Puppyhood - It's been A Long Time...

It's been many years since SCF has taken in a puppy. We used to take in entire litters on a regular basis ... but in more recent years, we've switched gears and have focused more on geriatric and special needs adult animals. Recently, however, this cute little guy came to us as a stray. He was found by a Good Samaritan along the interstate! At 6 weeks old, he certainly wasn't able to make it on his own and when we were approached about taking him in ... we admit to falling for that adorable face. And so Beetle Bug came home to farm where he will stay as a permanent resident. Our elderly resident dogs weren't exactly excited to see him come. Those sharp puppy teeth, exuberant pouncing, middle-of-the-night whining and constant puppy antics where a thing of the past for all of us! But since his homecoming, we've all adjusted and even the old dogs have come to appreciate (or at least tolerate) this youngster and his playfulness. Beetle is learning all about the many other farm residents and has quickly become a valued member of our resident population. We had forgotten what it was like to have a puppy at the farm! But we think he's a great addition and we are glad to be able to provide him a long-term home. Welcome home Beetle Bug! We're glad that you got your second chance with us!
