Scottie Soiree

Puppy pick up Day 2009!!





Linda G. and her new little boy!

The Ericksons...there's a SPUNKY little girl between them
who won't hold still for the picture... you can't see her, but she's the dark colored BLUR.

Kari L.'s mom being loved on by Kari's new wheaten boy and by Bonnie who's a little jealous ;)

Shasta and her new little brindle girl. Her son Joe ran around our house all morning asking all the adults, "Where's my puppy?? Have you seen my puppy??" just in time for said puppy to streak by his feet and run off again! so fun!

Judy and her long awaited boy :)

Judy and Neal and their sweet boy!



And now for a few photo's of our remaining little ones...here's 'Stitch' or Zoe as I prefer to call her. She's waiting to go home with the Evan's family in mid august.




This little darling (the puppy, not the girl) is waiting for Sheila. She goes to her new home this Friday!





Sharon's little boy. Again, the puppy,
not the actual boy, as he's mine and I refuse to share him...



A sweet brindle girl waiting for Melissa J.
This little lady's name is Ghillie, being 'cuddled', i.e, kept still, by my daughter, Megan.

Veterinary check up!

Greetings all! Just an update to let everybody know that the babies took a little ride to the vet's office today for a routine check up and it went really well!

Everybody's doing just great and they're all (including our littlest) growing like WEEDS! Little Zoe, or 'stitch' as my kids like to call her, has tripled her weight in the last 2 weeks and is now
3 whole pounds! Everyone else is in the 4-5lb range and PERFECT according to Dr. Annie. No heart murmurs, no cleft palate, just 9 healthy puppies!!

We did have a little potty incident on the way to the vet's office...ahem...which was quite a disaster actually. It seems that when one has to go, suddenly they ALL have to go, and they're not yet at an age where they're subtly eying the rest stops...BUT aside from those few (13) little episodes, which we're certain were due to some nerves about the car trip and also due to the HOT weather, they all did really well!


You can all be certain to draw a great deal of attention with your new little boys and girls. We were swarmed with folks wanting to know what breed they were, if they were all sold, could they hold one ( sorry, no.), etc. It was a lot of fun, but definitely convinces me not to leave the house with them unless I absolutely must! They draw a HUGE crowd!!


I'm including a list of items you'll want to bring with you next weekend...I can't believe it's only NEXT weekend!! I've had several people ask what to bring, and so here it is! You're obviously welcome to edit this as you wish:

* halter and leash, most puppies are around 5 lbs, so you'll want to purchase accordingly


* small bag of puppy food in case he/she gets hungry.


* chew toys for entertainment


* kennel to keep them contained if you're planning on driving up alone.


* paper towels and/or baby wipes, spray disinfectant like Lysol, and plastic grocery bags (just in case your puppy gets a little nervous like happened today...)


* Water and water bowl

We're looking forward to meeting all of you and can't wait to see our babies in loving, permanent, forever homes!! See you on the 25th!!

NEW PICTURES!

Sorry it took me so long to get these out!! Thanks for your patience!

They're as current as humanly possible, I took them this morning!! ;)

enjoy!

BATH TIME!

We've been working with the pups since they were only a week old, introducing them to bath time fun- this is a little family time after the bubble bath in the kitchen sink ;)

A video and some pictures for Geoff and Jodi

Introducing our brindle girl

This little muffin is still available and waiting for just the right home to love her. She's feisty and lovey and reminds us of Brock's personality! What a doll!


For the rest of you parent's who are waiting for your little ones; You'll be happy to know they're all doing very well and just had the first of two wormings they'll have before leaving our care on the 25th. Everyone had a lovely bubble bath and was then very surprised (after such a nice time in the kitchen sink) when I had to put yucky medicine in their mouths. We all made it through just fine though ;)

Our little brindle boy

Just wanted to post a few pictures of our little brindle guy since he didn't get any still shots last time!
Enjoy, Judy!

PUPPY LOVE!

I'm so delighted to finally be able to have a blog all for the dogs! It's been my hope to do this for some time, but just haven't gotten it done until now! Our '09 litter is now 3 weeks old and I can hardly believe it! Bonnie whelped an enormous litter of 9 babies on May 24th and it's been so fun to watch them all grow so rapidly!

As my current clients know, we did have one little lady who was born with an umbilical hernia, a complication not altogether uncommon- but which we've never experienced at CRST previously. She is such a strong puppy and was from the moment of her birth, standing up and practically walking right out of the birth canal! After a brief and uncomplicated surgery, our girl is up and around just like the others, though she is definitely smaller!

She's our main concern with this litter at this point and we're currently bottle feeding for one or two of her meals during the day. The rest of the gang are doing exceptionally well are beginning to 'play' with one another, gumming each others heads and feet and pawing at one anothers little faces! And it's all in slow motion of course because all their little body parts are so heavy! Oh, such fun!

I'm SO, SO, SO pleased to say that six of our wonderful babies are spoken for and have loving and fabulous homes waiting for them when they're ready to be released from mom and dad and the family here at CRST! It's so rewarding to know that there are loving 'moms and dads' who are axiously awaiting their new Scottie puppies!

Here's a brief video of our 3 week old litter having a little naptime. Notice we keep the light low for them at this time- it makes for not-so-great video, but happier puppies. Also- we've begun to introduce a few 'foreign' objects into the puppy box to help build confidence. Some puppies are intimidated by this weeks very scary TP roll, others, like the little girl in the video- aren't a bit afraid and waltz right up to it. One little man growled ferociously and barked repeatedly, for which we praised him enthusiastically.
