Our Newest Hopeful - Kodak

Kodak and Taphee are just coming 4 months. This week they are attending with Marylou various kid camps in the Ottawa area, to promote canine awareness, care and how to approach a dog.

Thanks to Mary-Anne & Marylou, they got bathed and blow dried on Tues, so I captured a quick head shot of Kodak.

Kodak And Friends

What pups do after play ... ain't easy to sneak up on sleeping pups via patio door ... a slight move of the door and they are awake, wondering what's up. Needless to say these are shot through the glass.

This is Kodak - our newest male hopeful from our Rush x Sibelle litter

Jelly Bean from our Maple litter on the left, and Kodak's sister Taphee all stay close together

Yet To Be Named

In between what was a busy weekend (more to Blog when I can find the time), Marylou and I were able to catch a few pics of my fav boy before the sun went down, from our Sibelle litter sired by our Rush. We have yet to give him a name. Any suggestions? Preferrably not a human name either.

At 8 wks I think he's got promise.

A Sibelle Pup - YIPPEEE!!

Our Rush x Sibelle litter are 8 wks old this weekend, so it is time for some of them to go to their new homes. This little sweetie, Maggie she is now called, has found herself with a lovely lady down in the Cornwall area. She will enjoy loads of company as she teaches piano out of her home.

I hear she made the 1.5 hr or so trek home with no incidents, in fact slept all the way. Then enjoyed a romp in the backyard. Here are a few of the pics sent to me.

YIPPEEE ... LOOK AT ME GO!

I'M COMING!

Break time ....

We look forward to getting more of these great photos .. especially the actions one! Enjoy your new puppy breath Heidi :)

Pulling An All Nighter

Am I getting to old to pull all nighters? Nope, not when it comes to whelping pups. Sibelle delivered right on her expected delivery date, starting at around 11pm last night and finishing at 3 am. What she did do is surprise us in numbers. SEVEN pups, 4 boys and 3 girls. I spent the remainder of the night on the couch monitoring the whines and ensuring Sibelle was comfortable. Needless to say we only got a few winks here and there and then it's been cleaning her up, laundry, getting the puppy room ready, all the while eyeballing everyone to ensure they nurse and are warm.

Shelamo Sugar Rush x Ch Shelamo Chasing Rainbows

This is our Rush's 1st litter so we are anxious to see what he produces.
Sibelle is pretty tired. It is amazing how these 7 hour old pups can motor. This one has obviously climbed up over mom and settled in against her head. Time to put the board across the front so they don't climb out of the 'nursery box'.

I need another coffee!
