On December 31, 2000 we adopted a dog
named Smiley . The animal shelter in North Battleford was going
to put her down and we felt sorry for her, so we brought her
home with us. Smiley was pregnant. On January 21,2001 she had
her pupies in a box in our porch. Smiley had five little puppies.
There were two boys and three girls. Four of them were white
with black markings and one was black with white markings. They
were about six and a half inches long. Their eyes were closed
and they had no teeth. We used a waterbed frame to make a bed
for them in the livingroom.When they got older we gave them nick
names to tell them apart. Squirt was the smallest, Squeaky made
little squeaky noises, Bubbu because he was dopey looking, Grumblebum
because she grumbles all the time, and Rock because every time
he was after food he sent everybody flying.
