Puppies, Puppies and Primo!

     First off, I have returned after a very short 10 day vacation visiting my mother. You would think I would return all refreshed, but 10 days is just not long enough, especially when you spend so much of it driving! Anyway I came home to find the puppies running around...well yes, literally! It seems that Phoenix has taken to letting Kwill's older puppies out of their crates at night or when anyone is gone for an extended period of time...so snaps are now enforce on all puppy crates! Twist, Dash and Tip are all 3 doing great...Dash and Tip are still available, but may have more training while waiting for their forever homes. I will sign Tip up for beginning obedience classes this fall if he is still here and I am sure that Liz will be working hard on Dash as he heads south with her to school. (She can deliver puppies to homes in the south, near Atlanta instead of having to fly them!). The 3 Kwill puppies are getting lanky and look like little skunks as the adult hair grows in on their backs...they are oh, so shiny!
    Primo the afghan is now an official alien/ Aussie brother and thinks he is just one of Kwill puppies too...however Kwill thinks he is very strange looking and refuses to lay actual claim to him!
   
     Phoenix's puppies are getting big! They are eating and walking all over...they come running when they see us! Two of them, "Beemer" the blue boy and "Ferrari" are smaller than the rest, which makes us wonder if they aren't a day or two behind the way the breeding was spaced out. Time will tell and if so they will catch up in no time...it's hard not to fall in love with all the puppies, they are very social.. and I think they are the best eaters we have ever had! They are getting ground food, yogurt and water. They are also drinking water this week! Phoenix has taken to standing to do her day nursing, but still lays down with them at night. They are beginning puppy play...I still love hearing those little barks and growls!
  
     We will have puppies available from Phoenix's litter to show homes and pet homes. Please contact either myself (marehaven@netzero.net) or Liz (aussieslb@msn.com) for more information on puppies.
Next week pictures!!! puppies will be wormed this weekend for the 2nd time and we are booking the temperament testing as well as cerf eye exam appointments for them.
