So tomorrow I'm picking up 9, yes that's not a typo, 9 puppies. They are apparently very young and are being rejected by their mother. They are staffy x's and a mixture if boys/girls. I don't have much more info than that for now. I'll go pick them up from the shelter tomorrow and see what's what.
. I'm happy to do my bit and find the experience very rewarding once its over. In hindsight its always great. But I have to say I'm always pretty nervous until I see them. Like looking down the barrel of a gun. I have my fingers crossed they'll be eating real food by now otherwise it's a whole different and time consuming enterprise.
The biggest challenges I faced last time was keeping them contained and cool. It was mid summer when I has the last lot with temps above 30c and as they were heelers which are very clever and industrious. Thankfully staffy, whilst lovely and lively, aren't the sharpest tools in the box as a rule. And we're back to mid 20s now which is much more doable.
Right I am off for a nice long bath- it may be the last one I have time for! For now anyways. Don't worry I will shower just not luxurious hot baths.
Wish me luck tomorrow!
