HAZEL X EMMETT ASSIGNMENTS!

As you are aware, many factors are taken into consideration when making these choices - the biggest one being what you wrote on your application; and your visits, preferences as well as folder updates.

My trainer and I look at the differences in behavior when placed in an 'isolated' area versus what they are like together as a pack - all these things are used to make a selection.

• The Krumsiek Family has been assigned Rose Girl now named JULES.
• The Conti Family has Copper Boy known as RAGGS.
• The Grant Family are the proud owners of Lime Boy, called CHARLIE.
• The Voss Family were delighted to know that Navy Boy will be joining them. His name will be TEDDY.
• The Weinstein Family will welcome little Denim Girl aka RAVEN into their home.
• The Albuquerque Family has named Checkers APOLLO!
• The Foster Family welcomes HADLEY (Lilac Girl).

All are assigned and all are happy with their new fur-babies. I will see all of you next weekend!

SHE HAS ARRIVED!

I am beyond excited to shout out that Miss Minnie Mc Guinness has landed at ADNE! What a delightful puppy from my good friend and breeder, Heather Clark of Cottage Acres Cockapoos.

It was serendipity that this lovely female was available. Called 'Gunny', she slipped right into my household like a glove.

Please welcome this adorable girl who we originally thought to place in a local guardian home but we could not give up Gunny, so she lives with us.  :+)

What is not to like about this adorable mini?

• Gunny is very ladylike when she eats, no grabbing, growling or stiffness
• is gentle with my baby 7 week old pups - very tolerant
• respectful of my adult doodles that live here
• does not nip
• sleeps through the night
• LOVES to cuddle and give kisses
• non-shedding coat of soft waves
• beautiful amber-green/hazel 'human' eyes

A new day with Gunny:

• Gunny has a 'Do I have your permission to approach?' demeanor. She comes slowly and lays down with eyes looking for acceptance. Sometimes does a roll-over. She will jump up and gently put her paws on you but a soft correction of 'no' takes care of it.
• She is not an over-eater. Eats till she is full and leaves it. She has a bladder like a camel, so you really have to watch her. Most pups eat and immediately potty - not Gunny.
• A bath is not on her 'favorite thing to do' list. :+) She tolerated it well enough and is so silky to the touch now that she is dry.
• Loves laying with you on the couch having her belly rubbed.

I could go on but I think I will get to know her better first. I know she must have something negative but I have yet to notice it. Oh, she loves to destuff toys!

They have a way of telling me when hungar strikes...

They are quite clever....

Hey guys, I am getting hungry.

Let's see if Auntie Daisy can help! Umm no milk there.  :+(

Do you think if we ask nicely, lunch will be served??

Maybe if a lot more of us ask, it will come!

Yes, lunch was served asap! With those faces staring at you - who could resist?

Set #1 of them playing on the turf outdoors.

Enjoy!

Wahoo, wahoo!

Wait! I have an itch!

Buddies.

It's mine, no... it is mine!

What's over here??

Want to play in the sandbox?

What does he hear? Clearly, something has caught his attention.

Look at the attitude...hmmm wonder who it is.

The joy of space!

So cute!!

Going over to check out the clubhouse.

Noses to the ground all the time - so much to sniff!

A plane was overhead and these three stopped in their tracks to focus on the sound.

They enjoy the tunnel and do not fear it at all.

Activities during Week Six for the Hazel x Emmett litter.

During this week, the pups have played with a metal trash can lid (very noisy), sleep with the big frog and also enjoy this playgym.  I generally put this away by the time most of my pups are two or three weeks old. However, with this mini group, they are still playing with it at six weeks!

They have also learned to use the dogie door to go outdoors to play and love romping around on the big playground. Lots has happened during there sixth week of life.
