Prison puppies

Yesterday, the pups made the big move to Indiana Women's Prison to be raised by the dedicated ICAN handers.  The women were waiting with eager anticipation and proudly showed off the new puppy pen.  The pups traveled well in the car, with just a bit of complaining.  They were all able to ride together in a big crate.  Juliette approved of the change of venue - many more people to give her lots of attention.  Juli was raised in the ICAN prison-based assistance dog training program, so this is a familar place for her.  Juliette's second litter, full sibs to this litter, was also raised at IWP.

The University litter's new names:
  • Blue boy - Duke
  • Yellow boy - Purdue (black and yellow are Purdue colors)
  • Purple girl - Brooks (Brooks Institute, the alma mater of ICAN's talented photographer Liz Kaye)
  • Green boy - Taylor
  • Orange boy - Dakota
  • Pink girl - Albany "Ally" (SUNY at Albany, alma mater of ICAN's Exec Director)
  • Black boy - Franklin
  • Red boy - Wesleyan

The pups had their first brief outing yesterday with Nancy.  I took them out today for another experience with grass, breeze, and other new sensations.
