We were fortunate to find some wonderful local dog lovers who have been willing to work flexible hours (during the week and on weekends) to help us with this litter and to spend time with our big dogs when Biff and I have been attending to Reine and the puppies. Each helpers’ affection for dogs is obvious and they’ve pitched in with related chores in the barn and in the backyard. We are grateful! Below are two of the five who are working with us this summer.
