7 days...

I don't think I have to say more than that...

7 days.

He found a travel buddy so he's all set up and will be here about 7:00 next Thursday night :)

Birthday Boys...

Happy Birthday to Joaquin/Phoenix. 

Yes, that's right- these boys have more than just complimentary names... they share a birthday!

Joaquin turns 3 today and is in New Mexico, happily working with his partner, Crystal.

Phoenix turns 2 and is due to be a daddy again today with Black Lab, Aqua. These pups are lucky enough to share a birthday with some special dogs.

August 26th is a good day to be born.

We got the names for the "K" pups... I'll post them once they are all out to their raisers. They used a few of our female names, but none of our male names. We're a little sad we didn't get to name our puppy, but it's still fun to know the names of the pups and put bets on which name it will be :) We're thinking "K" will be here the evening of September 5th... and beyond...?

Meeting ideas Please

I just need help...

We need some new meeting ideas...

Training...

Games...

Socializations...

Help me out!

Waiting

I'm not a very patient person...

Obviously.


Apparently, Puppy raising is all about extending patience.

First, waiting for the final decision on Phoenix.

Next, waiting for Judith to come home.

Now, it's waiting for Mr "K".


Sorry, guys... I'm impatient.

(p.s. all I really want at this point is an arrival date... that's all... 19 days and beyond....?)

"K" name overload

Just about 3 weeks until Mr Yellow "K" comes... Here's the LONG list of names we submitted for the Males. (I had about the same about of female names.) Any bets on which 2 names they'll use?... if any...

Why can't I just keep them both?

Quiet.

Placer is gone for the week at our co-raisers...

And we're puppy sitting a working guide Black Lab named Daniel (who is SO handsome by the way)....

It's weird how you can be sick all day, laying in bed or on the couch, feel like you're all alone-- with TWO dogs in the house.

Even if Placer was home and sleeping... he tends to wake up every few hours (or anytime I move) to make sure I'm alright... or that I'm absolutely, positively sure I don't want to play tug with or pet him.

The peace and quiet of having two big dogs that are both over a year old.

Not a usual thing for our house...
