Baby Sage

Meet the little baby girl that has captured the hearts of our children:

Her name is Sage, and she is Liane and Carl's foster puppy. A month ago, when Liane and Carl rescued her, she was literally on death's door. She had been stuck at an overcrowded animal shelter and ended up contracting distemper. Because of the infectious nature of the disease, Sage had to be quarantined in a tiny little room - no bigger than a walk-in shower - with little to no interaction with dogs or even people all day. She stopped eating and could barely stand, much less walk. She was literally on death's door - and the Las Vegas Weim Rescue Club was just hoping that someone would take her home so she wouldn't have to die in that tiny room without anyone. Liane and Carl have the biggest hearts - and such a love for dogs - that they couldn't imagine that happening to a sweet pup like her. They agreed to take her home and make her last few weeks (she was given, at the most, two months to live) special.

Well as you can see, Sage is a completely different dog now. Signs of her disease have all but disappeared (she still can't be around other dogs yet - but the vets say it's only a matter of time before she can), she is healthy and happy, and she loves to romp around and play. And my children love her more than they have ever loved a dog before. Violet makes Sage artwork to hang in her "room" in their house, Riley always asks when we can visit Sage, and the kids just love cuddling with her, petting her, and playing with her whenever they see her. I am completely confident that Sage will make a full recovery - and then Liane and Carl can adopt her and be her "forever family". :)

Isn't she just adorable?
