Can I get an “Awwwww!” The puppies were very tuckered out after their torture shots and microchip session with me and Leslie. Cade Nash Booker? and Pickles curled up together.
Questions answered
I’ve seen several questions about who is going where, so thought I’d just make a post about it.
Yes, 8 puppies are still here makin a big old mess. Dixie is coming next weekend to make her pick…because a lot of the girls have some nice qualities, there really isn’t a clear-cut “pick”. They have different strengths and weaknesses, so it comes down a bit to what is important to people. Kate has her eye on a couple and will decide after Dixie does. Vegas will be going to a lovely show home in MN, who owns Music. Miles has a pet home waiting for him in GA, but they have a trip planned so will be picking him up over Labor Day weekend hopefully. Once I know who Dixie and Kate decide on, then the rest of the puppies can get sorted out! I have a couple of very patient pet homes who are waiting to see which puppies might be available.
And Cade/Nash is staying here!

Wow, what beautiful weather today! It is relatively cool, partly cloudy, and gorgeous. Added bonus that Dave mowed the grass yesterday so it’s actually a somewhat manageable height. What a perfect day for the family to lounge around in the backyard playing with puppies.

Pickles just loves you (whoever it may be) soooo much
This time, it's Dave she loves.
Jack doesn't realize how popular he will be with the puppies with a stick in his hand.
Just Jack.
Echo has had enough!
Bye-bye Harmony
Today Miss Harmony left with her doting new mamas, Cindi and Patti. She will have several new corgi friends to play with, gets to go to work, and I suspect will be one spoiled (and lucky) little girl.
Her registered name is “Allegro Good Luck Charm”, and they are keeping the name Harmony. I admit I’m glad, because it does seem to suit her! She woke up in time to take a cute picture, after lounging in Patti’s arms for the hour plus while we talked contract and specifics LOL.

Miles! He is winning the ear war…that one side is up more often than it’s down these days. He is such a fun puppy, he loves to play! I’m starting to get a glimpse of the handsome dog I think he’ll become.
And good news on the Lizzie front…she has finally decided that these are dogs and not puppies! I put them all out in the backyard this morning. After a couple of minutes of telling them all “Get away from my nipples!” they got the point, and she actually FRAPPED with them instead of just worrying over licking butts etc. Naturally, I had put the camera away by then LOL, but it was cute and they all had a grand morning plowing through my long dewy grass.
Echo hasn’t gotten the memo yet and thinks she’s going to sneak in the back for a quick snack, but here is Lizzie and half of her brood:
In the grand tradition of mothers everywhere, Lizzie has started blowing coat like crazy. You can see it on her rump, and I can see it in the hairbunnies all over my floors inside…I’m not looking forward to the shed, but I AM looking forward to getting my Lizzie girl back. She’s been a wonderful mother, but I like her better as lapwarmer and constant shadow.

Miss Madeline. Notice who has all the toys.
8 Weeks
Certain puppies (ahem, Harmony) would not cooperate AT ALL this week. Thankfully, Harmony already has a lovely pet home waiting for her so I didn’t feel pressure to get great stacked shots of her. More comments later…the kids need haircuts!
Introducing… ALLEGRO SOUTHERN CHARM
call name will be changed from Cade and is still being discussed in the family, but may be “NASH”
VEGAS – he wins the prize for the funkiest whiskers. Seriously, blow up the face shot if you need to but they are CRAZY!

PICKLES
Whew
Fun:
- Getting nice comments about your first litter
- Seeing lots of nice dogs
- Meeting Kate!
- Meeting Dex and Ella
- Not-too-hot weather (at least on the day I was there)
- Good puppies who don’t poop in crates for 9 hours
- Good puppies who, after settling in to the idea, don’t cry or fuss in their crates
- Making up my mind for sure about who is staying
Not So Fun:
- Realizing that puppies don’t transfer the idea of “litterbox” to a different box
- Listening to somepuppy (ahem, Vegas) cry for 2 hours of the first trip
- Getting a sunburn in the shape of my necklace, whoops!
- Smelly puppies that need baths…washing and drying 9 puppies takes SO. LONG.
- 22 hours of driving in 4 days time
- Not getting evals from everyone that you drove that far to see, sigh.
