As most of you know, we're not in the habit of having mother dogs give birth to their puppies at Straydog. In fact this is the first litter born here. As you also know, we are constantly preaching and will continue to constantly preach spay and neuter--conception control--to stop poor dogs like Freckles from becoming pregnant. But Lucy and Louie and their two chocolate brothers are tiny dogs now with very special needs, and when we made the commitment to provide a home for their blind mother,Freckles, two weeks ago, we made the same commitment to her babies: a home and good care until they are adopted.
