Sugar's turn

We no longer got cleaned up after the farewell of Pippin when Sugar went in to labor about 10:30ish on the 25th.  First baby was born at 12:30 and the rest followed until about 3:30.  3 boys and 3 girls.  I am feeling more confidant about the whole process.  I wasn't ready because Sugar was 2 days early.  I am ecstatic about there being 6 babies.

They all look so similar that i can't name them yet.  Sugar is a trooper.  She has them clean and she guards them with peace.  Maternal pride and instinct is so interesting

the last one to go

These happy excited kids took Pippin to their home in Spokane.  Pippin was the last of Coco's litter to be rehomed.  I got to know him because he stayed with us for 10 weeks and was Taffy's buddy.  Feel the loss.  He will be loved and cared for.

A long tale

Little Boy was the last and most in demand puppy to go.  He sold on Aug13 to a family from Airdrie. 
That day I had about 10 emails and phone calls for this pup.  The first couple, Ty and TIng were coming at 6:30 to buy him.  They wanted a white , male puppy born on June 14. (Ty's B-Day).  So they got our address and headed out.  They never did find#22 Hiway, so kept going to Morley, almost to Canmore.  Coming back, they finally got to Sunset Ridge, went to 265 Sunset Circle and waited there hoping the residents would soon come home.  Meanwhile I had to allow #2 on the waiting list to come and see the puppy and they bought it outright.  $700 in 20's.

Mother's comfort

Today I accidentally dropped Little Guy.  Coco was right there to comfort him

Dog goners

This past week  I sold Rummy and Chai to the Keller family.  Then Deb and Kaytie came for a visit and claimed Eclaire.  I am feeling the loss of my precious babies.  That leaves savory.
