We’re gonna have puppies!

The due date is March 24th.

I’m thrilled.

Elsa is feeling… well… fat!  Slowing a tad, too.

I will get to enjoy them in good weather as opposed to her last litter… that grew up in winter!

I am currently looking for some more working homes, but have yet to advertise except on my website and the English Shepherd Club website.  Kind of difficult to do that since I don’t know how many she’ll have, but it is good to get a headstart!

Names.

I struggle with names.

The last litter had Wyoming style names from the poem called “This God-forsaken Land” found at the bottom of the page here.

This litter… should it have old-fashioned names to help celebrate our centennial of ranching??

or more Wyoming/western names again…

or just favorite character names…

or Indian names…

About half of the puppies I named last time kept their original names…

So what do you think?
