All To Thunder
How's this for an adorable munchkin? This green-hued puppy was just born in New Orleans to a Golden Retriever mom. No, she isn't green too, but veterinarians say this sometimes happens when the mother's amniotic fluid mixes with the placenta during birth and dyes the coat of the puppy.This tiny one won't be green forever, (in a few weeks, the green should fade away and the dog will be a light brown or white color), and don't worry he's not sick or anything. Let's just hope his siblings go easy on him.
In other adorable cute animal news, my local shelter just got hit with a batch of lab/pit bull mixes sent in from an Ohio shelter that has trouble finding folks who'll take a pit. (I can't imagine why, as all those old myths that they're dangerous are total crap: Pits are not only very sweet and affectionate, they make GREAT family dogs because they love kids. They're hands down my favorite breed!!! I think I might adopt one, and while not everyone can take home a new pup, you can easily donate to the Providence Animal Rescue League, a wonderful small shelter that does a terrific job taking care of their animals!
