Title: Changes, etc
Once again, I'm having trouble posting on the blog. This is the reason I love  google so much!

Emy is over it! She has not been in with the pups since Saturday. She doesn't even go in their room. And The Nine don't seem to miss her... at least they are not yelling for her in the mornings or before bedtime. They don't even yell when they know she is right outside their door. Now, in another week or so, Em's going to go back. Her relationship with the pups is forever changed BUT it is a different one than they will have with the other dogs. She is still their mom... just no longer mommy.

Peri is conflicted. She wants to be with Esther all the time BUT once again, she wants to stay close to me. When I leave the room, she whines for at least a half hour. And if I take Esther away with me, she whines as long as she's gone. It's tough being a first time mother.

Coming soon
In the next few days I'll send out the first of a couple LONG emails with information you'll need for taking care of your puppy after you take it home. The first one is sort of a shopping list. Others have to do with health issues and caring for the pup.

Esther and one of her cousins

Peri and Esther Pix

Took these yesterday when I found Esther asleep in front of the crate. Obviously, her mom was none too pleased.

If you compare the photos with the ones taken a week ago, it's easy to see how much she has grown.

Emy trivia
People getting pups from the current Emy/Boon litter include 2 Karens, 2 Kennedys and 3 from New York. And now, a second Marcy is thinking it over.

Triple Crown trivia
Eleven horses have won the Triple Crown and since the last one in '78, another 11 horses have won both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Soooo, if I'll Have Another hits the finish line first in Belmont 2012, he'll be the 12th horse to try and the 12th horse to do it.
And in the "do I know my stuff or what department," Bob Baffert announced he is not taking Bodemeister to the Belmont about the same time Team Valor, Went the Day Well's people, made the same announcement. Baffert is going to run Paynter who he originally thought was better than Bodemeister while Michael Matz who trains Teeth of the Dog AND Union Rags is sending Rags but keeping Dog home.
