June 30, 2007
Time sure flies when you're having fun! The long weekend brought many adventures!
All 7 puppies snoozing soundly and not aware of what they are in for!!!
I thought it would be nice to get them sitting nicely on the flower bed wall in front of the Yucca's, ya right!
After many attempts, this was the best shot out of the bunch!
The neighbourhood boys and a puppy each!
This whole attempt at getting a group shot was because our first puppy is leaving today   It is always a bittersweet moment! Great to see wonderful families getting our puppies, but sad to see them go. Miss Patty (Pink) was the first one to leave the 'nest'! Her eye has healed up quite nicely and hopefully, she won't have to have any more eye surgery. Hopefully, we caught it in time to make the tacking sutures do the trick! She went to a great family that will care for her and love her and do everything necessary to make her eye as good as new!
Miss Patty after her bath waiting for her new family to come. A little staining still around her eye, but other than that, it looks totally normal!
Thank you to the McManus family of St. Thomas for letting this sweet girl into your hearts!
The next one to leave was Miss Yellow (Maid Marion - after her Grandfather Mario) on Sunday morning (July 1st). She went to the breeder that I got Bailey from. They were very excited to get their new girl and to carry on the lines in their breeding program! Sorry, didn't get a photo. We were up at the crack of dawn to meet them in Newmarket for 9:00am. Thanks Carol and Randy for meeting me that early (4 hour drive for them) and for staying and chatting with me to pass the time while I waited to pick up Mitchell! I got back home to find droves of people stopping by while walking or even driving to see the puppies out in the yard and Jeff said there had been a steady stream all day. They sure got lots of attention this past weekend!

The first of the week passed by uneventful and not so many visitors! The next puppies to leave were Jack (Red) and Rosie (Purple). The fun begins with bathing! Then on to the drying and fluffing and then playtime up in the kitchen!
Jack (red) playing in the dirt just before his bath!

Mr Jack (Red) after his bath - guess we tuckered him out!
Rosie and Jack waiting for their families to come!
The Lancaster family meeting Jack for the first time!
The Todoroff family meeting Rosie for the first time!
These 2 puppies are going to grow up together. The Lancasters and Todoroffs are in-laws and spend lots of time together in their homes in Toronto. They had littermates from another breeder that passed away within a week of each other just weeks before our puppies were born. They had contacted me about 2 years ago and wanted to get on the waiting list for our 2007 litters. Wow, the timing of this litter was perfect and I am honoured that they chose us to help fill the void in their lives!! Thanks for giving our puppies such great homes and I can't wait to hear about their new adventures in Toronto and at the cottage!
Jack and Rosie and their new families heading for their cottage in the Minden area!
And then there were 3!
Miss Rainbow, Mr Blue and Miss Green still here waiting to go to their new homes!
3 dirty puppies - I'm sure I could bath them every day, but that wouldn't be much fun for any of us. So they will get their turn in the tub when they go to their respective homes.

Little Miss Saucey!!! (Sophie) - she is actually saucing me off and yipping at me for taking even more photos!

Another 2 puppies leaving today! Wow, it has been kind of nice that they are leaving at a staggered pace. It is tough when they all leave at once. Tough because it is a lot of work to get a whole litter ready to leave over the span of 2 days, but nice to have them gone (sort of) to ease the workload so that life can get back to somewhat normal. This has been nice though I have to admit so that we don't suffer from "empty nest syndrome" so quickly. It took about 2 weeks for all the puppies to go to their new homes due to holidays, etc. but it was great to spend more one-on-one time with the individual puppies. We had so much fun that most of the time, I forgot to take pictures of our adventures!
Anyway, on with the photos of the next few puppies leaving!
