The puppies are now almost 13 wks old and everyone has gone to their new homes except for Wilma who is now Trinity and will stay with us. We had Daisy for a while too until we found the most awesome home for her. Thank you Paula and Brian, you are a dream home and we are so grateful she has found her place with you. Before going to her new home Daisy who is now Sierra and Trinity had quite a few adventures including starting on their obedience training, a long car ride to Maine for a weekend away and apple picking at a local farm.
I've finally finished cleaning up the puppy pen and putting all the toys and equipment away. We've scrubbed the kitchen clean and finally got the dogs back to their normal routine. Having a litter of puppies take over the house is a fun project but it wreaks havoc on the day to day life of a family :) ! The kids were so excited to have the kitchen table back and Zuma and Rhys are happy to be back in the kitchen where they can see everything that is going on when they are crated.
This week I hope to finish up the paper work, not my favorite task. I will mail out the tatoo registrations, photocopy the contracts and mail them out with the AKC registrations and the naming email. I am always amazed at just how much time this takes.
I have 7 of the pups in puppy kindergarten. In fact they graduate tonight !! They are making excellent progress on their socialization and basic training, I am very proud of them. They are a little rowdy when they play but this is typical for littermates. The other 4 pups are doing well too. I get regular updates from all and hear that they are having many adventures and are bringing alot of joy to their families. I am so pleased to hear that...it makes it all worthwhile.
Well, we've come to the tail end I guess. Time to move on and let the pups go and become the individuals they were meant to be. So glad they are in such capable hands, it feels good to know they are loved and cared for by such wonderful families.
Thank you everyone for taking good care of the Cartoon Litter, pictures and updates are always welcome.
