Perhaps the sleuths who provided those details can remind us where they found them.
They always planned to rehome the puppies, from the birth on, but it took Esther and Dan quite a while to do so. All info is on the blog. If I knew how to navigate that blog, I'd be rich. I'll have to find another way to hit the jackpot, but from memory: two puppies stayed with a family next door in Spain from 8 weeks on, two found a home with friends in France much later, and three are with family in the UK.
Well @Puzzles, @ZaZara, and @stmarysmead, call me crazy, but I just spent the last several hours combing through the ED / DC blogs, their joint FB page and ED's FB page (I am not on Instagram) trying to piece together their dog story. Forgive me, I did the best I could to source this information but it is from many places.
This is not complete, but here is what I can confirm:
- During January 2017 (Pup Count = 7)
- Leela (Mama dog) was adopted early January 2017 in Spain
- Leela give birth to 6 puppies at the end of January 2017 (George, Bella, Teddy, Jess, Rose and Patti)
- By end of April 2017 (Pup Count = 5)
- 2 puppies were given to "other families"*, "amazing new homes" and DC/ED were able to visit Jess (in San Jose) and Teddy (in France) over the years*
- By mid-May 2020 (Pup Count = 4)
- George had gone to ED's mum and dad's home and Patti was still with the pack (see pic on ED's FB page, 16/5/2020)
- ED's FB page, 13/05/2020: "George isn't currently here with the pack.... he's been living with my mum and dad..."
- By mid-July 2020 (Pup Count = 3)
- Patti had gone to ED's mum and dad's home (see 14/7/2020 DC/ED FB post - they are in the UK, their new tent and with George and Patti)
- Olive Press Puppy Love article*, 19/11/2020: "I convinced my mum that Patti and George would inject some energy... so they live there now."
Anyhow, not sure this adds anything to our sleuthing here. But since we keep circling around the 'pup facts' I thought I'd try to clear up any confusion.
And perhaps it is important to point out in addition to the BBC article about ED / DC on 22/11, the Olive Press Puppy Love* article came out 19/11, three days before the BBC article. That is A LOT of publicity just before ED disappeared... and clearly ED and DC were marketing their books leading up to those big stories being published.
