This is the time as a breeder that I both love and hate. It is time for the puppies to start leaving the nest. I won't miss all of the piles of laundry, all of the messes, all of the very early mornings and so on, but I will miss their sweet faces and puppy kisses and their crazy antics. Two have flown the nest and Eve is scheduled to head home with Chris later today.
Otto, now known as Flash was the first to leave. I typically take a photo of each new family but somehow missed Dave and Mellissa. Dave was kind enough to send me a picture they snapped from home. What a wonderful life this handsome puppy will have with all of his many furry siblings. Dave has so many plans for him. I can't wait to see what all these two accomplish.
The next to leave was Bonnie who will be called Kimber. Elaine and Paris came for her but she will be joining other family members too, as well as their Dalmatian boy Brady. Paris has done a wonderful job showing Brady in conformation; he just needs one more major for his championship. Kimber will follow in his footsteps in the ring. I wish them much luck and can't wait to sit ring side and cheer them on.
So tonight Eve leaves, tomorrow Jewel will finally meet her family and Sparrow will head north with her family too. Saturday Eiven and Atz Lee will spread their wings and fly off on their new adventures. Nikos and Findlay will remain another week to keep Charlotte company. Speaking of Charlotte, I think she finally has a new name. We have decided to use a name that Holly suggested. She is being named for an award winning deaf actress, Marlee Maitlin. Marlee has not let her deafness stop her from accomplishing great things in her life and that is what we want for our Marlee too. So here is our little Marlee as she wears her swim vest and experiences bubbles for the first time.
I placed the crate back in the play yard yesterday, I had taken it out for the car ride to the hearing tests. They all tried to squeeze in it for a nap but some didn't fit.
