Changing Times

Tia goes home tomorrow.

As I am typing she is playing with Roxie just like this.

Who else is playing? Scruffy.

They created their own game and it is a riot. They all seem to be vying for Roxie's attention as if she is either the target or the one to follow. Still watching to figure which one it is.

Paula called me to ask me to read the mating dates for Teaser and Truffie as Teaser has dropped and is acting like its in the next day or so. I am a nut when it comes to tracking such stuff. She goes in for an xray tomorrow. I am excited about these pups as they are Truffie's first. Stay tuned for the news.

Then we get to see Abigail and Truffie's pups less than 2 weeks now hopefully in-between Nathan's shows. Otherwise photos won't be as usual as I will be hands on. You will just see the after delivery ones.

Truffie is a busy and lucky boy. He has now connected with Treasure a number of times. We will get a pregnancy this time just like we had when Wasabi didn't get pregnant that one time, the next time she did allowing connections earlier not just later. This is day 6 for Treasure. She's connected on day 4 on. Usually we wait till around day 9 but you can miss the window doing so as we found out. Treasure rather loves Truffie allowing him 2 connection just this morning alone. What can I say, they are all cougers. hahahahaha

Wasabi is truly enjoying her retirement and I am glad. But she still adores her Kat. Him not so much as he can tell she smells different. What can I say? Boys....

For those asking, no Spice is not in heat but it happens when it happens. I am hoping she waits for a bit. Then we take a break and do the shows. I may even teach Nathan how to groom thoroughly. He will need to learn before Sudbury.

So, busy times coming up and all I can say it BEST snow cause there is nothing like winter puppies playing in snow.

So, if I get this straight, Teaser is Coop's mom, so Teaser and Truffie's pups would be his half sibblings???? Can't wait to see the outcome!

My goodness, Darlah! So much going on.
Scruffs really missed Roxie last night. As you know, he has a crush on her, so I think the game is that she's the one to follow ;-)
Scruffs was in a rather playful mood even this morning. He stole my sock from the hamper and was running around the bedroom with it and I swear I couldn't catch him. He's learned that if he goes under the bed, I can't get to him and when all else fails, that's what he does. It was hilarious :)
We often play that game with his stuffed toys and I chase him all around the second floor. He's really fast! Roger laughs and says, who's having more fun? You or Scruffs? I think it's pretty equal :)

Anne: Yes they would be half siblings. I can't wait either. Paula isn't great about photos like me but I am going to nag her till I get some. Nag, nag, nag... She is showing Envy and Nathan is showing Panda on the 7th, 8th and 9th in Ancaster and I have to miss it. Too close for Miss Abs. It means I also miss seeing Benji. Such timing...

Lori: I think he rather likes Roxie too. Something about how they play. Scruffs had his nails done and holding him is an experience. But they are done and then I had to brush him again cause he made himself a mess. Teach me to brush before nails. :-)

Sounds like you have a lot of fun with Scruffy and that's special!

Truffie seems to be the man! I have to say he is quite pleased with his connections. He struts with an air of confidence as the gals all like him in a big way. Kat's not happy but Truffie much like Phantom just ignores him not enjoying. Poor Kat but Kat had his Flora at our friends Yvonne and we believe she is pregnant.
