PUPPY POWER!


POLYGESTALT BARKS:


Tonight, we added two new additions to the family. Both of them are five-to-six week old puppies from different parents and neither are pure-bred.


BELLA (the light-colored one) is from a litter of puppies whose mom died one month after birthing them; her mom was abandoned at a nearby dog park. We suspect that she has some lab, german shepard and maybe some pit bull mixed into her.


DONNA (the black one) is from a litter of puppies where the father is a 100 pound lab and the mother is a small terrier. She's also the runt of the litter. So... who knows how big she'll get eventually.


And yeah, we like word play. :)
