We've had a season of rest this winter. I've enjoyed keeping up with news of the 2011 puppies as they've navigated their way toward maturity. One of the great privileges I have is communicating with puppy owners through phone and email consultations after the adoptions. No matter how well I prepare the puppies, there are random adjustments to navigate. I know those puppies well, and it's quite natural to be involved in the transitions to their new homes. Of course it's satisfying when their idiosyncracies give way to expected behavior, but I do miss them more when I'm needed less!
We hope to have litters with Molly and Maddie in 2012, puppies likely available for new homes in the spring and summer. When we have pregnancies confirmed I'll announce it here, and general puppy news can be found on the puppy blog.
The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog.
