What is Coming Up?

Here is the gallery.

Let's see, on Friday at 9am, the vet is coming to our home to do the checkups, microchips and shot. We are using our local vet as our repro is out of town. We want them to stay on schedule so they can get into class in a timely manner. I know due to our repro vet and where she was, we failed on the last ones. 

As pups sometimes get sore or loose bowels due of the stress of the microchip insertion hurting, we have the puppy visit coming up on Sunday to give them time to recover, if necessary. That means on Thursday I am doing individual baths and photos. Each pup takes 15 minutes each and depending on photos, it can be a bit more. We shall see how it goes. I have a new idea on placing each pup on a couch to take a photo so I can have handless photos to use for blankets, totes, tags etc

The 1st pup departs on the 15th. So, if you have not booked your pickup, please let Nathan know. 

Pups had a great time today. I squeaked toys to guage their reaction - none. We will continue to test them with sounds. I did have storms on the tv very loud and no reaction but if I say puppy puppy they come running. To be fair, I have been putting on storm signs for quite sometime and its just noise. The 1st time they did scatter but recovered fast.

We have had play sessions without Hope and Rain on purpose in the morning when I take videos and they head up with Dennis so all 9 will play later in the day. This way you can watch videos to see what pups you are interested in. I am trying to make your picks easier. lol

It is going to be lonely without the pups, I must admit. Less work but I am going to miss them. Hope that some come to visit especially when the pool is open so we can take them swimming.

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget about the shorts.

Hi Darlah- as previously mentioned, love your character assessments. I went back and read your character summaries of the pups. Everyone was covered except the ‘large’ sable girl. You covered off the tri, BW girl, the brindle boy, the two ‘small’ sables, and the ‘large’ sable boy.
Would love hear your take the sable girl character.
Thanks in advance!
