Olive is a very pregnant female red min pin/beagle mix that animal control called us about on Friday evening, Dec. 17. Animal control needed a foster for her, otherwise they would be forced to euthanize her due to the coming holiday and needed space. They told us she was already lactating and they might have another foster home for her, but would we stand by in case it fell through. We told them to call and let us know if the family that was planning on taking her backed out.
On 12/22, animal control called and said that they hadn't heard from the potential foster family and could not reach them by phone. Olive was on the euth. list and they asked if we could please take her. I told the rescue coordinator that we would have to fix her up a special area, as our regular maternity ward is occupied by another dog from another animal control - Allie, by the way, had 11 puppies last night - a Christmas Eve gift, and all doing well so far.
Nancy went after Olive while my husband and I fixed her up with a nice warm kennel in a safe place where the rest of the rescue dogs wouldn't bother her or be seen by her.
When she got to the farm, I asked what her name was, if, indeed, she had one. I was told that a child had named her Olive. The child had been singing "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer" and decided on Olive. ?????????????? Where did that come from?
"All of the other reindeer" translates to a child as "Olive, the other reindeer".
Merry Christmas, and God bless.
