And
Bella, adopted at 4 yrs, 4 mos. Born in Serbia and shipped to the US with a full sister and unrelated male for someone to start their European Doberman breeding line. Male was 10% fertile and couldn't get the job done. Sold.
Sister resorbed her litter after a successful breeding to a new Euro male.
Bell kept her first litter but 2 puppies died in birth and she needed a C-section to deliver the rest of the litter. Vet said she shouldn't be bred again because she'd need a C-section again. Owner did it anyway. Litter number 2 comes. Then bred again in same calendar year. Litter number 3 comes. Ligament lets loose in uterus and she needs to be spayed. Owner puts her up for adoption claiming "her sister and her are fighting".
I later find out sister was sold the prior year for resorbing her litter.
This is her when I brought her home. Fat, stinky and sway backed.

This little guy is
Skittles. I am watching over him until my father gets him back. He was transported up from TN and my parents adopted him when he was about 2. I've had him for a little over 4 years. He is now 14 years old. And going back to that beach with big sister in just over 2 weeks!
