We finally succumbed to the subtle pressure of friends and family for whom a farm without farm dogs is not a farm. Allow us therefore to introduce you to Maggy, a two-year-old black Labrador retriever, and her five pups, now four weeks old. We would have liked to know the father, but what matters most is that mother and pups are healthy, and the pups are growing by leaps and bounds. We picked them up at the SPCA – an organization that works hard to find new homes for animals abandoned by their owners. We are acting as a foster home until the puppies are old enough to be adopted. We won’t be keeping them all – the mum and two pups will be more than enough.
To dog-lovers reading this: that leaves three puppies to be adopted…
