scifi_fest is up! I'm pretty excited about the prompts I picked. And about maybe getting some actual writing done.
Now that's out of the way...
The day after the baby horse was born (now known as Johnny), this momma dog (a yellow lab) and her puppies (eleven puppies) were brought into my mom's vet clinic. She'd been hit by a car and her owners wanted to put her down and leave the puppies, as you do, so Mom took the whole lot home. They're currently living in my dad's home office (he's very good with puppies).
The mom-dog's going to need several surgeries - she's only got two working legs at the moment - but Mom is confident she'll make a full recovery.
They've got multiple fathers; the breakdown, as far as we can tell, is five half-australian shepherds, three half-dobermans, two half-boxers and a quarter-husky/quarter-rottweiler. Makes for a colorful puppy pile.
I've got pictures of them y'know, awake, but that camera's back at my parent's. Guess I'll have to do more puppy spam later, oh well.
This is Sassafras, Roommate D's new kitten.
