3 week old puppies and their mommy

OOOH!!!!! I love new puppies, they are so sweet.  I love the noise they make as they suckle from their mommy!  I have this batch in a clean room that has never had puppies, so there is no parvo, so that is good, they will be safe.  There are 8 of them. The mommy was dropped off at a local shelter while she was pregnant and she gave birth just one day later there at the shelter! They were so cute that they weren't put down immediately, but instead cared for by the staff at the shelter.  The puppies were in the cat room in a sweet little blue swimming pool swathed in many many blankets.  The staff at the shelter are so wonderful! They don't want to have to kill the puppies and they find rescues whenever they can.  My house is risky because we recently had parvo, and I haven't secured all the rooms just yet.

Here is a sweet photo of the mommy and puppies.

Well, the mommy doesn't look as cute as she really is in this photo. Also, they are living in a room that incorporates the "observation" rooms that used to exist here at the school when it was the "Center for Exceptional Children"  These rooms locked from the outside, were lined with shag carpet and padding, had observation windows and overhead lighting to observe the ill behaved children that couldn't behave in a regular classroom.
