This is Saffron. Isn't she adorable? She's six weeks old, and if all goes as planned she will grow up to be a working dog. Her brother Sheldon is here too, he's a black lab and is destined for the working life as well. They are sweet-tempered pups.
It's busy here, but a good busy. Puppies and kids - lots of work, lots of fun. The extended family leaves tonight after dinner, and puppies go back to Guiding Eyes for the Blind on Friday.
I haven't had much chance to take pictures, just this one. We're trying to keep the puppies busy exploring and learning while also keeping the kiddies busy in parallel play so they don't overwhelm the pups.
The scale is wending its way back down, just one pound above the low. And it better, because I'm eating practically nothing. I want a new low number, and I want it soon.
I am deeply, deeply in love with Saffron. I am going to drive to your house tomorrow and steal her and love her forever. I will call her Saffy for short and we will be so happy together!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous puppy!
