Would you be patient in a pickle? Our Pickle has exercised a tremendous amount of patience as her 10 pups have grown rapidly. With the frequent spring rain and wet snow, Pickle has found herself inside with all of those puppies. From wrestling one another to racing back and forth, her 7 week old litter stretch the limits. On the few milder days, her pups have had the opportunity to explore outside while Pickle has enjoyed a well-earned nap in the sun. At just about 7 weeks old, her puppies will soon get the opportunity to strike out on their own. We are not sure if Pickle is counting the days until they go home but even a patient golden has her limits!
