4 Weeks Old... Maybe 5

Found dancing in the middle of the Waukeenah Highway early one Monday morning mid September. I could not 'shoo' her out of the road. That day, she won the Puppy Lottery. I got a towel from the back of my car and picked her up -- she was 3.1 pounds of mutt -- dirty, wet, covered in fleas and canine lice. The day after this picture was taken, the vet told us about the lice. He was so excited to show them to me -- first in his reference book and then under the microscope where they looked like tiny little water buffaloes. He said, "Oh, don't worry. They're species specific. They won't infest humans." Well, thank god. I can deal with fleas all day long.
