Unexpected Guests

Look what we found!

On our way home from church yesterday, I spotted a St. Bernard with her puppy crossing the street in downtown Waterville. I pointed out this cute sight to Zach and we continued home. About an hour later, I was startled when I saw a giant dog in our backyard. It was the same mommy with her adorable puppy. Unfortunately, the mom was in bad shape (she was starving & sadly thin) so I took them in, dried them off, and gave them the food I had in the cupboard. She ate 6 cans of tuna and 2 cans of beef chunks before we went to the store to get them some doggy food.

Later Zach took them around the neighborhood to see if they belonged to anyone. We believe that they were abandoned. They spent the night in our utility room and did quite well! The good news is we think we've found them a good home on a farm outside of town. I'm so proud of this mommy St. Bernard. She kept her puppy alive (he's quite chunky actually) while trying to survive. I'm such a sucker for animals! They knew who's backyard to trample through :)
