PUPPY BATH DAY

This was a fun day. All the puppies got a bath. Surprisingly, they all were angels.

SEPTEMBER 3RD: PUPPIES GO TO VET FOR FIRST VACCINATION AND INTERNATIONAL MICROCHIP

Pre bath and looking a little disheveled, we are off to South Bay Veterinarian Hospital for their first vaccination and international microchips (can go to Canada with this one).

PAT KAPP'S MEMORIAL

Vi Day came up to visit, go to Pat Kapp's memorial and pick up her new little show puppy, "Sasha". Cindy Robinson came too as well as Barbara Adcock who flew all the way from Texas to be there. Other Coton people there were Joyce and Roger who have "Prince" who they got from Pat 11 years ago. Pat's memorial was beautiful. We got to hear so many stories about Pat. It was so very sad and yet we found things to laugh about. We will all miss her dearly. 

EXPLORING THE OUTDOORS ON A SUNNY DAY

This month has not been the best. I've had two dear friends pass away. Pat Kapp, my Oscar's breeder died from pancreatic cancer and my friend of over 30 years that could always make me laugh until I cried, June, who died of a malignant brain tumor. Nothing better than having puppies to cheer one up. Here are some photos of the kids.

CLOUSEAU ON THE GARDEN BENCH; WANTS TO PLAY WITH NEW KIDS

Here's a photo of Clouseau. I think he needs a bath and a scrunchy, or something to hold his hair back. He's such a cutie. He's been wanting to get in with the puppies to play.

AUG. 4TH AND FINALLY COOLER WEATHER

I haven't been writing because it's just been too hot here. Today has been an absolutely delightful day with temperatures down in the 70's. I moved the puppies "day place" to the bigger pen (Richell Expandable Pet Pen) and put a low edged pan at one end for poops and pees. I may need to move the litter pan a bit closer to the bed end because they haven't always made it all the way to the pan. Prior to this, I had them in a split crate with one end being the bed and the other with the litter. The two parts were closer together, therefore greater success in the pee department. Who wants to walk that far.

104 DEGREES IN OLYMPIA

We had some over-the-top hot temperatures = 104 degrees here in the northwest a few days ago. Here are some photos of the new kids on one of these hot days enjoying an ice pack (under the little blue blanket). The little boy LOVED to lay on top of it.
