Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy is 4 weeks old today!

Above: we got a little hot and had to have an ice pack to cool down.

Above: it sure smells good!

Above: strange world out here....

Above: but everything smells so interesting!

Kicker is doing great. He weighs 5.3 lbs now, compared to 1.3 lbs when I got him at the age of about 10 days. His development is satisfying and we are very very happy with him.

Feral Kittens and Dumpster Kittens

We are all doing great here. I managed to get one of the 4 ferals to come around a bit, so I kept her and put her with the 2 dumpster kitties. The other 3 ferals are out on a huge dairy farm as barn kittens right now.





Her name is Stripes .

Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy's first solid Food

4 Feral Kittens

I was asked to give 4 totally feral kittens a chance. They are about 8 weeks old, eating on their own, but they are throwing a hissing and spitting fit as soon as a human comes near! And they were badly starved.

I put them in the cage, gave them some food and left them alone. This morning they seemed to be a bit more comfortable and I was able to touch one kitty (the one in the first picture) while she was eating and he/she didn't complain, so that's a good start.

I wasn't able to snatch really good pics, but you'll get the idea:






They appear dirty but healthy. Stool and everything is normal.

Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy - The Movie

Akita Pup named Kicker, 2 weeks old

Kicker should be 2 weeks old today and he is doing great! There is nothing wrong with that puppy:






OOOPS

Two kittens found in a dumpster

These 2 were found in a dumpster at a hardware store:



A boy and a girl. The boy has the eyes open, the girl not yet, so I suppose they are close to 2 weeks old. Covered in fleas, but not dehydrated or anything, so that's good.

Just a day after Erica was adopted out!

I also received a puppy that was found in the dumpster, read more about that HERE.

We have a name and a breed for the Dumpster Puppy

Breed: Akita (maybe a mix, not sure yet)
Name: Kicker (in the hope he grows up to kick the butt of the one who threw him into the trash!)

He started to open his eyes today, so he is approx. 12 days old already. Which makes the situation so much worse in my mind, because it means that he had to have had an owner for almost 2 weeks who then decided to toss the baby into the trash.

I have been going through different possibilities in my mind as to what could have possibly happened that made the puppy end up in the dumpster, but nothing sounds good enough to excuse such affliction of suffering.
