I’m catching up on my last few weeks worth of events. I moved to Toronto at the start of the month, and spent the first week staying at my parents’ house. They’ve been looking after a friend’s dog (Javi) for the past few years, and Javi’s owner is opposed to spaying… so Javi had just had her fourth litter at the start of August. The last litter arrived last May, sired by a viszla hound, and my parents kept one dog from that litter, Shanti.
So, there were eight five-week old puppies in the house, and life was very hectic taking care of them all. This time the father was a husky, and the puppies look very husky-like since Javi’s also part husky. My parents were on a cycling vacation in Ireland, so I was spending several hours each day letting the puppies run around, and cleaning up after them.
On the upside they’re all ridiculously cute, and it’s fun showing them off to the dog fans who cluster around the house whenever the puppies are playing in the yard. The five biggest puppies have now gone to new homes, with the three smaller ones nursing for an extra week without competition from their larger siblings.
