After we are all stuffed to the gills, we will take a lovely snooze just like Brinkley is doing. Gobble, Gobble!
It appears both she and her babies are resting quietly during this holiday. Maybe she will get a piece of turkey for being such a good girl. :+)
I know it has been some time since I have posted but we have been very busy with our poultry business as well as renovations on our son's home.
We are happy to say that Brinkley's Ultra Sound shows she IS pregnant which I am so pleased about and as long as all goes well, puppies should arrive in December before Christmas. I have not contacted anyone because I want to know all are healthy before 'counting' my chickens.
Until then, take this time of year to enjoy your family, stay healthy and prepare for winter's 'welcome'.
This morning, Terri came to pick up her new addition! As soon as she came in the door, Axel was his typical friendly self and wanted attention. He stayed near Terri the whole time as if he knew 'she was the one'. It was very cute.
He will not be bored - he has other doodles to mingle with just like he did here. Be a good boy, Axel! Tell me all about your new adventures!!
I am sure Axel and his new family will enjoy his antics, intelligence and zest for life! Our house is very quiet without that chubby fellow around!
Yesterday, a couple I have known for quite some time expressed interest in becoming Axel's owners. Happily, they thought he was quite charming and would be a great addition to their home that has three other doodles of various ages. Since Axel is so comfortable being here with four doodles, I am sure his personality will shine when he meets his 'cousins'.
I am delighted that Axel will have an experienced home with several doodle friends. In time, he will join in the various walks taken during the day. Axel will enjoy the many opportunities to chase the critters in their yard, go for rides and still have plenty of cuddle time with his new 'mom and dad'.
Unfortunately, Dan had to take a call so was not included in the picture but he did say 'I was in love at first site'. :+)
Axel is now 7 weeks of age. He is full of himself and thinks he is the 'cat's meow'. He weighs 6 3/4 lbs so is leaning to be the size of his mini daddy, Jaxon rather than his 'bigger' mommy, Sadie. I expect him to mature around 20 to 25 lbs. His coat will be curly and his temperament is silly, curious, happy and energetic. :+)
I tried to take a really cute pic of him amongst some of my pumpkins but he is busy, busy!.
The next two weeks will soon be over and this bundle of cuteness will be with his new family. :+)
This little boy has confidence, energy and smarts in spades! All 5 and 1/4 lbs. of him is just waiting for something to happen that he can investigate, grab, tug or chase. He loves to 'investigate' our retired girls here and they put him in his place each and every time. So, his dogie education is intense! Thankfully, he is smart and immediately shows respect and rolls over. :+)
Axel enjoys petting and when you hold him and give him a gentle squeeze, he grunts like he is some sort of squeaky toy. :+)
Axel is doing very well. His mom, Sadie, went home to her guardian family this week and she is doing great too. Axel is eating his meals, interacting with our adult ladies and getting to meet people on a daily basis. In about a week, I will be taking him to special places to meet new people to keep the exposure going. Thankfully, we have lots of people that stop by often and who does not love to meet a puppy - especially one as cute as this little guy? :+)
Axel loves his free time running around our kitchen and also going outdoors to play in the large puppy pen. Without siblings to entertain him, it takes more effort on our part to be sure he gets lots of people time in our arms or chasing after our feet or PJ legs! He loves clogs and leather sandals too. Hmmmmm. He is very curious, playful, energetic and cuddly all rolled into one adorable face. :+)
