Well, the puppies are in their final stretch with us! Last week they said goodbye to their Mama Topaz, who rejoined her guardian family, and had their first vaccinations and their temperament assessment. Over this past weekend we have gone through the allocation process with our new puppy families.
Whisky will be joining Katie and Matt in Hamilton.
Rosie will go to a family not far from us in Ottawa - Janet, Drew and Quinn.
Chewie will be heading to Toronto to live with Melissa and Stephen.
Rover will join Eva, Thuan and Josh near Montreal.
One last puppy, Jackson, is still in need of a home though we have someone who is very interested so we are hoping he will find his forever family this week as well!!
Tomorrow the pups are going for neutering - the last big "milestone" before they head to their new homes. After several days of recuperation, the first of them will start the transition to their new families.
Today they joined us on our July Doodle Romp. It was a small Romp - only three dogs joined us - but a good one nonetheless. With the heat, it was more of a "Doodle Flop" - we wandered slowly through the woods (with several people herding the puppies along and making sure they didn't disappear into the bushes beside the path!), crossed the road, and then all flopped down in the shade of some trees in the field. Some of the dogs had plenty of energy to play, and the puppies were busy exploring, running around and being active - at least for a while. By the time we all headed home an hour and a half later, three of the pups were worn out, but Jackson and Whisky were still going strong!
Check our FAcebook page tomorrow for some photos of the pups and other dogs at the Romp-Flop!
