Blossom and Her Bundles of Joy ~ 9 to be exact...  This little lady, at a very young age, has found herself being a Mommy to six boys and three girls.  Surprisingly, being only ten months old herself, Blossom has bloomed right into her role of a very proud, dotting mom.

Unfortunately, we have no knowledge as to what breed of dog paid Ms. Blossom a visit.  The family that had this little lady, prior to our rescue intake, was very, very surprised Blossom had herself a gentleman caller at all.  To boot, all who knew Blossom prior to her pregnancy, was under the impression that Blossom had been previously spayed and therefore unable to find herself in her current predicament.

However, making the best of a bad situation, ARF has both committed themselves to Blossom and each and every one of her little offsprings.  Perhaps as they mature we will be able to get a better 'guesstimate' as to Dad's breed but, of course, as you can see from her beautiful photos prior to her giving birth, Blossom herself is a lab parsons terrier mix.  Therefore, each and every one of her pups should be just as beautiful.

Blossom's pups were born on February 17th so her parenting duties will not be over until early to mid April.  However, her foster family has nothing but wonderful things to say about her and really believe she is a beautiful soul deserving of a forever home whereby she is allowed all the individual time and attention that she deserves...  

THANK GOODNESS FOR BLOSSOM'S FOSTER FAMILY.  WITHOUT TINA AND HER FAMILY, ARF SHACK WOULD NOT BE IN A POSITION TO HELP A FOUR-LEGGED FAMILY LIKE THIS AS WE RELY ON FOSTER HOMES AND INDIVIDUAL LOVE, TIME AND ATTENTION FOR EACH OF OUR RESCUE GUESTS.
