Oh Boy
I got to spend time with the pups today. Was I excited - YEP.,
We are short blogging it as I have to set up a whelping box and get bags ready. Tomorrow Tiger gets a bath.
Hope I am not juggling but time will tell.
Unfortunately starting in the New Year, our costs will go up. Please contact nathan for updated costs.

Yvonne's place is NEXT DOOR to her old place. I will try to put a havanese flag out front. Hope you can join us. Directions are here. The house # is 25. There is no picnic in 2020 due to COVID but hopefully in 2021. Stay Tuned!

Check out the videos. Nathan took 1, Dennis a few. Me, none. I so tried to find time but couldn't today.
Pups always manage to have fun!
Pups always have a blast as I am sure you can see. When we are down to 2 pups, we are going to let them play in the general population. We shall see how that goes.
Pups have had 3 play sessions and we are waiting to do a 4th. We always do one before bed as they sleep that way. Last night, I checked in them many times and they were all sleeping.
Pups were outside today. Check out the videos.
They loved the snow and lasted longer but as soon as paws were up and they started shaking, upstairs we went.
Sorry short blog today.
They really like this toy and you could make it too if you are handy or have someone you know was handy. This is a great toy to add treats to and it will keep them preoccupied. Mine needs fixing especially once the new litters come. It needs two plastic bottles to drill and a new dowel but it has held up for many years. It is one of the most interactive toys that even adults love.
The pups welcomed the New Year with enthusiasm. Soon they will be making your home their home. You will be able to follow Kinsey and hopefully we will see you from time to time and they can come visit mom and Kinsey. It will be a fun journey and we will be here for you!
Pups are up playing as I type. Me, I need to get blankets designed.
Till tomorrow!
The pups had a really fun time as they seem to do so daily. They jump, they climb. They simply have fun. I watch them with awe as they live for the play, the food and the nap.
I am going to miss them madly but can't wait to hear about their adventures.
Here are their names in order of birth:
Ollie (Misty has an Ollie too)
Beau
Tiger
Oakley
The pups are so full of life. Check out the videos.
I look at them now as a proud parent. It is with such pride that I watch them from birth to now. How far they come in such a short period of time.
I know it is a long time for you but me it goes by too fast.
They are really delightful pups filled with such a true spirit. Each one of you are going to fall deeply and madly in love with yours. You can't help not to. What a special crew... What a way to start 2022 with one of the 11.
Sage's go home the 7th, 2 on 8th and last on 9th.
Thank you! Got a full day of grooming but I can now start getting it all done by departure.
Okay I must do another dog before departure and I am supposed to start in 3 minutes.
Everyone had a blast.
Pups are about to go out again. The runs are amazing. We do this with the adults too. It is a great way to expel their energy and just plain fun. You never chase them. The game is they chase you.
Sorry people - we are still working on the selection. In some ways a good experience - other ways highly stress-filled. Not the usual but our goal is the right fit - not looks - not what you see in 2 hours of a visit but what we see day in and day out. No losers here. folks - none what so ever. Some are just more high energy than others and sometimes you do not see it as they are tired or what have you.
I have also resigned myself that I will simply not be able to do all the personalized things I had in mind. Sorry... but I will do what I can and not to what I can't.
Not a soul was sore - bravo little ones.
Pups have been enjoying the runs in the hall. Sage's brown boy laid in my arms and snuggled right into today after a play session. It was a delicious moment. I think he knew I needed it. How intuitive he is.
Every single puppy, when you open the gate, jumps out and runs into teh hall. It is a riot.
