Musher and outdoors writer Blair Braverman (previously, previously) has two litters of puppies on her ranch this year, one slightly older than the other. In these times of distress and sorrow, she uses Twitter threads to keep the world apprised, through pictures and video, of the tiny discoveries of tiny dogs.
the puppies like this hole
6 puppies + 8 puppies = 10,000 puppies
Sled blobs on a mission

(note: do not be alarmed by the presence of a pup called Pepehead; Pepe is the pup's grandmother, named in more innocent days)

The nursing home! Oh, that's a brilliant place to take a litter of six-to-ten-week-old puppies that need some socialization--extra joy for the people who will pet the puppies and plenty of odd things to a puppy that can be taken in stride because PETTING YAY! As long as the pups are healthy and no one's immunocompromised, I don't think I can think of a better place for a litter of puppies to visit.

If you backtrack on her Twitter timeline, you will discover that Braverman signed up for the Iditarod today.

has two litters of puppies

I initially read this as "two litres of puppies" and had this happy image of a giant tankard overflowing with little fluffy dogs.

Just one puppy is exhausting! I cannot conceive of what more than a dozen would be.

There were ten in the bed
And the littlest said,
"Roll over! Roll over!"
So they all rolled over and
one fell out

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Thank you for this beautiful post!

paradise but with small poops everywhere

The most we've ever had is seven and yeah the amount of poop is really remarkable, as are the amount of work and the amount of biting.

the worst is when there is a suspicious lack of poops everywhere, which means that either 01) they have found somewhere hidden to poop in unison and you will not find it until it has reached poop crisis levels or 02) they are hungrily devouring it, a realization you arrive at precisely at the moment when they are all licking your face.
