly how to survive. We were following the riverbank, which is quite steep since all the flooding, when Loretta noticed something black. We were shocked to find this puppy literally hanging onto the roots of a tree, less than 18" from the swift moving water. Thurs.am 2/4 - puppies made it through the night. Camo wouldn't drink but would take some gruel. pm - Camo has started drinking and dehydration is looking better. Will looks much better and is eating and drinking. Fri.am 2/5 - Camo is doing much better and Will is acting quite normal with his tail wagging constantly. Both are playing now. As they become stronger we will worm and vaccinate them. Since these pups were found on opposite sides of the river we believe they were thrown off the bridge into the river. We have found animals abandoned at the river before but never like this or so young. We never heard any more puppies and I've been listening for the last couple days. Perhaps there were more but they didn't make it. It's raining now a lot and the river is rising. I shiver over the thought of what these pups have been through and how cruel the people were that did this to them. I'm trying hard to concentrate on the miracle of their survival and not dwell on what would have happened if we didn't find them. Thankfully Loretta's younger eyes and senses were able to locate them. Thank you to Richard who went out of his way to try to help us. I will keep posting with updates and photos on the website.We'd like to find them well deserved, loving homes. Please tell your friends. Thank you, Kim Sat. 2/6 - Will & Camo are doing quite well so we will worm today. Sun. am 2/7 - wormer works! Lots of dead worms. Now the good quality food can feed the puppies and not the worms. pm - New photos of the pups after a bath! 1st 3 pics are Will.
