It's surprising to me that any dog could make Harriet look big, but they've done it. Mo and BB appear to be some sort of lab mix. Their official names are Michelle and Barbara; all the puppies of the litter were named after presidents or first ladies. But it felt really awkward calling a dog Barbara. So we're going with their initials.

They are supposedly 6 weeks old, but oh my goodness they are tiny and skinny. You can particularly see it in the photo of BB, how boney she is in the hips and ribs.
We were originally supposed to get two puppies from a different litter last week, but that group turned out to possibly have ringworm, so they have to recover before they can be fostered. Though I'm worried about the fate of those puppies, for our sake these girls were worth the wait. They're eating a little bit at a time. Mo can't figure out how to eat puppy kibble so we've been crushing it up and mixing it with water so she'll eat. They are playful and talkative.
But most of all, they are sleepy.
The toughest part is keeping them isolated from our other dogs for the first 2 weeks. Truman wants to sniff them SO badly!
