PUPPIES ANTICIPATION

Ive been chatting with Gloria (Breckons owner) over the past couple days, since dropping Ky off. They love her there, she likes to cuddle, and play, is quiet, and (I quote) a prima dona princess:) Theyve had no problems with her, she is eating and likes to play and potty outside with the girls. She doesnt want to be outside alone, so they send her out with a couple of their younger females. Theyre also growing out a couple puppies (now teenagers) and she gets along well with them. When shes had enough of their roughhousing, she grabs a chewy rawhide and jumps up onto a couch next to a person and lays nicely :)
Gloria believes tonight is going to be the first night of a breeding, so Im crossing my fingers the next update I get is that they did breed :)
It is SO weird not having Ky here, but having the other two. Im not used to it yet. Ky is usually the one to wake me up to let them out and feed them, lately Ive been sleeping in b/c Belle is zonked and Tig is sleeping too. Belle isnt eating her food as well as she used to when Ky was here, and Tigger doesnt want to take his cookie when we leave the house (normally, Belle first, Ky second, Tig third), but Tig just spits his cookie out and looks around - poor guy misses her!

PUPPIES ANTICIPATION

Well—its Friday :) :)
Kylee has her vet appointment this morning (in 9 hours) and then once home from that, Dad and I are hitting the road :) Ill bring my camera to get pics during the trip :)

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and has a safe, great weekend!!

PUPPIES ANTICIPATION

Well, she skipped eating her dinner last night (which was actually her breakfast from that morning)...

This morning I figured Id just put her old food back in her dish (BilJac) and see what happens. We had barely just finished switching them over completely to Merricks Before Grain formula, and she was eating it fine all last week and before going into heat… Well, once the BilJac hit her bowl - she ate.

I tried playing a little game hand feeding her: biljac kibble, biljac kibble, Merrick - plew, she spit it out. Ate bil jac a few times in a row, handed her the merrick - she spit it out. I’ve gotta get this on video, its actually cute - its what she does with dog treats at shows, too. She is PICKY, doesnt even like cooked chicken breast or cheese!

So, shes going to be “abruptly” switched back to her old diet of BilJac just to get her to eat :)

Finished a Breckon X Ky pedigree (still need to add health clearances and such, but good enough for now) ....

NOVEMBER 20 & 21, 2009 - PUPPIES ANTICIPATION

I thought it’d be neat if I made a thread to update as I notice things on her changing…

Today is “Day1” of her being in heat, next Friday (day after Thanksgiving), she will be going to the vet for a Brucalosis test and smear. Then, my dad [Viper18433] is driving us to Jeannette, PA for Ky to meet and stay with her boyfriend = “Breckon” (CH Belaire’s What You Leave Behind), a JJ son. JJ was very accomplished in the show world (conformation, agility, obedience, rally, herding) and produced many kids -and grandkids- who are following his pawprints. JJ passed away only a couple months ago, at 15 1/2, we hope the pups from this resulting litter are as happy and healthy as he was until the end.

We are extremely excited for this breeding and will start crossing fingers and hoping now everything goes smoothly and well :)

Ive never chronicled a litter before, either. Best Ive done is have “puppy cams” for Tigger & Ky growing up from 8 wks old. So, Im going to do my best at this. You may have to remind me at times to post anything :)
--————————
A note for today (day2) shes eaten half of her breakfast and shows no interest in going back to it. So if she skips her dinner, will add some special stuffs to it tomorrow to entice her to eat. She’s being cuddly and playful at the same time. And, being a good girl leaving her doggy diaper alone :)

Kelly & Ky

Shows! (1st AKC)

Kylee was entered in her first AKC show this weekend. She earned "Reserve Winners Bitch" both days. Not bad for a first timer! :)
