Honey In the middle of July, officers summoned to the scene of an eviction found something unexpected: a frightened Golden mom and her five brand-new pups. Just 2 or 3 days old, the puppies weighed under a pound each and still had their eyes tightly closed. The little family was taken to the shelter – but that’s no place for new puppies, so they moved to a GRR foster home that very day.

Honey is probably about 7 years old, and her foster mom reports she’s an excellent mother taking tender care of her babies. She is housebroken and very quiet and soft-natured—a little bit shy of new things, but not afraid at all of storms! She is eating well and has lots of milk for the pups.
And as for those pups … ! Well, here you see them at just three days old, but we hope to have new pictures up soon – their eyes are open, now! They look all Golden to us at this young age, but since Daddy was probably a traveling man, it’s hard to say for certain. They’re so little that we haven’t given them names yet – they just go by the color of the little rick-rack collars they’ve been wearing to help us tell them apart. There are three boys (Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, and Mr. Red) and two little girls (Miss Pinkie and Miss Violet).

Are you ready to welcome a puppy or a young mother into your home in about 6 weeks’ time? That’s when the puppies will be big enough to leave their mother, and at that point Miss Honey will be spayed and be ready for a new home herself, as well. (And that gives you plenty of time to puppy-proof the new baby’s room, get the crate set up, invest in lots of puppy chew toys, and so on.)
