Well it's been about a month since my last post. Dave and I have been struggling since the loss of Audrey but we are still hanging in there. Yesterday I created a nice little shadow box to put all her things. If anyone has lost a pet (or a person) you know that seeing their things around the house can sometimes be 'triggers' to more sadness. Almost a reminder that they wont be coming back. But I suppose it's all a part of the grieving process. We've hung it in our dinning room, a nice spot that it can been seen but not where we have to see it every time we walk by. It's also located just above the basket of toys that we have for the dogs, which only seemed appropriate!
Audrey's shadow box containing photos, dates, her leash, collar, name tags, her bows, paw print from the vet, a clipping of her hair (actually it's a mat-lol), her favourite treat and the hook that used to be on the wall that held her items.
We had a sweet little visitor last weekend. Moose came over to hang out with our dogs. He is so funny and sweet!!
Bogart, Moose & Lucy
For those of you wondering about our next litter... Lucy will be 2 at the end of May (just 2 months away). She goes for all her OFA testing and then we will breed her that following heat cycle. No signs of her heat yet (she is due any day). I am hoping she holds off a few months until her tests are done, otherwise we'll be looking at another winter litter! Hehe! I have a waiting list complied so if you're interested in a puppy let me know!!
I've been keeping in touch with the puppy parents. I love getting updates on them. I think they have all reached the 25 lb range now (some more then that). I think Coco (Dobbit's Peppermint- also the last born) was taking the lead last time I checked, she was 25 lbs back in February! They are 15 weeks now (almost 4 months).
Here's a few updates I have received!!!
PS. THANK YOU to all the wonderful owners who keep me in the loop on their pups! I love hearing and seeing them and it also gives me something to blog about :) hehe!

Coco (Dobbit's Peppermint)
Coco and Scarlett are best buds! Coco was 25 lbs in February so I can only imagine how big she is now. The vet said she has wonderful muscle tone and her teeth are coming in straight.
Sasha (Dobbit's Nutmeg)
Her Mom said that Sasha is a doll and they are smitten!

Emmy (Dobbit's Cinnamon)
Emmy enjoys running on trails and jumping in the snow. She has learned to sit, lay down, come, shake a paw and roll over.
(PS. I LOVE that hot pink on her, it's so contrasting, so pretty!!)

Rosie (Dobbit's Rosemary)
She and Sophie visited the groomer this week and Sophie is all shaved and Rosie got a "poof hairdo"! Rosie is growing like a weed and loving her new long legs - she is now running in the woods, leaping over logs and playing "catch me if you can" with Sophie. They are best pals and love to romp and play.
