So, time has flown and two pups left today and one more goes tomorrow! How did that happen so fast!

Of course, there is some prep work before they leave--a little trim, the nails clipped and the BATH!

Here are the two families with their pups--the boy with Frosty is 11 and has wanted a pup since he was a very small child--he was one happy kid!…

The puppies are now getting their teeth and eating three times a day! Lyric is enjoying some time to…

We had a relaxed feeding session last night--Lyric is not usually one to dawdle and leaves the whelping room when the pups are fed--but I sat in there with her last night and there was a sweet half hour of eating and cuddle time before the pups nodded off-she is a much more relaxed momma this time around --got some cute pics....…
