I know what you mean about the claws, its worse in a morning when they are jumping up my legs!! They are okay with breakfast again. Good to hear you are getting some enquiries, one of my puppies went this afternoon to a lovely couple who have just had to have theirs put down.
That's good about the 2 puppies. How many do you still have to find homes for? It's a worry isn't it about the homes that they go to. My puppies have discovered the joys of pulling the washing off the line. Bless them!
I'm lucky that my kitchen is laminated, my English Setter is incontinent anyway after being spayed two years ago, so they can't do any damage that way! I like having them around the house, its going to be really hard when these last two go, I'm getting very attached!!
They were all even sized, although two of the boys grew bigger as they got older. They are 11 weeks old today! It seems as though they are a lot older.
I had to take little spice the vets yesterday he had been suffering over a tooth that was pushing its way out of the gum. Id not noticed this problem before last week and feel awful he should have suffered toothache for a while. anyhow now its out and his teeth have been cleaned hes perked up.
Hi Sandra,
I like the show names you chose, they could even be used as everyday names; they're great. Hope your last little puppy will also find a loving home. Not long before they will all leave now? You'll have a very quiet house then!
Hi Sandra, one bitch puppy left today so there's just my little man to find a home for. We have decided to call the puppy that we are keeping Molly. Are you going to the Leed Ch show in July?
They destroyed my new garden chair yesterday, I'm sure it was their mum that lead the way!! I'm still finding foam all over the garden. Little girl was sick in the car this morning, I let her sit in the front and it all went down my handbrake lever and electric window switches, lovely!!! It seems that mum has reverted back to her puppy ways. I just take it all in my stride now, so used to it!!!!
Hi Sandra
I've got persian cats that are always getting the runs. I use Probiotic Plus from Hyperdrug.co.uk, you just put it on their food and in their water, its very good and far cheaper that going to the vets. You can get in a paste too but the cats won't let me give them that. I know what you mean about the puppy mess, I loved them being here but glad they've gone to their new homes, why do they always trample through it!! :)
Hi Sandra,
Had a very busy few weeks,both cars broke down and a litter of 11 pups in the space of 14 days!!
Haven't had time to think lately.
Just starting to supplement pups feeding,so life will be even more hectic!!
Then to top all this off my 6 month old pup "Kat" was unwell last Sunday,so emergency trip to vet. She had some how stolen one of my socks and eaten it!!
Had to have surgery to remove it as it had blocked her bowel.
All well now and hopefully things will settle down so I can think??
Your pups are gorgeous.You have the hard part now of parting with them.

Hi Sandra,
Sorry don't seem to have time to get online at the moment.??
Pups are all doing fantastic. Can't say the same for myself!!
I am exausted!! They are up and about at 5 am every morning wanting brekky.They were 4 weeks on Saturday.Very even litter and looking very nice .The girls are all spoken for and 3 of the boys.So 4 boys to go.
Everyone seems to want girls at the moment!!
Are all your puppies spoken for??
Had worming and toe nail trimming and filing yesterday,a lot of little toenails in there.
They are racing around my legs and feet as I sit here typing.
It has been freezing cold here.We had snow last Monday that settled on the ground!! Have had to have heating on 24 hours a day for the past 4 weeks to keep my babies warm yesterday was the first time I was able to turn it off for a few hours.
It is going to be difficult to get the pups out into the fresh air with the cold winds we are having.
Clean up time so will get moving.
Warm regards Marie
Hi Sandra,
A lot of my puppies go interstate.So only get to see them if I travel.
I catch up with most that are in Victoria.
We have a couple of fun days each year and I invite all my owners to come along.As you know trying to get everyone in the same place at the same time is difficult.
I do keep in contact via email or phone though.
I am looking after one of my girls I bred for 7 weeks while her Mum and Dad are overseas.(She is 9 years old) I try to keep in contact with as many as possible.
I have left myself the option of keeping a girl.
Has to be a stunner though!!
As I kept 3 from my last litter and they are only 7 months old.
It's the time needed to put into another puppy at this stage!!
My 3 keep me pretty much on my toes.
Will make the choice at 8 weeks to keep one or not.
Hi Sandra,
It's a shame it's already time for them to go but I'm sure all the new owners are really looking forward to welcoming them into their homes. Hope they're all going to do well and that you won't lose touch with them.

I'm happy for you that all your puppies have found a home. It must be a great relief. Just another couple of weeks until they all leave?
My puppies had their 2nd jab today so they can go out next week!! When do yours go to their new homes? Are you keeping any of them?
