Doodle Doings

It is always a little anxiety-producing when a mom whelps her first litter, and I seemed to have been going through that a lot in recent months (Reese, and Sloopy’s recent litters had also been firsts for them).  But Daisy did a great job and things went smoothly, although, of course, her litter was born in the middle of the night!  Three cream boy and two chocolate girl mini North American Retriever puppies made their appearance in the wee hours of 9/24.

Home school had started for my kids a few days after Sloopy’s litter was born, and now, a month later, Daisy’s litter was also keeping me busy.  I was spending the days alternating between working with my kids and cleaning up after moms and pups, and nights catching up on puppy applications and emails preparing new owners for the arrivals of their puppies.  September had blended in to October.
