A Different Two-fer

How about two litters?

Emy and Boon took it upon themselves to canoodle. I knew nothing about it. In fact, for the last week or so I've been looking at a very plump Emy, wondering if she had a tumor! My vet is probably still chuckling about the dogs putting one over on me. As I explained to her, all 3 girls were in season at the end of February to mid March. They all cycle within 3 weeks of each other. No one has been back in season... the girls are ALWAYS separated from the boys (I don't like surprises!) and the guys are very quick to tell me when someone is about to come in heat. Now I admit I was under the weather for most of May and June but the way the boys act, I would not have missed a heat cycle... but there is no other explanation. There were a few times I let Boon out with the girls. After all, Peri (my Di/Brogue puppy) lives with them and she and Boon are pals and it is nice for them to get together and play like puppies. Obviously, Boon was playing... with someone else... like an adult dog. Emy is now safely settled in in the whelping pen in my bedroom where she has spent the last couple days sleeping.

And Cotton is this close to being in season. She's 2-3 weeks early, but that's fine. Boon, to his great delight, gets to be daddy again. These pups will arrive mid to late October. The reservation list is open for this litter.

I'll let everyone know what I know when I know it.

Another Week, Another Update

Seems to be every 6 days that I manage to get back to the blog. Actually, there isn't a whole lot going on, so you haven't missed anything!

I'm doing well, except for exhaustion which the doc says is about 50% still throwing off the effects of the anesthesia and 50% the heat, both of which should be much improved in 6 weeks. We'll see.

The first Double Doodle pup... Shadow... is moving to Texas (to be Josh's dog) this week and the second, Bart, is leaving for his new home next Sunday. Betty is going to be hanging out here for a bit which means the only available pup is Bud-Light. IF I ever get a new computer (and photo program) I'll take more pix of him... he is going to be gorgeous!

Lucky (formerly Bud) of Jennifer's pups is also still here and has come a long way in the self confidence department. He's NO trouble, so I'm concentrating on getting the younger pups placed first.

The waiting list for the PLANNED Cotton/Boon Fall litter IS open and there are one, maybe two spots still available. Boon has made it clear HE is ready!
