Fostering with ARF: A new arrival!

Well, being a one puppy house didn't last long because we were asked to take on another pup. I felt Taro was a little lonely here so I didn't mind having another puppy at all! This pup's name is Benny and he appears to be only a few days younger than Taro so they are both 3 1/2 months (almost 4).
Taro got her 3rd vaccination in the parking lot at PetSmart which was a little different from what I'm used to in the hospital!! LOL
We have had to deworm the puppies again but that is no bother as well. It is so nice outside the pups just spend most of their time playing with eachother or lounging outside. Benny seems to be more of a better match for Taro than Kara was. They both seem to love to play and they are both pretty much the same size.
The first day we brought Benny home I put the food out (as I always did) and Benny proceeded to inhale his, then inhaled Taro's and then when I put more out for Taro, he went after that as well! I put an SOS out to my ARF contact about what to do but before she answered, David had it figured out... whew! Benny is now better at eating his own. We are working on tricks for Benny, he can sit and lay down and we are working on shaking a paw.
Taro is a black and white shepherd mix and Benny is a black/white/beige husky/shepherd mix.
We have an initial visit set up for Taro today, we are excited for her. She is going to make some family a terrific dog! Good luck Taro!!
