Puppies, Puppies, and More Puppies

Oh goodness!!!!  We took in a foster dog a couple of months ago and found out that she was going to have puppies.  So we got ready for the arrival.  She was severely underweight when we took her in so we were worried about her but we also thought there was only going to be 3ish puppies.  At 2 in the morning on March 20th the foster dog woke us up and began having puppies.  By the time we left for work/ school there were 6 puppies.  Wow!  When we got home there were 7 puppies. We spent several weeks in puppy bliss where their mommy was taking great care of them.  Then about 2 weeks ago she decided she was done taking care of them so we got to bottle feed them and begin feeding them solid food.  Now we are in puppy craziness.  They are mastiff mixes that we call "coconut mastiffs" and they are growing fast.  But, they are a TON of work too.  I have never spent so much time cleaning up after creatures in my life.  They are a huge mess and they have really sharp little teeth.  So anyway, I am glad they are doing well and that they all have adoptive homes they will go to in about a week.  I will try and post some photos of the utter adorability. 
This is Maggie who was found by a vet student and a vet on island.

They are ABC's; Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Delilah, Elizabeth, Francis and Gideon.  These are the pictures of when they were first born and now they are 5 weeks old so I will post some new photos soon.  They are so big now and so much fun.  I will try to take photos of them just after a bath.
