Saffron's Exposures

Stairs of course - up, down no problem. Ms. Agile! She has never let anything stop her. Just love that spirit she has - the way she says I can, I can!

Pups had visitors - well they didn't come to see them but it was a bonus. We had Fenton's family come. They were on our list first and another family that was on our waiting list and both would have been happy with Fenton but they are now waiting for an Adele or Jeannie pups. They will be happy with an Adele or Jeannie pup. They make great pups. It's just hard to wait a a few months till you can bring him/her home. Just before Christmas they will have their 6 week visit and the excitement begins, if not before.

But while they were here they got to play with Saffron pups and I managed to capture a very small part of it. See the video.  Plus here is a mini gallery.

I was going to wash the crew but they are not truly dirty. Plus I have a back that is not happy today. I figure it is best to wash before they have visitors. Then this crew will start departing from the 5th November on. So 2 weeks from now they will head to their forever homes and most likely we will have new just born pups. 

Time went by too fast on this crew. They are all special but this is Safi's surprise present to us and well it was a magical journey of awe. What was it day 2 you had a pup crawl over her. One has to laugh. 

Tomorrow they head out to the vets. We will take Amelia as she is due for her 2nd shots. They will have a complete check up. They will get their microchip and first shots. We will find out how much they weigh. Then on Friday we are back to the vets for xrays for the moms. Got to laugh. On the 29th we head off to a dog show in Lindsay and I get to have my scissors sharpened and see a lot of people I know before the hard work and no sleep begins. Think we earned a day out. Our daughter and son will be taking care of things at home.

Updates tomorrow won't be till late as we are not at the vets till mid afternoon. It takes an hour and 15 minutes each way. Then I have to create the galleries and videos. Be patient. It will get done.

Here are a couple of videos.

Are all of Saffron's pups spoken for ? They are a very pretty litter.

Delightful puppies with glowing eyes. Loved the videos, thank you so much.

These are adorable puppies. I can't believe the way one pup slept through the afternoon rough housing of the other 3. Am I missing one? Loved watching them interact.

WE are holding on to one Saffron pup but we are just in the thinking stage. If not, we have 1 available. Safi cries when her babies gets hurt - literally cries. Maybe one hanging around will help her make the transition.

Ronnie: Yes we have 5 Safi pups. They are off to the vets today. Going to be a long day.

I know you will have to see how Saffie reacts once her pups start going to their new homes.
Sad to hear she actually cries when she thinks one of her pups are hurt.
She is such a great Mom. Maybe she watched some of your other great moms.

Kathy: Think she is attached to her pups. Saffron has really blossomed with them.
