Foster Kids Are Gone... New Ones Arrive

We had foster kids for about 9 days before they made the trip to Orlando.
They were picked up early on Monday. The rescue shelter for the pups posted pictures on Tuesday and it looks like they made the trip in fine form.
Our kids will be missing Thumper, Spot, Stryper, Supergirl, Tippy, Ferrett, Coon, Zinc, Cinnamon, Honey, and the baby, Natalie.

Today, Wednesday, four new pups arrived. These are 9 weeks old as opposed to the others being 4 weeks old. Kaitlyn and Christopher are already having a grand time playing.

Booklist

Flinx Transcendent by Alan Dean Foster
Foster brings his long-running series starring Flinx to a close with the final confrontation of the evil that is bent on destroying the universe.
I started reading the Flinx series back in the 80's and have enjoyed most of the books. This is a worthwhile send-off to two popular characters.



CryoBurn by Lois McMaster Bujold
Another in the excellent Miles Vorkosigan series. This is one of the series of books that I eagerly await new offerings. This book is not a disappointment.

Dog Pictures

We have been fostering a mama dog and 11 puppies for a week now. The pups are leaving on Saturday and mama will be staying with us for a while longer.
The pups are adorable and they are developing very distinct personalities even at only 5 weeks old.
Most of the noise comes from 4 of the pups, and they are usually sitting at the baby gate waiting for someone to come pick them up.
3 of the 4 (our own gang of 4) are pictured below. The 3 below are (l to r) Honey, Thumper and Ferret.
