Puppy Cam Entertains and Boosts Spirits

Posted November 14, 2008 11:30 AM by SavvyExacta

Six Shiba Inu puppies (and their mom) from San Franscisco, CA have become the latest webcam stars with over 3 million views. While they spend a lot of time sleeping, you can check in to see them wrestling, eating, and playing tug-of-war with various toys.

Click to see the live feed of the puppies, initially launched by their owners to keep an eye on them. In a People.com article the anonymous owners state that the feed "livens up [the] spirits" of "people who are in hospitals battling various diseases". Watching their antics has certainly brightened my day in relation to the dreary weather outside and the stress I have been under lately.

The pups were born on October 7 and are waiting to go to their new homes. No word on how much longer the webcam will be up and running, but puppies are usually ready to go at six to eight weeks old – making a possible shut-down date anywhere from November 17 to December 1. Enjoy them while it lasts!
