When my kids ask for pets I tell them, “we have kids, not pets.” \u00a0A person can only be stretched so far. \u00a0But Kristen had a pretty ingenious setup – the kids gave the puppies to grandma and grandpa for Christmas, so they have a puppy-aunt and puppy-uncle kind of situation happening. \u00a0Win-win!<\/p>\n
On this beautiful fall day we met at Sandy Peters’ house, owner of Peters’ Puppies<\/a>. The night before she had been up with the puppies every two hours making sure they were clean and had eaten. Her heart for puppy raising is infectious.<\/p>\n
I had the opportunity to photograph this same litter <\/a>a few weeks earlier when they were a bit younger. There were nine of them – watching them hop through the yard\u00a0was like watching popcorn pop.<\/p>\n
