I've been caring for 10 puppies in the past several years. I was in the Peace Corps in Benin, West Africa, and had a tendency for taking in lost pups. One of my dogs had a litter of 6 sweet puppies (in my cover photo), and she unfortunately died a week later. I raised the puppies off a formula I crafted in a rural village, they all survived, and I brought the runt of the litter home - my little Alfie :-). Since then, I've been looking for more fur friends to fill the house. Alfie and I live in a large apartment in the Historic District of Salem and like to take walks to the Salem Commons, and maybe stop by Notch for some socializing :-). Mostly, we like to have extra fur friends around!
