Surprise!
Yes…
I’ve kept a secret the past month or so…
But now it is time to share the news…
Elsa and Lucas are proud parents of nine new puppies!
Yeah, I know, Elsa just HAD puppies in the spring…
this was NOT planned by me, I admit.
I admit one door is not always enough to keep dogs separate…
*obviously*!
I can whine about *my* plans all I want…
how this was supposed to happen in 2011…
and be Elsa’s last litter…
but the truth is…
nine pups are here!
And…
they are gorgeous!
Did you have any doubt about that???
I kept Elsa inside today so I could check on her…
in Daniel’s bedroom.
He hates that.
Sorry, Daniel! <vbg>
While I cleaned house and baked cookies…
I’d sneak a peek and see how she was doing!
and, honestly,
I thought she was done at six puppies!
She’s had big litters before and I thought six sounded like a good plan…
Again…
my plans were thwarted!
Before I could put her outside in the wood shed tonight…
she quickly produced the last three pups!
Hopefully she’s done now!
There are two tri-colored pups, one male, one female…
<She’s done that with every litter! First Dally and Billy… then Ramsey and Jack!>
The rest are sable…
Four males and three females…
And…
hopefully…
when I wake up in the morning…
no more will have snuck into the mix!
So…
I need to update my webpage…
and get to advertising for WORKING homes for these newborn working dogs!
