Not My Turn

Heads together - not my turn yet. As we had 2 departures today, I did not do a separate gallery. You will have to look at the ones on Sage's page to get an idea of what the trio was up to.

In this crew the 1st one does not depart till the 4th to the 6th.

Dennis just brought them in and they are wildly playing. Hmmm did they play long enough? Hmm it seems they are quieting down.

Late 

Sorry I am so late on the blogs. It's been a day. It should have been a swimming day but it was a groom and getting ready for pups departing day. Still at it.

Be sure to check out the videos.

The pups are actually outside for their last play session before bed.

Here is a gallery.

This is their last full day as 7.

Before Hot Heat

Here is the gallery.

You will see Ellie playing with them. It was warm but not oppressive. But now it is still very hot so Dennis has them upstairs playing.

We usually like 2 to go home the last date as it is more difficult if one is remaining for days after. The transition is more difficult - doable but easier when 2 last ones go on the same day. Over the years we have figured this out but we have done it both ways for a variety of reasons. 

Here is what I have so far:

Sage cream and Sable July 1st

Sage tri black July 1

Sage Brindle July 2

Sage black and white July 3

Spirit Brown Gal July 4th

Spirit Boy July 4th

Spirit Littlest July 6th

Afternoon Sunday Visit

The pups lasted longer in the afternoon and then they were done.

Here is the gallery.

It was mighty hot when the sun was out and then it was windy and cooled then hot again.

The pups had fun. I hope the humans did as well.

Soon you will know who your puppy is and the journey will begin.

What an amazing crew this 2 crew has been.
