Another Connection

After missing yesterday entirely, they had another connection today. 948am to 10:01. New males that breed are usually finicky with eating. Dante eats like he is starving!

No Connection

She is no longer crying for him. We will try again later. We will see if she is done. It only takes 1 time at the right time.

Second Connection

521pm to 529pm for an 8 minute tie. She cries for him. She tells him when and this morning she teased and teased him and decided no - I don't think so. Made me a bit nervous but tonight he connected. Poor Nathan on his day off.

Connection

Dante had a tie with Sage today that lasted 5 minutes. Dante is from Leti's lines. They were both thrilled. 

After he is done breeding and I give him a bath, I will try to get a photo of them together.

Dante is a chocolate sable.

Nicky's New Family

Here is the gallery.

Well the last departs and the last remains. Does that make sense? Nicky has made her way home and Chai is now taking a nap with Nathan, Misty and Sage. 

Nicky will start her journey and Chai will start hers. Chai will have a huge change, of sorts as she has to get acquainted with visitors and adults. The xpen is down and awaiting Dennis to put it away till we need it again.

Nicky is a dolly and we have already heard she whimpered a little then settled in on her back. She is now home.

Videos are up including Sage playing with Chai and all the before play before Nicky departed.

Misty's blog will no longer be updated unless I get a photo or two with an update, Otherwise, I am sure they are adjusting and doing well. We do know King Kong is already playing with his partner in crime, Panda!

Nicky's Last Bath: 2 Blog Day

Here is her bath gallery!

Oh my gad is she adorable! She was great in the tub, under the dryer, being hung up - all of it! I can't believe she is departing tomorrow and then only Chai will remain. 

King Kong is departing this evening so Misty's blog will be updated late. 

The crew is very quiet. They are playing. They are not eating a great deal. With changes, this is normal and they will not get sick if they do not eat all their meal. They will when they adapt to the changes.

Be sure to check out the videos. More will be up tonight after King Kong departs.

Chai Had a Bath Too: 2 Blog Day

Here is her bath gallery.

She will be remaining and you will be able to follow her journey. With her personality, it is bound to be an interesting journey. 

She was great in bath, dryers etc. I left out wet bath photos in air poses as I didn't think you cared about hers. 

We will see how she does on her journey as the days and months pass.

This bunch has been quite remarkable. I miss them already. 

Anyhow, they are sleeping deeply now - didn't have much lunch. It happens. They will again eat at dinner. 

Soon they wil
