In mid-June, I offered to foster all the male puppies of a purebred litter that was surrendered to the German Shepherd rescue. They were just six weeks old.
Ultimately, I decided not to keep any of the puppies. In hindsight, I really really regret it now. On the one hand, if feels like we really missed out on an opportunity that we might not get back and Derek could have had a brother to start loving; on the other hand, it’s only been a month since we lost Hanno. But, still, was no harm in just giving the puppy a chance. If things went wrong, Randy will be here in August and he could have taken the puppy back to Seattle.
UPDATE: Here is one of the puppies (silver) at nine weeks old.
