DOING BETTER

 Well  it is only two weeks since I last wrote. So that is good.Lots of good stuff happening around here. I am getting a new tri male pup in another week, he will be our new stud dog. I can borrow a stud for my girls but I do prefer to have my own stud. The dogs get to know each other and are just more comfortable with each other. I have lost all my seniors but one and that is Bling and she is 12 years old. She seems to be very healthy. My little Rosie had bad seizures and I had to let her go. I miss her so much. She loved to help with the puppies. I am breeding Quinn and Skye this fall and I am so ready for pups. I miss having them around, lots of work but lots of joy too. Just watching them grow and develop is exciting and amazing how nature works. Quinn has had a couple of misses but it was the stud dog, Walter had gone sterile and I did not know it until after the breeding. Then the stud dog that I borrowed was not at all interested so she did not get bred. I will be breeding her to my stud Charlie who I co own with my friend Harriet. We should have pups and I will have to borrow a stud for Skye. Once my new boy is grown up and is the dog that I hope he will be I will be all set here. There are two boys that I will choose from and from pictures I am torn. Once seeing them I will know.

Zoe will have someone close to her age to play with, although Skye plays with her all the time. Skye is so good to her and gentle. I think that she will be a good mother.I am so glad that the heat and humidity are gone. This cool air makes it easy to be productive  and I can get things done that I have been putting off. I am finally enlarging my dog yard. The dogs will have so much more running room and I will be able to play ball with them and they love that. I can't let the dogs out unless on a leash or in the fenced yard. My road is a cut through to rte 109 and the cars and trucks just fly down the road. A dog or a child would not have a chance with the speed these guys are going. So I can't chance it. 

Another week I will have the new boy and I will post pictures here.Zoe will love having a pup more her size to play with.She is doing well with house training so it won't be like starting two young pups together. 

When Quinn and Skye are bred this fall we should have pups born in February and ready to go in April. I know it is a long way off but time sure seems to be flying.Seems like August just started and now it is half gone.

Enjoy the last of the summer and be safe!
