Don’t you just love puppies. These little guys belong to a neighbour and I couldn’t resist visiting them. They are the result of an ‘unplanned’ pregnancy. Although the mother was locked up her interested ‘cousin’ couldn’t help but dig down three feet beneath the chicken wire caging to say hello. There are actually six of these kelpie pups, with number seven already lost to a snake bite. I must admit I did harbour vague aspirations towards getting one however having already lost two dogs this year; one to a boar pig and the most recent to a brown snake I’ve decided to wait until the end of January. So I guess I’ll have to get my puppy fix from next door. These little pups were quite shy, although maybe it had something to do with the 38 degree afternoon.
