Chapter 4 -- A Whole New World

It must be a scary and exciting experience for our puppies -- each day another puppy's (or two, or three...) eyes open and they are starting to see the world around them.  I wonder what they are thinking.  Are they excited?  Are they happy?  Are they curious?  Are they nervous?  Are they scared?  Are they all of the above?  What an interesting thing to think about.  This is all brand new to them.  We have an opportunity of a lifetime -- we can help them to view the world as a wonderful, rewarding, interesting place.

We are thrilled that the Society for the Protection of Animals (S.P.A.) has allowed us the privilege of being this family's caregivers.  It is an experience we will never forget and one we have already been blessed over and over by.  If you are interested in helping S.P.A., or in adopting a new member of your family, please contact them -- www.spaohio.org. These puppies will not be ready for adoption until after the holidays, but they have lots of other cats and dogs who need forever homes right now.

The puppies are growing like weeds and starting to show their individual personalities.  Some are outgoing and gregarious, others are more reserved, some are very vocal and others are content just to eat and sleep.  They are all very active and very social.  Some of them are starting to be a little more independent and some of them love to always be a part of their sibling group.  It is great fun to watch each of them every day as they grow and change and become individuals.

I will have new pictures sometime this week!!!!
