Cutest Dog EVER

Okay okay, I know I say this every time, but this puppy seriously is the Cutest Dog EVER!

It is Lindsay's turn to name the pup, and she decided to name her "Lillian." Lillian is a sweet 7-week old baby with a precious face. She is so lovey, and she falls asleep right on your lap within seconds of arriving there.

She might be the tiniest pup we have had so far, with the exception of another Franklin County Humane Society pup, Rose, who we kept for two weeks earlier this year.

Of course, leave it to me to get the ruler out and take photos for y'all to see.



Today's lesson for my 7-week old pup was about food. I petted her face, back, and head the entire time she was eating. I want her to know that I will not take her food, and that there is no need to be food-aggressive. I'll keep you posted.

Color-Coding Puppies

In the world today, people use color codes like they are going out of style. If we're not stopping at a red light, we're going at a green light. Colors tell us what file to pull and what emails to read first. Our teams have colors. Our schools have colors. We use colored highlighters and subject dividers. Pharmacists use colors to differentiate between drugs and drug strengths.

Apparantly, I use color code to identify puppies.

I'm one of the luckiest girls in town. Franklin County Humane Society called on me the other day to take care of four precious lab puppies in my home. When my new friend Michelle met me with the pups, we put them one in a time into my car, and I realized that I am completely unable to tell the pups apart. They all look very similar. They have a few unique qualities, but to the new foster mom's eye, it is tough to differentiate between any of them.

I bought collars for the babies on the first day.

For photo ID purposes, I will give you my color code:

Blue: Caine, our biggest pup and the only boy. He is such a lovey dovey. He is the Alpha. He is very gentle and sweet. He likes to be held. He climbs into the bowl of food when he eats.

Pink: Cassie, or we call her "Ears." Her ears are beautiful, and look like those of a Shepherd. She is funny and playful. She is also sweet and best on the leash, so far.

Green: Carrie, our sweet little human (in a dog's body). She does not want to go outside. She is a couch potato. She gives soft kisses and wants to be held. She is such a cuddler.

Purple: Charity, our little teeny puddin pie. She is precious. She also likes to be held. She is so little compared to her brother Caine. She enjoys long walks on the beach and sleeping in on Sundays (just kidding).

These pups are available for adoption from Franklin County Humane Society.
