Patience.

Like everyone else, I am patiently waiting for news that Lucie is cycling. Mother Nature is always in charge as I say over and over again! Fingers crossed that she cycles this spring as planned. Still contemplating who her mate will be - so nice to have choices!! I hope all of you had a pleasant Easter celebration. Now that most of the holidays are behind us, let us move past the incoming snow/rain storm coming to the East Coast and know, it will all be gone in a few days with temperatures signaling Spring!! Stay tuned!

HAPPY, HAPPY DAY TODAY!

Phoebe's pups were all picked up today much to the delight of their owners.  The day was absolutely gorgeous with blue skies and mild temperatures.

Once all arrived, we went outside with the pups for some socialization, fresh air and 'blanket' rubs on each pup.  Then we started our meeting to go over the pup booklet.  Later we all went outdoors again for pictures, and the last 'potty' stop before  traveling to their new homes.

Adios my fluffy dear ones!  I hope you make me proud as you acclimate to your new home, people and places you will go!  :+)

Deb and Phoebe Nyx! 

Andrew and Laura with Luka!

Sue and Brad with Hazel!

Sam, Emme, Eric with Moose!

The whole 'family' together. Good luck everyone!

You all know you can always contact me with questions or concerns.   I would also enjoy updates on how they are all doing and most of all, PICTURES every now and again.  :+)

I think Emme is adjusting really well to having Moose in their home. What do you think??

The perfect pair.  💗🧡

                                   

WHEW! Pups are bathe, bags are packed and they are ready for their homes!!

Did you honestly think this day would ever be on the horizon????  :)

Right now they are running around the pup room like a bunch of naked toddlers under a sprinkler!  :+)

All of them were great for their bath and amazingly good with the hair dryer! None showed any concern at all which makes me very pleased.  I added their microchip tag to their collars and will put them on tomorrow morning in hopes none of them will allow their siblings to chew it!  Little stinkers!

I am sorry pictures could not be taken during the bath - hubby was busy with wood and I needed double the hands I have....:+(

Please be on time tomorrow.  I have an early wake to attend to (hubby's friend) but will be there for 11 am.  If you are early, please wait in the driveway in your vehicle or go uptown for a cup of coffee! :+)

Looking forward to seeing all the smiles tomorrow as you FINALLY take your companions home.  Remember after my 'talk', each one of you needs to stay in line for pictures - doesn't take long, I promise!!!

WEEK EIGHT! - Phoebe#2 x Diesel Litter

Yup, time is moving very quickly to pick up day next week.  Are you ready??  

Since today is cloudy but not raining (yet), I decided to try and take a pic of each pup alone outdoors.  They all love being outside and are thrilled to be playing, chasing, finding treasures and just exploring in a lot of space.

I have contacted all the new owners and everyone is quite happy with their assignments!  My trainer was very impressed with this litter which makes me feel good. :+)

One more week and they will all be in a new home with new people wondering 'what the heck happened'?  Just remember to give them time to get accustomed  - they will come around.  Petting, playing and eating make them very happy.  :+)

'King of the Mountain' is MOOSE Cheney!  9 1/2 lbs.

LUKA Morrissette/Marotta being his typical goofy and active self!  10 lbs.

Dainty HAZEL Cohen enjoyed a lick of snow.  6 1/2 lbs.

PHOEBE (we have a 'jr.') Demaso is very focused.  8 lbs.

By the weekend, the SpaySecure contract will be sent to you.  Look for it.  It must be signed by you before pick up day.  SpaySecure will contact me once it has been done.  :+). THANK YOU!

PUPS GOING OUTDOORS AND LOVING THE SNOW ! Phoebe #2 x Diesel

Well, we finally got the pups outdoors and I can tell you they all loved it but Cinder and Elf REALLY like being outdoors.  They play and chase each other round and round and use the dogie door at every opportunity.  Jingles and Star needed the taxi driver (me) to introduce them to the outdoors. THEN, they decided they liked it.  :+)  

Here are some shots of their excursion:

The 'body-less' doodle!  Jingles will need a colorful vest when outdoors so you can find him!

Whoopie!!! Where did THIS playground come from??

Isn't this stuff fun?  Huh? Huh?

Hey, where are those two going??

Monkey see, monkey do. Star & Jingles.

TEMPERAMENT TEST went well today! Got pics up!

WE are all back home and in spite of the storm of heavy snow (but thankfully not a foot of it!), we traveled very well up to Cumberland Maine to visit my trainer.  The pups did super in my car for the hour and 15 minute drive.  :+)

Once we arrived, I set up my portable pen in her garage and they all settled in.  Each one was seen individually for about 20+ minutes as she went through the steps with all of them.   I did take pics but they will not download from my phone - I am such an IT idiot _ I really hate it so you must forgive me.  I did not take my 'user friendly Canon' as I though the iPhone would do the trick - WRONG!  I will see if my savvy son can help me later.  :+(

Anyway, until then, I can say I was proud of every pup and was complimented by my trainer for raising such a nice group of pups.  Thank you, Judy!  If I get lucky and my son can help I will update this post.

OH MY GOD I DID IT BY MYSELF!!!  WOOT, WOOT!!!!

There are few more tests that she does but I was pushing my 'talent' to get at least one of each pup in this trip.  Next time I do this, I am bringing my trusty Canon.  I know how to work that.  (grin).

SEVEN WEEKS! - Phoebe#2 x Diesel

 It is certainly looking like 3 out of the four pups will be following in their sire's footsteps when it comes to a 'mature' size!  Diesel is a sturdy 30 - 32 pounder.  A rugged boy with nice solid boning.   Personally, I love this size - not too big or too small - a perfect companion size to wrestle with, take hiking, swim in the ocean or boating.  Of course little Miss Star will be the exception - NOT in personality but is size.  I expect her to only be about 24 lbs.  Still able to 'nap in your lap'!!!

We are in 'shark' week(s) now.  They use teeth for everything in their path - toys, food, shoes, fingers, clothes ...oh my!  When you visit, be prepared and don't wear your cute shoes or nice pants - I warned you!! :+)

Tomorrow the group will go to my vets for their full check up, the Distemper and Parvo Virus vaccine and their microchip.  Hence, no visits are scheduled on Friday because I want them to stay as calm as possible to watch for any vaccine reactions, if any.  I have never had any but like to stay vigilant.

On Monday morning, we go for the hour trip to visit my trainer for their temperament assessments.  A BIG day!  I will NOT have any write up results for several days, so please be patient.  You will know very quickly when I receive them.  Till then:

1. Please send me your three favorite pups.  Discuss and let me know as soon as possible.
2. It is important that you have both a name for a female and one for a male when I call you as I have a ton of paperwork to do and absolutely REQUIRE that name.
3. Once you have been assigned and agree to a pup, the balance will be due via check or cash.  
4. Be sure to order your Snuggle Puppy on Amazon as they are not available in stores (that I know of).
5. Start puppy proofing your home and check out the Puppy Prep Tab on the website!

Before you know it, February 10th will be here!  Time for everyone to arrive is 11 am that morning!  Should take about an hour.  :+) Joyce

Cinder - A coat of silk and a clone of her dad in looks and personality.  A good thing. :+) (7 1/4 lbs.)

Sporting a green bib, Elf depicts his love for food.  The largest pup at 8 1/2 lbs.

Like a poofy marshmello, Jingles waddles his way into your lap and heart. (8 lbs.)

Star, belying her spunky nature, her feminine qualities abound!  (5 1/2 lbs. of cuddle)
