🎃🍂🐾🧡Oct. 16th's run🐾🧡🍂🎃 Friday found me at Bailey and Loca's spot, as it most often Bai had gone to stay with friends for a little while because Loca had had something baking in the oven for a minute now.. Those buns were almost popping fresh at only 2 days old and I has learned of their arrival and so came bearing gifts of puppy pads and towels along with puppy food and goat's milk to enrich mama's own milk.. She was so gracious in sharing her tiny bundles of joy with me and was proving to be natural at motherhood.. This was such a pure and peaceful time to participate in and I left her to nurture her little ones in peace, after stuffing her face.with treat after treat, of course.. My big family of littles were who I found next, and as always they swarmed me like a gang of groupies on a rockstar, which I guess I am in this community, or so I've heard.. Good thing that aren't humans or this would be very weird! Soaking in all the love from one dog can be a lot to handle, but 7 of them at once is almost overwhelming.. It's a whole lotta love to be hit with at once! I tried out the dried sweet potato slices I was packing on them and they got a great response, which they don't always do... I usually hand out pure dried meat so these are a bit lackluster, depends on the dog.. Often times they are just looking at me like , "Where's the beef??😁 Mom and I discussed calling our friends from the SFSPCA Community Ambassadors for vaccine updates, dewormers and flea meds for this big crew and probably for the kittens that have stumbled along and ended up joining the family on their own.. They are adorable in with the little dogs like they are just part of the pack.. And the food is good here, according to said littles.. I tossed out a bunch of small toys for these kids to get the luring them all back into their big rv for snack time.. It's quite a procession, kind of like ducklings in a row hopping up with the exception of the couple who need a little boost up the big step into home sweet home.. Mom divvying up and dispersing the treats from their grub bags has become a weekly ritual and it's also my queue to vamoose.while they're so engaged.. Boy are these littles lucky to get 2 treat sessions in a row.. I hurried off to a spot off of my route because I heard that my beloved Millie and Blue were camped there. It had been weeks since they had lost they had lost their last wonderful spot and I hadn't seen them since.. I found it and them, thank God, because they are both so very special to me after having both of them stay with me after vet visits, neuter surgeries and being sprung from the pound.. You can definitely say I'm.more than a little invested in their well being.. They had secured themselves a great shady place so I was able to enjoy ducking out of the heat with them for a few blessed minutes.. It was in the mid 80s all of a sudden and most everyone else in the area was just cooking.. It wasn't too hot for treats for these 2 beautiful creatures though, and they both gobbled away greedily.. Blue was bearing a very pretty blue stripe painted on his snout after an apparently very festive evening, and although I hate when people do this I understand the artistic aspect and spiritual significance .. And don't come for me with the hate comments,we've already been bombarded by the homeless haters on the Insta about it..And by the way, to them, simply 🖕! Anyway, both Mille and he were happy after the big dramatic ordeal that had ended in the loss of their prime camping spot and them both in the pound.. Millie's sweet soul locked onto mine as always.. She remembers me from her puppyhood and loves me even more after staying so long with me after spay and multiple ear infection vet visits and rechecks good 6 weeks in all.. She's just the sweetest punkin bully girl you could ever meet and I just Iove her so much.. And I feel the same about Blue, after sticking up for and nurturing him his whole life.. He is actually a little prince, being the offspring of royalty, my big boy Winston🥰.. And Winston will be doing no more babydaddying, for I have taken his testicles away! 🎉✨✂⚾⚾✂✨🎉 You know they were more than ready to get their toy on after all of these weeks apart so I busted out a couple of my coolest ones, a squeaky b**r can parody of stella artois that had been changed to Smella Arpaws 😁 for Millie and a 'tough' rubber saguaro cactus chew for Bluey, neither of which would last long or or that Blue wouldn't have possession of in minutes.. He's just a greedy boy by nature but Millie is too sweet to mind too much, being the orange angel that she is.. I had one more special family to see, my cherished big pit and bully one that I have grown so close to over the past few years ...They are usually my last stop of the week and I can't get enough of them and I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual.. I came upon Freckles first, who had wriggled free from her harness to come and get to me first, another greedy one like Blue! Also like Blue she's cute enough to get away with it! Behind her were the big ole boys Chewy and Boscoe, who are definitely the muscle of the family and quite impressive to see together.. And the epitome of fine specimens of both the blue and red ends of the bully color spectrum.. Neither of them look like anyone you would want to meet in a dark alley but I know better and have earned their trust and affection.. They both let me know that they were extremely hungry for treats so I let them have it, as at this point on my route I can afford to, retaining only a few morsels for friends I might see on my way to the train back to home sweet noisy smelly home.. The cunning little Minx named Mina was behind them, waiting patiently in her crate, just soaking up the sun and catching the goodies I tossed her between the big boys' chewing.. I had their full attention so Chewy wasn't even trying to treat block her at all!😮 The little lady can hold her own, anyway, and has quickly earned her status in this already long established pack.. Those of us with large dog families know the work it takes to get them all getting along, and once it all gels it's so beautiful how they almost self manage.. Angel and Panda were in my sights and I made my way to mom's car to see them on their side of camp, all afroth from witnessing their sibs get their treat on so hard.. I gave them an equal amount of treats and love, reminding Panda how extra special he is to me.. The only reason he is separated and exiled to girls side is that Midnight has decided that he had grown too big for his bully britches and that he was indeed the boss.. And of course none of us humans were going for that.. This is why Middie has a special place with dad in his minivan, so everyone can be safe and happy at the same time.. Angel doesn't even have to be told she's.special because she's just smart like that and easy as a Sunday morning.. And pretty to boot.. And looking so much like our original Open Paw street angel Mami doesn't hurt one bit! 🥰 When she and Pandamananda had their fill I paid Midnight little visit.. He crawled his sleepy self out of the nest of blankets her was somehow loving during this awful heat wave and was more than happy I had stopped by to fill his face with meaty goodness before I had to head back to work and reality and all of the furbabies waiting for me there, heart and soul filled to brimming.with all of the magical doggie love I would need to see me through til the next week's runs..
