A Cocker Spaniel Female named Skye
Skye is presently Adopted
I am so happy to announce that Azure, Aqua and me, Skye, will all be going to our furever homes in a few days. Thanks to all who made generous donations and for all the support and concern from everyone. I can’t wait to have my very own home!
Skye, the shyest of the three sisters, is always the last to wake up and the first to call it a night! She is the one who just loves to be held or sit at (or even on) your feet. Skye has no idea what seeing is, and if you asked her, she would probably tell you she isn’t missing out on a thing. Life as she is experiencing it is Skye’s reality. All that she is missing to make it perfect is a home – one that will accept her as she is.
Poem about a Blind Dog
by Sherrill Wardrip (Blind Dogs List member)
I cannot see you Mommy, when you cuddle me so near.
And yet I know you love me, it’s in the words I hear.
I cannot see you Daddy, when you hold me by your side
But still I know you love me when you tell me so with pride.
I cannot see to run and play out in the sun so bright
For here inside my tiny head it’s always dark as night.
I cannot see the treats you give when I am extra good
But I can wag my tail in Thanks just like a good dog should.
“She cannot see. The dogs no good” is what some folks might say
“She can’t be trained, she’ll never learn She must be put away.”
But not you, Mom and Daddy You know that it’s all right
Because I love you just as much as any dog with sight.
You took me in, you gave me love and we will never part
Because I’m blind with just my eyes, I see you in my heart.

Very moving poem… Wow! I love it! I decided to step out for a little while, because I thought I was too angry too often, about all the abandonments and all… But THIS? Supidity, ignorance, and how do you say, Debbie… Navelgazing? So selfish! The breeder, or so called, sure did not do that for the dogs, right? Nowt with all the existing breeds, and needing dogs, how on earth can someone just decide to “create” a COLOR for a breed, just for $$$!!! except for service dogs, there is NO excuse for that! And now that this is the result, they just DISPOSE of these pups, with no sense of responsibility! I sure hope these little darlings find good homes, with a lot of love and dedication…
WOW .. What a poem !!. it brought tears to my eyes !!.Poor sweet heart .. Hope you find a loving home to take care for a long time ..BIG HUGS to you Skye
I am too upset, angry, emotional to write at this moment…I will be back when I can compose myself.
Hi Debbie I feel the same way as you .. I feel so angry and sorry for those sweet hearts .. There is no excuses for Breeders to experiment on dog to try and get the RIGHT color .. This is so criminal .. And when it is not to their satisfaction they dispose them like old rags.Like Viviane says .. it is all for money ,,no feeling for the animal .It is sad.. :-(
They are ABSOLUTELY BEYOND ADORABLE!!~ And so my P.O.V….1) The “recipe” went bad, and they THREW the RESULTS OUT! Despicable, greedy, heartless, bad excuses for “human” beings, (from the Get Go!) 2) The poem is positively beautiful, inspiring, and truly warmed my heart 3) We owned a Cocker Spagniel, Buffer, for @13 years, and seeing these beauties reminded me so much of him, (we got him at 8 weeks old), it brought back alot of memories, 4) So, these little puppies cannot see, and do not know what they are missing.I am imagining that they can still have a wonderful life in the arms of the right loving, patient, dedicated guardian 5) I really, really wish that I could be the “Seeing Eye Human” for one of them,but sadly, at this time, I cannot! **sniff** I will follow these precious souls on the Animatch site daily!
P.S. The photos are nothing short of STUNNING!!!!!
didn’t i tell you ladies there would be a lot of ranting when these pups made it to the web-site?
I hadn’t seen them either, but after viewing all the pictures…so many emotions are flooding through me…anger most of all. although we should not pity thes pups, they know no different, it’s hard for your heart not to break for these beautiful INNOCENT puppies, who did not deserve this. :( :(
I too wish I could take one… They are all so beautiful and touching! And I am soooooooo MAD and upset! I could scream! I wish I was face to face with those “kindasupposedlybreeders”...
Those lovely pups will be someone’s dear treasures, for sure. And Aqua, with her little paws trying to feel what’s coming in front of her, already managing to find her ways, at such a young age! Amazing little babies! Good for you, you’re at the right place. The wonderful people at Animatch will help you find loving homes…
Hi ladies, I have been watching this site and reading your comments for a while now, but this is too much for me! This so-called breeder should be charged for animal cruaulty. I hope these beautiful puppies will find good loving homes soon.
Nancy, you are right. The breeder should be charged with animal cruelty, but unfortunately, that’s not going to happen. All your comments are making me cry! :(
Girls, it will costs us plenty on kleenex tonite…. I am totally floored…... don’t even want to start my rant…. there are no words in the dictionary to describe such an act .. how can greed overide jugement ?? Our laws are not even in tune with the times… I’ll quit here ..... and go hug Belle and Kody that’s it…. that’s all. Except, I wish I had a gree gree doll… First to go would be the eyes…..
It crossed my mind yesterday, and was pretty much addressed on Facebook, as well, that these beauties MAY also have hearing issues, no? This story gets sadder by the second! Still, they have the potential to have amazing, full lives, with the right care!
Yes, Debbie, you’re right! I did’nt think about that… but like some other “white dogs”, it might be possible I guess… And I am sure too that they can quickly get a routine and manage around perfectly with well organized surroundings.
This poem is very beautiful!
What a sad reality!
How can we be so unconscious, and so selfish?!
I wish each of these babies to find a family deserving of them! With Animatch, they are in good hands!
Good luck small treasures
One of my neighbours had a blind dog that recently passed away at the age of 12 years. That dog was great, very gentle and there was so much love and connection between the two of them. The dog was happy and well behaved and the only observable difference was that it would walk behind the owner…better than dogs that pull
.
Un peu de recherche de la part du brideur aurait pu éviter cette malheureuse situation mais lorsqu’on prend des décisions juste pour faire de l’argent c’est ce qui arrive. J’espère que ces 3 petits chiots trouveront de bons foyers qui les élèveront dans l’amour. Bonne chance et merci encore à Animatch.
Seriously, that photo of Beautiful Skye with her ears up in the air…too much!!! In my opinion, these are award winning pictures of three of the most precious little souls that I’ve seen in a while! Shame on anyone who would consider snuffing the life out of these little angels based on their imperfections / disabilities, which are, afterall, in the eye of the beholder. Thankfully for this little brood, SOMEONE had the good sense and decency to give them a chance at a happy life…..My only fear, is this “Breeder” (not really what I want to call him/her), going to continue trying to perfect the “recipe”....until they get it “right”?! ...Scary and heart-breaking stuff! Good luck little ones. You have no idea how very many people you are touching and hopefully, many, many people will be discussing you at the dinner table, and making the very noble decision to take you under their wing and ultimately teach you to SOAR!!!
What a beautiful post Debbie! I believe the “breeder” has had the male dog neutered, so there will be no more experiments. I HOPE so!
Debbie I love reading your comments .. You should be a writer ..Azure,Skye,and Aqua .. I pray that Animatch find you three a loving permanent home .. Good luck Little sweet heart
As mentioned, there are many sites giving information and tips on blind dogs. Like the one I went to see, where there were very touching testimonies, tips, plenty of information like what to expect, what kind of toys are good for them… If someone is interested in adopting one of those babies but are reluctant, please check on these sites… just type blinddogs… Might help, and could not hurt…
you might be adopted real soon little cuz i know someone who sent a demand…..not me ;-( though someone real close to me!)
little one..**
you are so cute
The Skye is the limit for you, sweetheart! No worries…..There WILL BE “light” at the end of your tunnel, when you are nestled FOREVER in the arms of your new loving guardian… You are special in an indescribable way. I cannot look at you (or your siblings) without crying…..God Bless your precious souls! xxoo
To me, the most disgusting aspect of this story is that no matter what we think about how that crack-pot (he doesn’t really qualify as a breeder as far as I’m concerned) should be punished/sanctioned/fined - the fact is he did nothing LEGALLY wrong. Our government SUCKS and have SUCKED for decades now in this area at least. They don’t take responsibility for regulating this industry, which is mostly black market and unconscionable, or media forums like Kijiji and Lespacs which enable BYB activity and profitability. If only the government would put some effort into this area, for example, making sure tenants have a right to keep their animals, or making spay/neuter mandatory, or licensing the industry and collecting taxes on them. If these BYB were subject to the same government nitpicking as any other business, believe me many would just quit in despair!
Those puppies are God’s gift to us and I am so thankful that they ended up in Animatch’s lap so to speak. I don’t feel sorry for them, I am thrilled for them.
They will be adopted into loving homes and only know love and security the rest of their lives. They don’t think of themselves as defective or disabled, why should we?
The only thought that comforts me with regards to the crack-pot, is that “what goes around, comes around” and I hope that he or she gets a taste of their own stupidity one day, expanded to the nth degree.
Does this sweet girl need fostering?
Hi Vicki,
Skye is already in a foster home. It’s called Animatch!
The Animatch centre is actually a group home for dogs where they can socialize with other dogs and people while they wait for their forever families.
Good news for Skye! There is a family going to meet her today. I know them well and there could not be a more loving family that could dedicate themselves to her well being! Good luck Skye!
Good luck sweetie pie! You are without a doubt one of the most gorgeous little puppies that I have ever seen! Hope it works out for you little girl! Be happy, Skye! xxoo
Good evening,
I noticed that you have a reserved sign next Skye’s picture, I filled out an adoption application form, requesting the possibility of having Skye placed in my home, I would love to have her as an addition to our family friendly loving home..
Can someone please let me know.
Thank you in advance, waiting with baited breath..
There you go little one, it’s now YOUR turn, Skye! (You were always my favorite…sssshhhhhhh). Be happy forever, and ever, and ever….xxooo
Yessss! I am very happy for you little sweetheart! May you be happy for the rest of your long life! Have fun Skye! I too had a soft spot for her!
Now Debbie, here I go again, but this time for real : HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Lots and lots of love, health and happiness! xoxox
Good morning,
If any one has information to give me concerning Skye the puppy, I would love to give her a warm and loving home I have filled out the adoption forum, and am very interested in hearing back someone please, I have adopted children, its like waiting for THE CALL!!
Take care
Diane
I wish you a beautiful life with your new family Skye
Be happy sweet heart <3
Debbie, Happy Birthday to you
Thank you so much, Viviane and Youki! Very sweet of both of you~ xxoo
Oh Skye I am so happy for you - go with your furever family - be happy - be healty - believe in the flipside of humanity…there are caring people like your family that will be your eyes little love. I am sad to see you go - all three since I wont have the opportunity of seeing you guys grow ...hopefully the families will let us have a peek into their lives once in awhile.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE Have a Great and Special Day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE .. have a good day .. Maybe we will meet again at the PASTA for PUPS next month !! 27 APRIL ??
It just renews my faith in humanity that so many people were ready, willing and able to rescue and adopt these three beautiful furballs - and it just amazes me how quickly people mobilized to do so!!
Maybe I’m just feeling optimistic but it sure feels good to see that on the one hand, one person didn’t care about the lives of these dogs and on the other hand, so many people DID care - rescue workers, Animatch volunteers, families who applied to adopt, etc. How wonderful is that, eh?!
Hey ladies! I will be volunteering at Pasta for Pups and look forward to seeing you again! It will be a lot of fun even if there will be no fur flying around that night! LOL Thank you for coming out to support Animatch! :-D
Thanks so much, Lily and Françoise! You guys are THE BEST! The icing on the cake is knowing that these precious little souls have all found good, loving, devoted homes! I really did have a soft spot for this little SKYE sweetheart…she is more precious than words can say. I wish nothing but success and beautiful, long, happy relationships for all the puppies and their new respective families! It’s a GREAT day!!!
First time I saw these puppies on the website, I started to cry,,, Came back I decided that I would need to convince my husband and would fill out a form to adopt one if they were still available by March 21. Guess that destiny has decided otherwise…. Good luck little one !
Be a good little girl, Skye. Hope to follow your progress on Fan Mail! I would be very sad if I never got to see your precious self ever again~ Be happy….and always remember, the SKYE is the limit! xoxoxoxo
You and your two sisters . I wish you lots of love from your new parents .. Hope to see you on the ““Fan Mail”” the three of you xoxoxox
PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a gorgeous puppy and poem. She is a precious gem that you do not want to lose.She has an amazing story that brings tears to your eyes. She is a bundle of joy.
****************************
Are there any crazy dog lovers out there? Are there any of you that want to make a change? I mean about saving/helping dogs that are hurt, lost and neglected… Well… If there are.. you must read this…
*****************************
I was looking at the animatch video, and I clicked on another, and another. Until I had tears in my eyes… (a lot) I also saw pictures of dogs that were very skinny, hurt, and abandoned. Then I said to myself ” I want to make a change.” But how? I am only one person. So I need your help. With one person, not much can happen, but with 20, things are more possible. Then by telling your family and friends, it can build up to 50, 100, 1000. Who knows what can happen. Any age, gender it does not matter. You can be the change. have any of you herd about Free the Children? It started with one person, Krieg Kielburger, when he was around 10, and his brother, and now there are 10000 people that have joined. They help kids that are starving in Africa, Haiti, Asia…and even more. This is what can happen. Maybe you think it is weird, making a club for this reason, but imagine being that dog that is suffering and is abandonned.If you would like to help me, just send me an email to bkamke@lbpearson.qc.ca.
Thanks for reading this, and tell as many people as possible.
Billie
It’s Billie again. I misspelled my email. It is bkamke01@lbpearson.qc.ca. Thanks.
Skye, hope things are going well for you, precious sweetheart. Soon you should be moving to Success Stories, just like your siblings! xxoo
Skye.. your turn is next to be on the Success Storie.
Good luck ....
Skye will be coming back. The family’s other dog who was also adopted from us, and by the way is an absolute sweetheart with other dogs, was not tolerant of a bouncy puppy getting in her face. The family has fallen in love with Skye and want only the best for her.
Please note, Animatch does not place puppies in homes where people are away at work all day. Puppies need guardians who will be there to teach them how to live in a home with humans. For instance, why chewing shoes is a “No no,” and how going to the bathroom outside gets the best reaction from mom and dad. And even a treat!
Sorry little Skye ..It did not work out this time .. someone will fall in love with you very soon .. Love you little one
Oh, little sweetheart….I had a feeling….Not to worry, I’m sure lots of folks have also fallen in love with you and without even knowing you! You should be ‘On Trial” again in no time! ****Hugs****
Oh I’m so sorry Skye :-(
I’m sure that another family will soon fall under your charm! You are so sweet
Good luck pretty girl <3
Well Skye…consider this your OFFICIAL welcome back to Animatch…I guess if you can’t be in a home quite yet, ur in the best place ever! So, I get to stare at your precious self for a little while longer….Hope that there are lots of applications coming in for you and that before you know it, you will be in your forever home, forever! MUAH, sweetie pie!
Well, Skye, sorry this home was not the right one for you… Sorry for the family, too. I am sure that it was not an easy decision for them. The good thing about it, though, is that you seem to be a lively and bouncy pup, which is totally normal for a puppy! So I guess you are not as shy anymore… Good luck sweet baby!
Sorry it did not work out .. You need a quite home to be loved without the interference of another dog .. You are full of pep .. and older dogs cannot keep up with you .. So enjoy your stay at the shelter ..Love you little one
Really??? Seriously? Yahooooooooooo!!!! Please, please, let this be your FOREVER family, my sweet! Good luck, Skye. ****Kisses and hugs****
Yay! Fingers crossed for you Skye!
We all hope that this time is your time to move on to a permanent loving home . .. We ALL keep our fingers crossed .. GOOD luck sweet heart ..
