Rescued on July 8th by the FBI with the help of the Humane Society of Missouri, Kali has come a long way to become the family member she is today.
This is a day in the life of Kali and what goes on day to day living with a gamebred bust dog.

Tri Color Trouble





Kali has had a sleep over friend for the last couple days, Havoc. Hav is another puppy from the MO 500 bust who was born while his mother Bug was being sheltered, he was actually from the last litter born. Two of his brothers/sisters went to a shelter in MA Baypath Humane Society and are waiting for homes of their own.


Havoc is 13wks old and full of energy and self confidence. He walks around like he owns the place and shows no fear. Because of this lil boy's confidence, Kal is doing a little better around here. Her submissive/excited urinating has been minimal (besides her oops incident where she ended up peeing on her daddy........not getting many brownie points by doing that). She is beginning to see that being alone is an ok thing, if Hav can do it, Kal can !

Kal was having some regression with her progress because her room mate Suzi left for her new foster home in MA (Braveheart Rescue) last Thur. I think even tho
ugh no one was allowed to be loose together in
the bust dog room, Kal still liked the companionship of Suzi being crated beside her. I also have to admit to missing Suzi Q's companionship.
For the most part Kali and Havoc have been playing appropriately. At times play gets too vocal and rough for my liking so we all have time outs for a minute or two to let things cool off. Hav is learning when to quit, Kali is learning what is an appropriate correction, it has been a win win situation for all. It has been great having Hav here for the past few days as I have one tired puppy every night after a romp a room session. What we have begun to realize is that both these pups have some spunk and just a touch of fire. We will be socializing them continuously and making sure we can continue to work towards dock dogs, agility and WP titles. Big plans I know but you always have to want the best for your babies.

  1. Gorgeous babies!
    SA is no fun. Been there, done that, but there is HOPE. The foster pup I had at this time last year shows no signs of it now, though we had a hard row for a while. I'll confess...I HATE that hyena-cry more than anything...just breaks my heart!
