Thanks Sundial- they are looking for forever homes and the rescue has adopted out of state... maybe it's time for a fourth?

Fujichants- mom is a small shepherd mix with lots of shepherd. I have no idea yet what the dads were, but they sure made some cute puppies. There are 11 in the bunch and I'm guessing 2-3 baby's daddies. They should be posted up on the rescue site at www.sheprescue.org soon. We're in LA, too. Need a new puppy? Or two?

The puppies have been a lot of extra work, but have been loads of fun, too. I'm just relieved that it finally cooled off here. I was really worried about them when the heat reached 112. They're kenneled in the garage (with an air conditioner), but it was just so hot... We have 4 dogs and some other animals in the house, so it's been a little crazy. I want to get a pool for our big dogs, but I'm pretty sure we'll have the exact same experience as LoriO, plus a huge mess from me trying to make them understand how great the pool is.
