Tory's Pups

Tory's puppies are doing very well. Here are a couple of photos (click photo to enlarge) of the whole gang at three days old. The first includes a precocious little boy who has already mastered the ol' eating-on-your-back trick. Now we know it's too soon for collars, but the reason for the colored rick rack visible in the second photo is so we can tell them apart at a glance. They enjoyed a wellness visit to the vet (Dr. Brad Patterson) yesterday, and they were pronounced strong and healthy. As of today, the puppies are six days old, and they are all 14 to 15 ozs.

Tory's Pups

We're really pleased to announce the natural birth of Tory's (Mayfair Torrington's) first litter of puppies on 1/14/11 at 7:05, 8:25, 9:50, 10:25 AM, and 12:32 PM. Their weights ranged from 8.1 to 9.5 ozs., and they're three boys and two girls - all Blenheim. The photo at right is of the first puppy. It's a boy, and he is only about 60 seconds old. Wow.

Aubrey's Pups

Well, I'm really behind in my postings. The last of Aubrey's lovely pups went to its new home in early November 2010. That's the BAD news. The GOOD news is that we still get to see them either for social visits or for longer stays while their new families are away and couldn't take their newest family member with them.

In case you don't know, we make an offer to our puppy buyers: If you can't take your new puppy with you, leave him with us rather than leaving her with a boarding facility. For the puppy, it's like visiting family; he is familiar with our home and all of our residents; she has a great big yard to run and play with others her own age; we take great care of them; we do provide some grooming services (for a very small fee); and we only charge $25 per night.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Aubrey's Pups

Aubrey's pups are seven weeks old as of today. And not only are they gorgeous (no bias here), they are really, really smart. They've been going in and out of the doggie door for over a week. They've been going out with us for the past two weeks when we run errands just so they are comfortable with people of all size, shape and color. They've been on every surface inside our home (towels, newspaper, sheepskin, tile, carpet, concrete, doggie beds, etc.) as well as every surface in our back yard (dirt/mud, gravel/rock, and grass). They bark (a joy starting this early), play fight at two and three o'clock in the morning (another joy) and love to shred the newspaper day and night (more joy). And for the last joy, they give kisses, pull on my beard, and make my eyes feel good when I look at them. Look at the photo. See what I mean?

The pups are doing very well, but before I tell you just how well, I want to share one more baby picture. I'm a proud dad.

New Puppies

On July 26, 2010, Aubrey gave birth to two lovely puppies - a Blenheim girl at 11.5 oz and a tri-color girl at 9.8 oz. The mom is well, and the puppies are doing very well.
