It’s been a while since I’ve posted about the Little Rascals litter. All ten puppies are doing great. At seven weeks old they’re very active and quite a lot of work. We’ve enlisted our new Base Pack pup, Morgan (the yellow one on the left above) to help play with and socialize the puppies.
Two of Chocolate’s puppies, Darla and Ms. Crabtree, have been sent to another foster home to make the group a little more manageable.

You may recall that four of these puppies are from a different mother and were born four days before Chocolate had her litter. Those four pups will be returning to CCHS on Wednesday to be spayed/neutered and then go up for adoption.

The other four and the two at the other foster home will return to CCHS on Friday for their surgeries and then they will be put up for adoption.

Chocolate will stay with us a little longer. We have to wait for her milk to dry up, then she’s going back to CCHS and will be available for adoption, too. Chocolate has been a good mother. She enjoys playing with her puppies and has taken very good care of them.
This kind of play may look a little rough, but actually Chocolate is being very careful not to hurt the pup. They enjoy playing “mouth games” with each other and it is an important game for the puppies to learn. Mouth games help the pups learn to inhibit their bite and to use their teeth gently.
If you are interested in adopting one of these puppies contact the Champaign County Humane Society for more information.
