Puppy Patrol

Greetings everyone. Have a bit of time after my relaxing swim.....I'm sure everyone loves to hear that. Well...it's been six days now that a litter of 9 puppies was found and brought to the STENAPA office. Heather, Ella, and I were on trash duty last Friday and part of that wonderful chore is taking the garbage to the dump. The dump is located just off of Zoolandia Beach.....ya, nice spot they picked for it. Anyways....while visiting the dump and delivering our goods we heard a bunch of yipping/yelping/crying coming from just a little ways a way. This spurred our curiosity and we went looking around to find where the sounds were coming from. And to our utter shock, we found them coming from a small cardboard box just 20-30 feet away from us. It was at this moment we knew what we had stumbled upon. A litter of abandoned puppies...9 of them.....left at the dump to die. We had heard this type of horrible thing happens every so often on the island but we never thought we would witness it ourselves. But thank goodness we did. We brought the 9 pit bull-mix pups back to the office and soon after found some food for them. They were around 2 weeks old at the time and hadn't yet even opened their eyes. By the end of the day we had found temporary homes for about 7 of them. 2 of them came home to the Garden with us and the girls have been taking very good care of them this past week. So a big thanks to them! It looks as if we'll be able to find a home(s) for the last 2 also. So it has been a very eventful week! Other than that things are still going great here and the weather has been great. Will write again soon. Until next time America.....
