Guess what’s currently in our basement? That’s right, a black puppy & two little kittens! I was driving to the library to pick up Nikki and a black dog ran in front of me. I pulled over, got out of the car and whistled for him and he ran right over to me. He is incredibly sweet and gave me lots of kisses. He has a collar and a chewed through leash on him but no ID tags. As I was looking him over a woman from across the street out asked if I could call animal control or take him to the shelter because he’s been running around for awhile and she was worried he’d either get hit or knock over one of the other older people that lives around there. So into the car he went because I didn’t have the numbers for any of those places. At the same time these two little kittens came running over to me. That’s apparently what the puppy had run over to see. They both crawled under the car and milled around my legs and were panting really badly. It’s a bad sign when cats pant. I looked around and saw that there was food dumped on the ground and a litter box outside of the salon they were at but I couldn’t leave them there in the heat. So into the car they went with the puppy who I had already seen was gentle with them. I called my mom and asked her to look up the Wags n’ Whiskers number for me then went and picked up Nikki. We then drove down to the Depot Days because they’d had booths there earlier. I got there as they were taking everything down and asked if they could help. They couldn’t (even though I watched them adopt out a dog) and told me to take them to the shelter. They gave me water for them after I asked and we tried to give it to them when I got back to the car but they didn’t want much. I was tweeting the whole time and someone told us to put water on their paws & tummies so we did that and they started to cool off. Momma helped us find the shelter and we went there but no one was in the lobby. So I went back outside and called. The woman said that we were going to have to pay a $25 surrender fee for EACH of them. Obviously we didn’t have it so I called my mom back and actually started to cry because I was so shocked that no one would help. My mom said to just bring them home but I was worried since our cats aren’t vaccinated against feline leukemia so I didn’t want them to be in contact with them. Nikki was smart and suggested the basement. So that’s where they are. The puppy is in his own cage and both cats are in another one together. We gave them food and water and they all seem to be doing just fine. The cats are so close with one another and the puppy is just the absolute sweetest boy ever. Even Momma fell in love with him right away! He seems to be under 6 months because he still has his baby teeth. He has the most massive paws though! I’ve been looking around for lost dog reports but haven’t found any in the Chronicle and can’t ask the shelter until Monday or the city animal control until tomorrow morning. The cats I’m pretty sure were strays that those people had just taken pity on but I might go back and leave a note. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know and send you pictures of how adorable they are. Like I said before, never a dull moment around here!
