Have you ever tried to take pictures of puppies? Unless you wear them out completely, it's hard to get them to stand still, but then it is difficult to get a bad picture. These little guys are so adorable. Birch is a little shyer than his brother, Fall 04-335, and we have been giving him lots of cuddles and attention (tough duty). He's only been here 24 hours and is starting to get more comfortable. He and his brother run around the backyard, tumbling over each other. He is snuggled up on the couch with my husband. Yes, we are starting the habit of getting on the furniture, but you can't help yourself, he is too cute and sweet as can be.

Birch is an 8-week-old puppy who was part of a 9- puppy litter that came into RAGOM. The same family gave us 6 puppies in the spring and were so pleased with how we found homes for the others, they gave us 9 more! One of RAGOM's missions is to educate people about how to avoid accidental breedings and we are sharing this information with the family. We are so glad that they called us again so these wonderful pups can find the perfect forever homes and live happily ever after, which is what they deserve.
