Puppy Confirmation

Here are Della's ultrasound pics. The middle pic shows 4 puppies, so we know we have at least that many buns in the oven. Ms. D is finally over her morning sickness and eating fine, as well as beginning to really show. Either it's the result of having a large previous litter, or we are in for another wild ride!! X-rays are set for October 20th, and her due date is currently October 25th. I will post x-ray results as soon as they are available.

Della seems to have adjusted well to Ashley's absence for college and having to share our room with a 2nd dog (Ashley's 14 yo Brittany, Beans). She is very clingy, but that is probably due to her pregnancy as she was that way even before Ashley left. I can't move 2 inches without her following me and leaning on or against me. Thank god the weather has cooled down!! :-)

Kirsch is a cutey!

Kirsch and Angie his PR (and Cecil's PR too!!)



Ashley and I went up to CCI last Saturday for graduation. It was lots of fun. We got to meet Kirsch and his B/C. Then we got to meet Angie for the first time face to face and see our boy Cecil. At 8 months he is already as heavy as his mom (60lbs)! Angie's vet thinks he will top out at between 80 and 90 when he's done growing. Oof!! :o) It was loads of fun playing with Cecil and seeing how much like his mom he looks and acts. To make the day even more fun, we finally got to meet Gayle, B/C for Della's mom, Keeley. Definitely a fun day and worth the drive.


Cecil sitting patiently during graduation. He looks so much like Della!


Ashley and Cecil catching up on lovin'

Home again, home again jiggity jig

Well, Ashley and I cruised up to CCI today to pick up Ms. Della. She was so happy to see us she kept collapsing from wiggling so much! We go back on the 20th of Sept. for her ultrasound at which time we will know whether she is pregnant or not. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted.

's about time!!

Yeah!! Della finally went into heat on Tuesday the 14th. :o)
Boo!! She went into heat all over my clean comforter! :P
So we rearranged our schedule and did a Santa Rosa run. If all goes as planned she will be bred to Kirsch this week. In the "its a small world" category, the winner is... Angie! She was Kirsch's PR and is currently raising Cecil from Della's FIRST litter. As soon as I know when she was bred I will post her due date, so keep watching! :o)

Cecilicious!

I'm still getting caught up on posting pictures I have received of the puppies. This is a picture of Cecil (Ashley always called him Cecilicious, after the song Fergilicious by the Black-Eyed Peas), taken on the ice March 3rd at a Seattle Thunderbird hockey game. The Puget Sound group attended together and got to go on the ice at the break to show off what their pups could do. Way to go Cecil for showing that even the youngest pup in attendance can do a perfect sit!! Thanks to PR Angie for the great photo and sorry for taking so long to post it (he's probably twice as big by now!!)

(Cecil is all the way on the left.)

Cressida!!

Here is Cressida and her "auntie" Allie. Thanks PRs Sandy and Becky for the great photo.

Oh I love a parade...

Here we are with the new East Bay Miracles CCI chapter at the Rowell Ranch Rodeo parade in Castro Valley. Much fun was had by all. The surprising thing was not a single dog complained about the hats!! :o)
