Diamond

Got Diamond's hair all clipped off and yes, I think she is pregnant. But no, I'm not 100% sure yet... she's only 3+ weeks... so I'm not ready to open the reservation list. She has a poochy little belly and very pink nipples. And she about tore off Emy and Cotton's heads when she got back from the groomer... a typical "I've had a rough day, leave me alone. Or else." reaction when she's pregnant and has been out of her comfort zone. Actually, she's been a little testy most of the week. But right now the 3 of them are curled up in one big pile with Brogue sleeping about a foot away. Ah, family!

That Thought Went Fast

I've already talked myself out of keeping one of Kate's boys. I'm supposed to be cutting down on numbers, not adding. That means no more rescues and no more puppies staying. So there are TWO "wheaten red" boys available from Kate and Luke's litter.

And if you are wondering how that happened... Marna has decided she is just not ready for a puppy. She is hoping Diamond and Brogue will get back together this Fall and she can have a sister to Dakota. (Actually, I think she feels that there are already two Cotton pups in NYC and that is enough!) Anyway, the female Marna was going to take is now going to a family who initially wanted a girl but chose a male when all the females were already spoken for. That freed up their boy.

And speaking of Diamond
Her OFA results came in... she got a "good." Am I good or what?! Isn't that what I predicted? It's not who you know but what you know about how things work. I'm not particularly unhappy (I really think it should be pass/fail like a pregnancy test) but I don't think I've seen prettier hips ever. Now I'm on pins and needles waiting for Brogue's results... NOT!
