Very Busy Day

We had Bailey here for a groom and play session. She is Tempest's sister - Leti baby that Raven took care of. Both moms were delighted to see her. She's a small dog.

Here is the gallery.

Nathan arrived home this afternoon and then ran to the vets for progesterone. Leti and Willow are on the cusp. Ella is at 0. So, we test Leti and Willow on Saturday morning again. This is becoming an expensive venture. See what I mean. Why test Leti if we are breeding to Stone? Well this is funny. I wanted to breed Leti for her last time and retire her. Nathan wanted to breed Ella her last time and retire her. I said let's do progesterone and see who is prime. Well, no one was but only Leti and Willow are close. Ella may be having a split heat. We will throw money to the wind and know when all is due and when to breed. Gee why not! So - stay tuned.

By the way Cinnamon is in heat but we are NOT having 4 litters. Not a chance in hey...well hell!

I want you to know having Bailey here was a delight! Tchibo - wonderful - he departs tonight and well Ollie - love that dog - a Stormy dog.

I told Dennis to take more photos of Charlie. I am in a rush and just put the gallery up not looking at photos - dangerous perhaps but it is what it is. Rocky was also here - a dream dog! Well, aren't they all?

Now we have class to go too. Oh my - shoot me now. Tomorrow Dennis is off. I get to take photos. Let me know if you can tell the difference. Dennis is getting better all the time!

So you may still breed Ella you think, or no? PS...I think Dennis is doing great with the photos!

I love the family photos - it makes me delighted to see Bailey so happy 💕 Bailey obviously had a wonderful time! She is all tuckered out now from all the playing. And she is absolutely beautiful with her haircut. Thank you for everything, Nathan & Darlah!

Looks like an exciting Spring, with that you will have the visit of Spicy and Cooper LOL!

I agree with Michele, Dennis takes wonderful photos.

Anne: I am so looking forward to it.

Pippa: She is such a fun dog too. We saw Leti's Coco in class tonight - the chocolate and she is small, spirited and a beauty too. I just love Leti's pups.

Michelle: I can't breed her with her progesterone at 0. It has to be 10 in an LH surge. Willow and Leti are sitting both at 7. It is why we are retesting on Saturday. I asked the vet if she can give us a group rate and she gave us 16. off x 3, Tests are 169 each. Saturday's test will be more expensive as the lab charges more on a weekend but if we wait till Monday we can miss peak.

You will have lots of choices with small. I do want to breed Ella 1 more time but her body had something else in mind. Split heats are so very difficult to deal with. It's a lot of money on progesterone tests.

Christine:

Yes crazy but warm weather and swimming pups. Now that will be fun!

February 20, 2020 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Darlah, thank you for making Tchibo so fluffy, clean and beautiful. We were so happy to get him back though. House is not the same without a puppy. He is already on my lap as I type. Hope you are getting some rest after this busy day as well. We are looking forward to seeing pups.

Are you talking about taking more pics of my Charlie, sometimes you have a few Charlies? And of course, who wouldn't want to see more pics of their doggie :) I miss Charlie very much!

February 20, 2020 | Unregistered CommenterJodi

Jodi hope you had more charlies today. Someone else asked about their dog. I am taking photos of that particular dog today. Sometimes we miss capturing not intentional. We try. Its not a service we offer. Its an added bonus. We get it. We try to offer a glimpse what they do but we do not carry a camera around with us 24/7.
