How to Save a Life: 'Twas the Night Before Puppies

As the holiday season moves to its zenith of revelry and dare we say Bacchanalia, we would like to celebrate one of the happiest events of 2022 here at Rescue A Golden of Arizona.  A beautiful Golden Retriever named Pearl came into rescue this past spring and was immediately adopted into a wonderful new home.  But Pearl likes to surprise people, and did she ever!  She was in a family way.  Pearl moved to the home of an experienced “puppy foster” where she delivered eight precious babies who became known as the “Golden Nuggets.”  

Mama Pearl and the Nuggets would be thrilled if you would honor them with a donation as their very first holiday gift.  She has even trained them to say “thank you thank you!”

And to all a good night!

 


 


'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE PUPPIES

'Twas the night of her due date
And all through Pearl’s tummy
Eight puppies were ready
To make Mom feel crummy

“I’m birthing my babies!”
Pearl loudly exclaimed
“I’d better get moving
and think of some names”

On Anna and Trixie 
And Sissy and Dewey!
On Amber and Honey 
And Cory and Cooper!

Then eight Golden Nuggets
Lined up at Pearl’s belly
“These guys seem to think
I’m their own special deli!”

She fed them and loved them
Her sweet precious pups
But the day finally came 
When her “mom time” was up

She licked them goodbye
As they left for their homes
Pearl thought “Hey it ain’t bad
To have time alone”

New people, new houses
For most a new name
As for Pearl - she is done
Playing motherhood games

So, just a reminder
As we all slap high fives
That’s how you save Momma
And eight little lives
