504 Wallace - More on the story on the Kraft dog rescue
The house the Kraft's dog choice to keep her puppies in was just a few doors down from her old home. We were told by neighbors that the owners were pulled out of the attic, and the husband had died. Where there is death there is rebirth. You can see from the photo of the house, the markings "2 attic" and you can see where they ripped the small dormer off the roof to get to them on 9-19. I will write my feelings about the date in another article.
The mother watch the house from afar, but unfortunately it began to get dark. Bill and Kris volunteered to stay all night and watch the house.
Bill and Kris after an all night stake out at the house they finally get her trapped in the house, so they wait and eat "breakfast" while we arrive to help.
It becomes ovbious why they needed help when you take a look at the room the small mother had run into. It was full of TV's and radios, once stacked up and now mixed around from the flood. We had to carefully move TV's not knowing where she was, or even if she was in there at all. It turned out she was. Bill ended up grabbing her when she darted and we got a pole on her. She was terrified. Whe bite a few gloved hands, but luckily she didn't get away.
Her pups...
And then there was Pucksley, who has been adopted by Barb. He/She was not snuggling with the others the night we staked out the place, so we took her in, and of course whe took us into her hearts. Puckley was named, for she was found on Ground Hog Day, which Stacy celebrates. Pucksley was also the one responsible for telling us where all her brothers and sisters were. When we first spotted mom, Pucksley was with her outside of the house. Mom ran off and I followed Pucksley hoping she would lead us to them. It was very tempting to just scoop her up, but we had heard from neighbors there were "pups" plural so I wanted to know where they were. First Pucksley tried to climb the stairs into the house, but without the help of mom, she didn't have much luck. Then she darted around the side under the house. Where later Stacey crawled in and rescued her.
