Day Fifty Nine

 

We tried to get some new stacked photos of the three puppies that are still here but it proved to be a fruitless endeavor. Between the puppies having too much energy and the lighting being all wrong we only managed to get one picture and it was of Pilgrim. We will try again. Here is the only picture we got. He has a feather toy in his mouth which he tried to eat.

 

I received some really cute pictures of Belle in her new home.

Hmmmm  I do believe Belle may have gotten Maks' brains!

Baby Mel doesn't know what to think!


 

And then there were three

Today Cranberry now known as Belle went to her new home. She will be Rim Rock's Second Alarm. Matt and Erin own Bunker who is a littermate to Grandma Bizzi and have been waiting patiently for a female puppy to add to their family. Erin has shown horses and rabbits and now would like to learn to show Dalmatians! I am so happy that Belle has joined their family.

 

 

 

 

Day Fifty Five

Not much is happening so I have very little to report. Unfortunately I ran out of the nice paper I had to line the puppy pen with so I had to resort to newspaper. Luckily LaDonna had some newspaper that I could have. Our local newspaper company use to give the butt rolls away to whoever wanted it but they are no longer doing that. I would gladly pay them for it but that is not an option. I had about 8 rolls but now it is all gone. I hate to use newspaper because it makes the puppies gray.  Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.

Indian always has his nose on the ground. I think he would make a tracking dog.

Well it has spots but I don't think it is a kitty

 

Day Fifty Three

This evening Kennedy met his new people. Melissa and Lexie drove from one end of the state to the other to get their new family member! The top choice for his new name is Miles. I think that will suit him nicely. He will share his life with 4 human siblings and 2 kitty ones. What a busy boy he will be!

 

And then there were four......

 

Sweet little Indian is stealing my heart.....

Pilgrim is so pretty and so sweet!

Is it safe to come out... our litter mates keep disappearing....

Macy and Loki are fast becoming best friends!

Sweet Dancer can't resist a tug o war game with Gracie.

 

 

Day Fifty Two

The puppies were quiet for most of the morning which isn't surprising.  They often are a little subdued when some of their litter mates go to new homes. It was short lived though because they were hellions the rest of the day! People often ask how can I bear to part with them? Some are harder than others but as each one goes I feel as though I have not lost a puppy but rather made new friends!
Cranberry will be leaving next weekend and her new name will be Belle. I am sure she will have a wonderful life with her new human family and her uncle Bunker!

And then there were five.....

The first puppy to leave was Mayflower who is now known as Gracie. Her registered name is Rim Rock's Let Us Give Thanks! Very appropriate since they were born on Thanksgiving.  Carol and Jack recently lost one of there Golden and Gracie is going to try to wiggle her way into their hearts. I have a feeling she had them at hello!

 

Next to leave was Macy. Macy will be sharing her live with Barb, Keith and Gavin along with a handsome Pitt Bull boy, Loki and a kitty. Best wishes go out to this sweet little pup. I am sure she will be following Gavin around in no time! I think Emily would have gone home with Gavin as they seemed to hit it off right away.

 

The third puppy to leave today was Gobblegirl. Her new name will be Sophie! When James called me to find out if I had any puppies he told me that they recently lost their Dalmatian and his wife Victoris was taking the lose very hard and she needed a new Dal to love.  The first time they came to visit Gobblegirl went right over and introduced herself. She seemed to know they were her people. I'm sure she will be very loved and perhaps a bit spoiled.

 

A friend gave me a couple of dog beds that her Bassett puppy out grew. I thought the puppy would love them but it seems Grandma Bizzi likes to squeeze into them also.

 

 

Day Fifty

I was too tired last night to report the results of the hearing test so I will let you know now. All 8 puppies can hear in both ears!  This litter is awesome if I must say so myself. All 8 are very pretty. All 8 have dark eyes and good pigment. All eight are bilateral hearing. All 8 are LUA. I think I should just stop breeding now because I will never top this litter. I have been told that any one of these puppies would be pick of a lot of other litters.

When we got to the Vet for the hearing test we had to wait about an hour after our appointment because Dr. Gardner was doing an emergency surgery. She is an amazing Veterinarian.  It is an hour drive to the Vet so the puppies were already in the crate for an hour when we got there. Before we got there we stopped at a grassy area to let the puppies go potty as we didn't really want to put them down in the grass at the Vet's in case a sick dog may have been in that grass. They all did their business because they didn't want to soil the crate.


I am laying on my blanket you gave me Mom and Dad. I can't wait till tomorrow!
Love Gracie (formerly known as Mayflower)

This is the last time all 8 of them will be together as they are starting to go to their new homes tomorrow.
