Hellos and Goodbyes

This is Pippin. He was here overnight and his biological brother Winston was also here. They both departed today.

Here is the gallery.

Scruffy and Pepper also departed and Pepper kept her bow on - all day long - can you believe?

We thank Lori and Roger for the mega soft blanket for the humans. I think the dogs think its for them and well... Dennis thanks you for the chocolate. Let's see if Dennis gains weight. LOL

Tonight Brewer departed and at the door, his canine mom Spicy came out to say goodbye as she departs tomorrow. In Spicy line fashion, Brewer gave her kisses. It was adorable. After all this time he still remembers thats his mom and she remembers him. How nice is that. These dogs are so special - indeed! Their love runs deep.

Even with all those departures, Elvis and Reggie joined us today. Both were really excited to come. 

With pups coming we bought some frozen food to tie us over as when pups come you do not have time to cook. We also bought the best vanilla ice cream. That Loblaws brand won't do. This ice cream is for the mothers as they need a calcium boost during whelping and Nathan says only the best for them. Is he going to eat the left overs? I laughed when he said they needed the good stuff. I do believe we are ready for Stormy now. Let's see how many I can groom and wash and cut before her pups debut. 

Once the pups come no one can be in this room. Only Saffron will hang out here as she doesn't finish her heat till the 14th, I believe. New moms get protective and nervous about their wee ones.

It is going to be an interesting week.

What a handsome boy is Pippin! Might Truffles be responsible for his beautiful colours?

Pippin looked great after his groom. Thank you Darlah.

Roxie is the mom and Caddie is the dad. Caddie is a red dog. Roxie has red in her line - so Ella has red in her line. Caddie lives with Paula - a friend of ours.

Karen: Thank you. He is a beauty - has Roxies nature!

Thanks, Darlah. Found a photo of Caddie among your blogs - on the winners' podium. Quite the majestic fellow! πŸ‘‘

Pippin is gorgeous. His Dad's colour and Roxie's eyes and face. Wow!

What brand of ice cream do you get? We get Kawartha's. I really enjoy ice cream and so does Rusty.

Nice that Brewer and Spicy got to say goodbye. Pippin is beautiful, lovely colour. Yummy ice cream for the mommies, sounds delicious. Do you still have some brisket left to eat?

Oh my gad swat me hugely.... forgive me. Yes we have some brisket left. Nathan is working his way through it. He gave me a small plate and he’s been coveting ever since. Thank you truly.

Yes Caddie is lighter now. He goes light and dark. He is a nice looking boy. I am happy with Stone and Truffie too. Buddy is a black and white. Will be interesting to see what he produces with Stormy.

Scruffy & Pepper absolutely love those blankets. I think it’s perfect for humans and canines to snuggle up together πŸ˜‰
Would you believe that Pepper kept her bow on ALL night?! Thanks for making her look so pretty. ❀️😊
