Ozzie

Ozzie came to visit us last month and he is a sweetheart. He is huge. Now 45 pounds and so lovey. He is always hot. Teresa said if it is above 60 degrees he is hot and he is so white! This was taken after a walk. He came in and just plopped over the vent in the hall. Guess that is a favorite spot for him. He did not even wait to have his leash taken off. We loved having him.

Otter update


Otter is growing fast. I am sure all the "O" puppies are. He was at the vet today and is past 30 pounds. Otter is going to need a new cape, a large, soon. Otter has been a little under the weather for a little while so we are holding off on going any place to stressful until he is 100%. He probably would have been to the Magic Kingdom a couple times by now. Everybody comments how cute he is when out in public. I forgot how long a quick trip can be when you have a cute puppy.
Hope all is well with the other "O" puppies

Ollie update

Ollie is such a sweet puppy. He has had many adventures and never ceases to amaze me. He goes to class with me and can lay quietly for the full hour and a half. He is learning to be quiet in all crates, not just the ones he likes. He goes outside but has not forgotten how to go in the litter box when asked. He is good eater but will leave a few pieces of food in his bowl. I could learn from him. He will make the trip to NYC later this month until them we have loved having him. His latest adventure was a trip to Racine Wisconsin to put our boat in the water. Oh, yes, he LOVES the water. He has a kiddie pool that he jumps in and drinks and plays.

Cheeto update

Does she miss her pups? What do you think? She will steal their toys and do just this - sleep with them. In the days just after they were turned in she would walk around the house and whine with a toy in her mouth. She no longer does that but she does do this. I took this picture tonight. Ollie is with me till the end of the month and she loves playing with him. Ozzie has been here too and they love to romp. I think she loves being a mom. Well, she will get enough of that because the plan is to breed her on her next heat. I have begun taking her with me on my hospice and courthouse visits. She is such a sweetheart.

Oxley's New Home



Rob and I are thrilled to have Oxley join our family. On the other hand, I think that Brady (our other yellow lab) is already wondering when the new guy is going home! I'm sure he'll come around though! Oxley did a little exploring in the back yard, but spent most of the afternoon sleeping (as documented by the photos). Hope all the other "O's" are happy in their new homes!

Puppies go Home

Yellow is now Olga living with Ellen and her family, Red is now Orrie living with Greg and Cindy, and Purple is now Oxley and living with Ali and Rob. All these pups will be living in Southwestern Michigan. Ozzie, formerly White will be in Illinois with Teresa, Otter, Pink will soon be in Florida with Douglas, just as Ollie will be in New York with Julia. Presently Ollie is in Illinois with Cheeto and I. Green is now Opal living with Peggy and Orange is now Omar living with Sara both will be in Southeastern Michigan. Thanks everyone for opening your hearts and lives to these pups. I know how much time you will devote to them. You have all been invited to post on the blog. Feel free to give us updates as time permits. I hope everyone has a goodnight first night at home :)

Mystery Solved

The mystery is solved. The Third little girl is going to be living in Michigan with Peggy. Have fun Peggy with one of these gals. All the girls will be close to Paws. It is amazing how they have grown from Day 2 to these big guys in just 6 weeks. Hope the weather is good tomorrow for all of our drives to get these pups at Paws. Be safe everyone, happy travels.

Trip to Paws



They are all happily settled in at Paws. The trip was smooth as they rode in the back of the Yukon with their litter box and toys and mostly slept through the 3 hour drive. Once we got there two kennels were ready with toys, water and a bed. They quickly acquainted themselves with their surroundings and began to play. What a great group. It was hard to say good bye, but I know they will be off to new adventures in wonderful homes. Thank you to Paws for allowing me to help Cheeto with these pups. It is an honor indeed to be part of the process. I will make the trip back to Paws on Thursday to pick up Mr. ?????? I will be picking up my daughter's pup and him driving him out to New York soon.
