Randoms

These are some random pictures, mostly of Whit, that were taken during August and September.

This one is of Whit and his little twinner buddy Stockton. They were born on the same day, just a couple of hours apart. But Whit is much bigger than Stockton!

This is Porsche. She's one of Stormy's litter that we kept. She's doing great on beginning training and has such a fun personality!

Whit can't really ride this alone. But he LOVES it! 

Randoms of Whit

I love some of these pictures of Whit. They are just so stinking cute! He was being so silly. It all started out just trying to get one picture of him up on his hands and feet. And this is what it turned into. Still wasn't crawling, but was lifting himself all the way up at this point. I know, I know, all parents think this of their children, but he is seriously the cutest little boy ever!

This cute little puppy was also being a great little poser!

And one of Drakes favorite things to do is pose for silly pictures!

Puppies!

We sold Stormy last fall. One of the agreements in the sale was that we would get to do one breeding with her. So, when she came into heat, we rushed to find a stud and had her bred to Ford. Ford has only had one other breeding, but he's a great dog. So we were excited to see what would happen. As the time got close, we were able to bring Stormy home. And we knew she'd probably have her puppies when Rett was gone. He was assigned to judge a field trial the weekend they were due. So the boys and I were excited when they started to come on Friday, the 16th. I was a little nervous but figured that hopefully she would take care of most of it by herself. And she did. She didn't cut the cord on the first puppy, so I had to do that. But after that she did. She had the first puppy at 7:35 pm and the eighth was born at 10:49 pm. The fourth puppy was born ok, but was teeny tiny. The others were between 10 and 12 ounces, but he was only 6 ounces. The fifth puppy was born and never breathed, so she didn't make it. The boys were really bumbed. And I was too. But the rest were all really healthy. The little tiny guy wasn't big enough to nurse without being knocked off by the others. I would put him on to nurse every hour or so. He only made it a week though. It was another sad day. So she has six big, healthy puppies, four girls and two boys. And we are planning to keep one of the females, but the rest all have good homes to go to. They are just starting to walk on all fours instead of crawl, and their eyes are open now. They are getting plenty of attention and love. And they are just about to get a lot more busy! We'll keep you posted on the growth and changes.
