BAD MOM!

      Yes, I admit it, I am a bad mom!! I have had pictures for 3 days now to put up and I have left them where I don't have access, each time I have thought of updating the blog. I assume that readers are checking in for "fresh puppy breath" and they are going to be treated to this rambling monologue! I will tell you that the puppies are doing awesome and have all begun little training regimes that include walking on a leash, coming when called, sitting, downing and standing! They are all little stars and seem very eager to learn. They have received their second puppy vaccines. Ears are being a little more cooperative with teething, although I saw Miss Flip's last week and we had to do an "ear emergency" on her. I showed her mom how to massage the ears along the natural fold to encourage them to stay folded.
     Those on Facebook have been able to see a preview of the new puppy photos and also follow some of the other pups in their new homes. If you are not on a friend on facebook and would like to be, just email me.
      This week we are looking forward to a new arrival! "Primo", "Alphaville's No Doubt" will be joining the family. Primo is a 10 week old black and tan Afghan Hound puppy who will come to us from Yvonne Ljungkvist and Alphaville Kennels in Sweden. Now Brownie, the rescue Border Collie will not be the only dog with a tail in the house! We think that the pups will enjoy playing with their new brother. There aren't many dogs as agile as an Aussie, but being a previous Afghan mom I can tell you the afghan is probably it's match! Now some people have the incorrect assumption that Afghans are not very smart. This is totally wrong as Afghans are extremely smart..as in learn it one time and I will do it again smart. You have to be on your toes as they are growing up so they learn the right way! I will post some pictures of Primo later this week so you can all admire him :-)!
        We still have the 2 boys available. Please email us if you are interested. Liz has always been torn about Dash, really wanting to keep him, but knowing he should probably go to a new home. But just in case he stays...we have been searching for a name for him. I would invite you to please send us any suggestions for call names or registered names for him. Since he looks so much like his grandfather, Khaos, we have been trying to come up with name similar in line with Khaos and Eclectic Alchemy.
   I hear by do promise those new puppy pictures as soon as possible!!
