It's Time to Connect

We got the call that both Willow and Leti were prime so Nathan bred Leti to Stone before departure.

Tied at 1:10 and ended at 130pm

I will attempt to breed her tomorrow or Nathan will when he returns but this window is accurate. 

Leti and Willow may have pups the same day.

Leti Gal!

Leti is a wonderful mom. She is a loving dog who has a very strong connection to her pups but was willing to share one with Raven. It speaks volumes about her.

 This was Leti as a pup. She is adventurous, independent and loves deeply. Her pups are wonderful. This is her last litter. 

Leti's coat goes dark and light all her life. She is a wonderful dog.

We will be breeding her to Stone.

Stone is an amazing dog. He is very even tempered even when there are girls in heat. He loves, loves the pups and will be found playing with them always.

We look forward to the fun of Leti pups. Then it will be her daughter's turn - Spirit. Leti can then be grandma!

Bailey's New Family

This is the last puppy to depart until January when Nava leaves. It is such a grand experience. She is such a lovee and I will miss her spirit.

Here is the gallery of the new family.

The pups are now a tad confused about the departures but I imagine by tonight they will have adjusted to the trio designation.

Here is the gallery before Bailey departed.

Nathan will be looking into classes and we will be sending you the info in the next couple of days.

Raven feels as if this one is hers too. I get that!

Any photos sent, I will post. But we will be continuing to update you on the Cinnamon blog as we have 2 Cinnamons and one Leti's. Hope you do not mind. I may add Tempest to the Leti blog but I haven't decided. I need to reduce my workload.

Bailey's Bath Before Departing

She's a real character as you will see in her bath gallery.

Playing with her is the key to her enjoying the experience. We had fun!

She made me laugh throughout the entire experience. She will be the 2nd to go and although she is a Leti pup, Raven mothered her. Such changes for the moms. Hopefully all 3 will take care of the 3 staying - then the 2 staying. It is harder on the moms when they stick around but then end up going.

Lots of changes. This will be the last to go till January 10th. then on January 11th we will be down to a Cinnamon and Leti pup till next time.

But you can follow along with the 2 remaining to see their milestones and share your own.

It has been an absolutely wonderful ride with the 14. We will miss them!

Abby's New Family

Susan has her hands full. It's a fun hands full time.

Here is the gallery of her new family.

It's quite nice that she has a live in pal and she may think Abby is a gremlin at first, it will all unfold.

Here is the gallery before departure.

I have 2 more pups to wash and 2 dogs to do full grooms on so I will be getting the videos up soon. Multi-tasking is my name.

Abby's Last Bath

Abby (Abigail)  is a special name to me as many of our dogs are descendants of Miss Abs - Abigail. I guess we have been around over 15 years that even our names are used and it is rather nice.

Here are Abby's bath photos.

She was a wriggle worm on the table but did great for it all.

She will be the 2nd one to go tomorrow and she gets to live with another havvie. How lucky is that?

By Saturday night all will have departed but 3. 2 will remain and 1 is hanging around and being boarded till early January.

We will be getting our 2nd shots and signing up for classes. Nathan will send out a note on what class we will be joining with our 2. That means I will be on the lead too not being able to snap photos.

Benny's New Family

Their excitement was so infectious. Here is to your forever journey.

Here is the gallery from the family.

Nine remain now till the 26th when 2 more depart.

Here is the gallery of the crew before Benny departed.

I had to groom dogs that were departing today. Sorry I was late on this one. Then after blogging I need to comb out everyone else. Then sleep. LOL

Be sure to check out the videos. It's an exciting time when pups are going home for the families. It is quite nice to see.
