Meet Holly’s Half Dozen. These six Golden Retriever pups were born on June 24th and have already begun very important work — helping to heal the invisible wounds of our Nation’s Combat Veterans. Recovering Service Members at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the National Intrepid Center of Excellence in Bethesda, MD are engaged in the critical task of socializing the pups through puppy petting.
The litter of five girls and one boy will spend the next two years lifting the spirits of Wounded Warriors and giving them a therapeutic and purposeful mission. By volunteering to train the pups through the Warrior Canine Connection program, these Warriors will both address their symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress and prepare the pups for future lives as service dogs for their disabled comrades.
Tune into the Warrior Canine Connection whelping box over the next 8-10 weeks to feel the healing power of the human-puppy bond brought virtually to you by Dog Bless You.
Puppies sleep a lot although the one furthest from the camera might be dead. It hasn’t moved at all in five minutes.
No, I take that back. It moved far enough to fall back asleep again on the blanket. Now I’m having a hard time staying awake.
I too have been following this puppycam the past several weeks, after receiving an email from a friend with the link. In fact, a short while ago, I was thinking of checking in on the pups...then I saw your post. Awesome! Arent’t they adorable! I’ve so enjoyed watching them. How wonderful for this group to provide the cam. So glad they did!
OMG! They are adorable! This is the liveliest I’ve seen them! So playful! So cute! Makes me want one right now! Ha!
Okay...so it’s not all adorable...when they’re eating their own poop! Yuck! Gross me out!
PUPPY POWER!!!!
Thanks for mentioning the bears, I hadn’t watched it except to click through in disgust because my link wasn’t working. But since you mentioned them I really gave them some time and watching them is very interesting, also relaxing.
