All The Updates You Need!

PUPPY, LUCY & BUYERS UPDATE
Hey guys!! 

I just wanted to update everyone on the puppy situation! Lucy has a scheduled ultrasound tomorrow to confirm if she is pregnant or not. I very much suspect she is because her nips have 'pinked-up' and she's getting a rounder tummy and increased appetite. 

I have been getting about 3-5 calls, emails and puppy applications a week and it's becoming a lot for me. I will not have enough puppies for everyone at this rate as I had a large waiting list before we bred Lucy. Some people have been waiting for over a year for this litter and they will have priority when picking puppies. 

For those of you who are wondering how this all works, basically once your name is on my list I will contact you once puppies are born. A deposit is required to hold a puppy but I do not take deposits until after puppies are born to avoid confusion and to ensure puppies are healthy before I promise you one. 

If some people on my list are no longer interested in a puppy I will move onto my new applicants and go in the order I have received your applications! Once arrangements have been made between us you can come to our house and meet us, our dogs and the puppies (and the goats too if you like goats)! The remaining balance for your puppy is due the day you take him/her home (at 8 weeks old) and sign the contract. 

Please note, I do not sell puppies for breeding purposes, they all require a non-breeding contract, no exceptions. I also prefer to sell to people that are in the maritime provinces because I really like to meet puppy owners in person. (I haven't been doing this long enough to get into flying puppies around Canada and the US just quite yet).  I also enjoy seeing regular updates on the puppies, which you can probably see from previous posts. 

We are currently taking names for next years litter (Spring 2019). Right now we don't plan to breed Lucy this Fall as of right now. 

I hope this information is helpful for all of you that have been contacting me lately. I have been very busy as I do work a full time job and have not been able to promptly respond to everyone like I prefer to.

CAT & KITTEN UPDATE
Just over 2 weeks ago we went to get our 2 cats Pixie and Tootsie spayed. We found out that they are both pregnant. We decided because they were so pregnant (about 40-45 days) that we'd let them have the kittens and then spay them after.

We are still waiting for the kittens to arrive. Cats are pregnant for about 64-67 days. They are roughly 58-63 days pregnant right now. Any day they should be here! 

The good news is we have many homes already lined up for the kittens so hopefully we have enough kittens to go around! 

Exciting times but we are going to have our hands very full with 2 kitten litters and puppies.

We'll keep you posted! Also, I'll make a page when the time comes for Kitten updates!

GARDEN UPDATE: 
I'm stepping up my garden game this year. 2 new garden boxes down by our house as you can see Dave has already built. 1 more along the shed to be built and 1 more up by the farm. We have already repaired our fence extension and so far the goats have yet to escape. We have a few more weeks to play with before I start planting my veggies and if the goats get out this year and ruin my garden I will NOT be happy!

If you're looking for me , you'll find me in my garden!

BUNNY UPDATE
I got the cutest bunny update yesterday.

April 28 2015 we sold a little bunny named Pepper (Fuzz & Cocoa's 2nd litter) to a wonderful lady who still adores this little bunny!

What's the best part about it? She brings him with her to school and children play with him. He loves his little visits and the children look forward to seeing him. He also does a wonderful job helping children in school. The kids like reading to him too! 

​HA! Who knew bunnies could be service animals too! I love it!

I think that's about all the updates I have for now. 

Here's a few photos to make you smile!

Happy easter

I come with great news today!

​We bred Lucy and Timmy via surgical implant on March 31st and it went seamlessly!

She should be due for puppies around June 1st! We will do an ultrasound in about 4 weeks from now to confirm pregnancy. Even I can't wait that long to know for sure but usually they'll start to show early signs. FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED!  

Also, Lucy recovered really well from the surgery and is already back to her old ways. 

The vet tech showed me Timmy's "Tim-bits" as she called them (hahaha) under the microscope. He had a perfect sperm count and got to watch some of them try to penetrate a skin cell!

In other news, I hope everyone had a good Easter! The dogs celebrated with pancakes.

I'm also determined that Spring is here and Winter is gone. we dug out our pots and furniture and tilled our gardens. We have lots on our list to do this Spring! 

One of my favorite things to do when the weather starts to get warm is sit on the deck in the morning with my coffee and my Bogart by my side!

I received a few cute photos of some of the puppies in their Easter gear. I'll attach all the cuties below. 

OH and one more thing... I even saw a cute picture of a bunny (Cinder) from our very first litter of bunnies back in 2014! You'll see him in there too :)
