We're 12 for 13!

The last of the puppies left today, to go to their forever homes. So far, we've fostered 13 dogs, and 12 of the 13 have been adopted. The other one, Periwinkle, was just too good to pass up and lives here with us.

My son thinks we'll get another litter right away. It's really hard explaining to a four year old boy that puppies aren't available at the local Wal-Mart. We just have to wait until another mama and litter needs our help.

It WILL be nice to be able to park in the garage again!

The pasta pups

We started out with ten puppies, back in January. Mom went back to the shelter in February (she's NOT cat friendly, and we have 3 cats). The rest of the litter was spayed / neutered and finished their shots in early March. They've had exactly 2 outings to meet their prospective families.

We now have 3 puppies left. Two of the three are looking at the camera in the picture below. My son calls the black and tan puppy "Boss" because, well, she's the queen of the litter. Aren't they cute?
