puppy tsunami

The last weekend of July was 111F (44C) and someone dumped a big batch of puppies near our house. 5 boys and 4 girls. 
We're going to need homes, donations and moral support!












Sean spotted them scattered in the underbrush along the road. 
It was mid day and I can't express how hot it was while we were doing this.  
5 in the the first batch.

















Two more. They are panting and we are drenched. 
At this point we thought there was either one more or we had them all.

















After a brief cool down period and a change of clothes, a final foray turned up 2 more. 
This is the face of despair.

















Getting them settled took up most of the weekend. 
They've been wormed, deloused and cuddled.












Sunday was bath day for super stinky puppies.

I told her it was too hot but she insisted we needed supervision.
Frida's diaper hangs above us like a flag.
