THREE MAY BE THE CHARM...

The morning started out with four puppies. Three were girls and only Mimi was left of the boys. It was a mild mornng and Dad put them all in the wagon to take them outside. They were definitely missing their brothers and sisters but were determined to make the best of it all. And they really all wanted Mum. Blueberry loves to sit on top of toys and watch Mum work around the pen. But it was time for Mini to have his bath and get ready for his new family. He was such a good boy. Went right into the pen and played and napped. His family came and played with him and spent time with the other puppies and even went into Mum's vegetable garden! His name is now "Captain" and he has his very own little boy! I thinkCaptain and the little boy are very lucky people indeed! So now there are three of my great granddaughters left in the pen. I have been here many times before. The house is never the same when they leave. Not for a long time. Mum and Dad cut the grass and Mum tacked the ...

The house was a little bit subdued  as two of the puppies left us. Dusty went into the pen when the muffins went outside in the morning, just to comfort them. Izzy seemed a little sad that the puppies were leaving. But we all have been through it before. Mum took Oats inside and he has Souris face for sure! He was bathed and dried and fitted with his collar. Mum bathed Raisin next. And then big boy Chip. Oats was the first to go. His name will be George Washington (of Syosset. Mum started calling him "Georgie" So Chip and Raisin napped in their pen while the others were still outside. Then it was Raisin's turn to leave with his new family. His Name is Theo (Of  Windsor Wood) He was a very good boy and Mum was teary eyed with each puppy that went away. Chip joined the other muffins for one last lunch before his new Mum and sister came along. I think he knew it was his turn. When Dad brought him back inside, he fell asleep. His Mum was so happy to see him and could not beli...

THE FIRST OF THE LASTS

All the muffins were together one last time. They played with mother Dusty. And Mum and Dad get everything ready for the muffins to go on to their new lives. The muffins had one last wagon ride together. And they all wanted to be picked up and fussed. Dusty demanded to go into their pen and none of them tried to nurse. Dusty played with her muffins for a very long time. I think she knew they were ready to get on with their lives... And in the morning they had  one last meal together. And one last play all together. Then Mum took Brandi- who is now known as Murphy, and he had his first bath in the kitchen sink. He got his new collar andwaited. I remember this family. Mia's brother went with them when he was my puppy  and Mum said my brther Bodhi is with them too. What a family! <3 Mum was teary eyed like when every puppy goes away from us but so many families are now our families too. Mum took Apple into the sink for her bath. I think Apple knew what would happen. She donned...
