At some unidentifiable point in childhood, children gain a mind of their own and cease to be compliant little bodies to snuggle with and play…they wake up one day and decide, no! today is about me! LOL Well, puppies are much the same….it is so interesting to watch as they suddenly realize there is more to life than their secure little area…there is a whole big world out there and they want to explore! This becomes a challenge! LOL
At the same time we begin to realize that this time also signals the point that they are ready for their new family and home. This is bittersweet. Daisy has already left for her new home and reportedly doing great! The others will be close behind. Some are still hoping their new family will find them soon….if you are looking for lots of love and a companion for life, you will find it in a new puppy….. with so much energy and passion for discovery! Warning: You may need a few extra energy bars to keep up! LOL

Wow! This summer is flying by….we have enjoyed so much rain in Texas…I can’t remember a summer this wet. I’ll take the wet over the heat anyday! LOL
Our sweet little Daisy was sold yesterday and we are so excited about where she is going. Thank you Pat for choosing to love her and allowing her to join your family. She will have another sweet pom to play with there as well.
Ginger is pending, waiting to see if she will be big enough to breed. Right now she is very tiny, so I am taking back ups in case the sale doesn’t go through. She must be charting to weigh at least 4 1/2 pounds as an adult before I can sell her with breeding rights…if you are interested in a tiny little lap baby companion, I would be happy to take your name as a back-up.

Leila’s babies are all beautiful and growing nicely…however, my daughter pointed out to me last Monday evening (as we calmed down and all babies were sleeping) that I had, in my excitement, mis-identified one of our babies. Leila actually had 3 boys and 1 girl, not 2 boys and 2 girls! oops! Anyway, the ones we thought might be brindles are most likely going to be cream sables I think…its so hard to tell at this age because Poms change coloring so rapidly! Anyway, I will have pics posted this weekend and you can judge for yourself. It will be exciting to see the coats change as they grow and get more hair. Keep checking back for updates! 🙂

What a day! Leila was in labor all day, and finally gave birth to four gorgeous, healthy and strong puppies. She had a white male and a brindle(?) male, and a solid black female and brindle(?) female. We will post pictures in a few days. We are so happy they are finally here!
