puppies in residence

Back by popular demand–puppies!

Well the little ones aren’t so little anymore. Indeed, they’ll be seven weeks old on Saturday, which means they are only a week away from being adopted out.

Sniff sniff.

We have found homes for five of the six, at least on the future caretakers’ words. One of these is so excited that she’s been asking me for a couple weeks already when she can come and take hers (one of the two that look like Stella). I’m staying firm on the eight-week mark though, so she’ll just have to wait until next weekend.

I haven’t posted photos, but the pups have been staying in what P calls their “residence” (seriously, in English but with an Italian accent) that I whipped up for them one afternoon. They have specified places to eat, sleep, play, and do the other stuff they need to do, and they’re getting increasingly better at understanding which are which. This helps with housebreaking in their new homes, they say, so I thought it was worth a try.

Here are five of them (the fifth is a blur behind the two up on the mini-wall) wondering why I chose the sixth to let out of the residence to play with Mamma and me. They all get their turns, of course, but not all at once. That’d be crazy.

And here is the chosen one of the moment in an intimate scene with Stella. Yes I played with this a bit in Photoshop. Could’ve played for a lot longer, but alas, life calls.
