Day Sixty-One

Today was a very special day for me. I received a beautiful floral arrangement and I truly appreciate it, but I don't know who it is from. Of course, this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you to whomever sent me this wonderful surprise. It means more than words can express. I have had so many wonderful things happen because of this litter and this sweet gift was the icing on the cake. So, I want to say to whomever sent this you made me a very happy girl today and I love you.

This is the card that came with it.

Today was the last day the three amigos will be together.

Sweet little Chill left for his home in Kentucky with a good friend Judy

He will keep his name but with a y at the end.

Got a message from Phil and Polar which made me smile. Phil told me housebreaking and crate training is exhausting. The picture is worth a thousand words! Thanks Phil and I totally understand the exhausting part. 

 

AND THEN THERE WERE TWO

Day Sixty 

The three amigos play very hard than then sleep for hours. I had a chance to get away and have lunch with Chris, LaDonna and Judy. It is very relaxing to get away for an afternoon. We are still having great weather for February, so I took the pups outside for some fresh air. They weren't really impressed but Tiffin had a wonderful time running around the yard. Here are some pictures of the pups today.

 Day Fifty-Nine

I am so happy that Tiffin is back to running zoom races in the yard. She is ready for spring. Her milk has dried up, and she is looking less and less like a dairy cow every day. We are getting to the end of this adventure. I have loved every day getting to watch these wonderful puppies learn and grow. It's a bit sad to watch them go but I am so happy with the homes they have gone to. I have received pictures and updates from all three that have left, and all are doing well.  Here they are in their new homes.

Daisy

Today is the last time the remaining four will be together.

They had a great time playing.

Polar left today for a life as a tracking dog. A longtime friend of 40 years or so decided that he needed another dog. He has an older girl who is a Maks daughter. I'm sure Phil will have fun with Polar and she is keeping her name. 

And then there were three entertaining themselves with an empty puppy food bag.

 

Day Fifty-Eight 

I had a very fun day today. Deanna flew in from California to pick up Daisy formerly known as Arctic or yellow girl. She and I both have a mutual friend Tammy who picked Deanna up and brought her to my house. We had the opportunity to spend the day together and it was a great day full of laughs and of course puppies! Due to bad weather in California the flight was delayed. I am hoping that the flight was not delayed longer than expected and the Deanna and the puppy make it home without any additional problems. I will be a nervous wreck until I know they are safe. So. now there are four. 

Polar can't understand where her sisters went. 

The three boys are hanging out together.

Day Fifty-Seven 

Here is the first picture of the day. The last picture of the remaining six together.

Early today Blizzard met his new family! He will now be known as Castiel. Jennifer and Andrew came from New York to get this sweet, beautiful boy. I know he will be well loved. 

And then there were five.......

The puppies had a lot of visitors today. Friends Brian and Tony who had Maks' littermate Hannah stopped by to see the puppies and I thought I might need to look under Brian's jacket to make sure Tundra wasn't hidden there when they left. Tundra seemed to take a liking to him also. 

Later my and Tiffin's friend Haley stopped by to get one last puppy fix before the puppies go and Haley brings a precious baby into the world! Tiffin wiggled all over when she saw Haley at the door. 

Tundra needs to stop being so cute. How can I resist this face?

Or these cute faces?

Week Eight 

And then there six...... The first puppy Shiver who will now be known as Coraline went to her new home today and what a lucky girl she is. She will be loved, and she will help to repair a broken heart after the loss of a much-loved dog. She has big pawprints to fill but she never left her small stature get in the way. 

After she left, the other six became very quiet. Tiffin keeps looking in on them also. They have been sleeping a lot.

The last pictures of all 7 together.

I will miss her, but I couldn't keep them all and I know Robin and Matt will give her a wonderful life.

Day Fifty-Five

Tonight is the last night all 7 will be sleeping together.  They start leaving tomorrow and I will miss each of them. I know they are going to homes that will love them and give them wonderful lives, but they were my babies first and I will worry about them. I gave them the best start I could and I wonder and hope it was enough.

Today they had visitors Wendy and Colleen who are like family we have known each other forever. They wanted to see them once more before they go to their new homes. Here are some pictures I took today.

I looked in a dark room and this is what I saw looking back at me. Tiffin and Bunny. She is so ready for this motherhood thing to be over. 

Here are some videos of them playing before bedtime.
