My photo at facebook shows me with a 6 week old Golden Retriever puppy that was part of a litter of 10 pups born in County Clare, Ireland. The woman who owned the "mom" breeds dogs that go into guide dog service for blind people in Ireland. My husband and I were driving on the Burren Coastal Road on our way back to Galway from the Cliffs of Moher when I saw two women, each walking a Golden Retriever. Some break for squirrels and ice cream shops. . . we break for people with beautiful dogs! So we stopped the car and got out to meet the ladies and their fluffy friends.
They told me that one dog was theirs and the other they were walking for a friend who lived on the waterfront coast road about a block away AND that she was home tending to her female retriever who had a litter of pups 6 weeks earlier. Because it was Ireland where everybody is amazingly friendly, I followed their instruction to go to the house and just go in if no one answers the door as they are probably in the backyard (of course, they said,"in the garden," where you'll find her and the mom of the 10 pups as well as the pudgy brood.
If you are a dog lover, imagine sitting on the grass, surrounded by a lovely cutting garden of colorful and aromatic flowers, with ten puppies climbing in your lap, on your shoulder, up your legs, . . . truly a moment in Dog Heaven.
That photo freezes that moment in time and is such a happy memory to crawl into on a day when things are not completely right with the world.
You can see the photo album with the puppies at this link:http://www.sabrams.com/photoGallery/g...
There is a full page of photos at that url and if you go to the next page there are more including photos of the 9-12 year old girls who came over after school each day to help take care of the puppies, mostly play with them and have a glass of milk and some cookies (biscuits). At seven weeks, the pups were farmed out to families for a year to each raise one in a loving atmosphere before they went off to be trained as service dogs. How lucky for me to have stumbled in on the right week! Ah, the joys of traveling!
