Den of Ten

What’s more puppy-filled than Beretta’s recent nest of nine?  Smith’s new den of ten!  She had the puppies out in the woods, in a ground-level hollow beneath some fallen trees. (It took over an hour for this human to traipse into the woods, ease past thorns and vines, go over and under various logs, and then finally locate and rescue the dogs.). The amazingly large litter moved from woods to barn via bucket transport, followed anxiously and closely by mother Smith all the way. All appear fine; the milk bar is open (and the gate to the woods is temporarily closed…).
