The end of an era--Lyric is scheduled for spaying

[Ginny Nightingale]

Yup--she is retiring!!! Yeah!!! A job well done, Lyric! So many happy families! She has 26 pups and 2 families adopted 2 each from two different litters, so 24 happy families! (Including mine--we have Rio from her first litter born 1/1/11!)

Here are all the names-Rio, Rafi, Elvis, Zeus, Nigel, Daisy, Rosie, Uchu, Euclid, Jasper, Scotty, Frodo, Cooper, Cisco, Lucy, Rudy, Rigby, Nora, Zoe, Finley, Enso, Murphy, Memphis, Viola, Pesca and Sophie--PHEW!!! I did that from memory and now my head hurts....love them ALL!!!

Here are a few highlights of the past three years:

Here is Viola--our latest breeding girl and Uchu, from Lyric's second litter, born in September of 2011. He has a new human baby sister now.

Here is Sophie (formerly Saffron) born in Feb of 2013 and her new little brother Rigby--born in November of 2013...such a cute couple!

And this is Cooper (formerly Lucky) from the Feb 2013 litter---he looks so much like momma!

This is Nigel (formerly Sugar Donut from Lyric's first litter Jan 2011!) with his new little sister, Nora, born last November. LOVE this picture! Nora is THE BOSS in this relationship!

And of course Sweetie (they call her Lucy)--our other breeding girl--a real love of a pup and so pretty!

I got to see Frodo from her February 2013 litter yesterday--he was named Frosty as a baby. Here he is! Another Lyric look-alike!

And who could forget ENSO! OUR BIG green eyed boy from September of 2011!

Oh dear--I can't add any more pictures--will have to add him to the comments section--so many cute dogs out there--thank you LYRIC!!

[Ginny Nightingale]

Tomorrow is the big day! Hope she gets thru the spay with no issues--will be glad when that is over!

There will be more puppy picutres--We have a momma coming to have her pups in just another month and she was born right here in this house--so it continues! This is what she looked like two years ago--soon she will be here having her pups!
