There was a note on the bulletin board at the Wagon Wheel, a garden/pet store saying "free puppies, too many to choose from". So we decided to check it out. The place was at the end of the road through three junk yards. Warren went in the "house", a 12' by 14' cabin, the man opened the side door and 14 puppies and 2 moms flooded out. It was incredible. The guy's two dogs had 8 puppies each a week apart and he had only gotten rid of two of them so far. 
We picked the smallest puppy from the smallest mom. Emerald promptly named her Rose, and she is about 9 weeks old. It is so cute to watch her running after everyone. One trip to the chicken house and she needs a nap. 
She likes to stay outside and runs to the door to be let out. She still cries all night, I gave her a stuffed rabbit and she snuggles with that when she gets lonely.
Wenge's kittens are doing great. She doesn't not like Rose and staunchly defends the house by turning into attack cat if she catches Rose inside.We are having a lot of fun with this farm thing, but it has been a busy week, 58 baby chicks on Monday, 5 kittens on Friday, and a puppy on Saturday. The chicks are doing great, only one died so far, the bees are humming, and the garden is happy. Spring has sprung at White Mountain Ranch!
