Two Things

First, it is race week here and as usual, I am totally unprepared and put off by the increase in traffic. You city folk, even those from smaller urban areas, would probably be amused by what I consider an increase in traffic. BUT whenever I reach the stop sign at the end of our private road (which gets no traffic as in NO traffic) and have to wait for more than one car before I can pull out onto the paved road, I wonder where all the traffic is coming from. And this is only Wednesday... note to self: Survivor is on TONIGHT, not Thursday.... it will be ever so much worse tomorrow and then the weekend (when I stay home period.) Usually by Tuesday, things are pretty much back to normal. How they get all those people out of the area in such a short time is amazing to me, especially as accidents seem to be minimal.

Second, the waiting list is open again. I'll be changing the website to reflect that and to update breeding status of all the girls, but here it is for those of you who check here first:
Di and Emy are in season (actually, almost out) and have successfully been "skipped." That's not always the easiest thing to do, but Brogue is getting older and I separated him from them BEFORE he realized what was going on. Then, Cotton came in... she's always the last one... and I immediately put her in with Brogue which made him very happy and kept his mind off the girls who were out of sight but still smelled very, very enticing. He has covered Cotton twice already (probably more because he wanted the others but she was the only one available than because she was ready,) so.... As soon as I know for sure that she is pregnant (in 6-7 weeks,) I'll open the reservation list for their pups.

Emy's Reservation List OPEN

The reservation list for Emy's litter is open as of today. There are 4 spots available... two specifically for female pups and 2 that are male-specific or open (either/or.) Getting on the reservation list is a firm commitment to a puppy from THAT litter. If you have not gone through my screening yet, NOW is the time to act if you want to take advantage of the reservation list (which gives you an early pick and lower price since picks are made in the order deposits are received AND the reservation list is a flat price for pup regardless of color, markings, size, etc.)

Cotton's Reservation List
I don't think I'm giving anything away... since I've already told folks on the waiting list... Cotton's list will open at the end of the week. I'll post the exact date in a couple days. I know a number of people are waiting for this one.

Waiting List in General
There ARE a couple families on the Waiting List who want a puppy NEXT year... which basically means early Summer 2011 since it will be at least 6 months before we do this again (and then it will be with just ONE of the girls...) or some other time in the future. However, if your interest is in these 3 current litters, getting on the WAITING list now will not benefit you.
