The puppies are all in their new homes...
Ted is on his way to NYC right now. I got up at 4 AM to get him to the airport by 5. We got very attached to sweet Ted...most of the time the pups are in their new homes by 8 weeks, but Ted got to stay with us until 10 weeks of age. My daughter, Briana, insisted I wake her at 4 to say goodbye to him...again. He is not the perfect labradoodle as far as his coat goes, but he has to be one of the sweetest puppies we have ever had. I will feel relieved when his new family calls to say he is in their arms.
I cleaned up the puppy room and am doing the last of the puppy laundry. We do 6 loads of laundry a day when the puppies are growing over the weeks. The expens are back in their boxes and the paperwork is filed away. I feel somewhat melancholy today. I am free of the puppy responsibility for awhile, but I feel kind-of sad with the quiet house. The three big dogs (Maggie, Lucy, and Katie) will add their usual noise when the doorbell rings or the UPS truck goes by, but it is the noise we are all used to on a daily basis. I will miss the little barks of the little babies and their cute antics...
The house will smell better, though...! Even though I clean the puppy room frequently, there is a lingering odor of puppies that is impossible to fully rid. It does not bother me and i am used to it, but my kids remind me that it "smells like puppies in here"...
It is part of the deal of being a dog breeder. We like to have the puppies close by and that is one of the minor consequences. Puppy poop happens...!
I am looking forward to the fall when we have new puppies coming. Lani and Indy will be having F1 English goldendoodles, Juno will have some multigen. parti labradoodles, and CocoBella will have some solid and parti labradoodles. These three litters will all be standard in size.
In the meantime, I will enjoy my free time by working in the yard, hanging out with friends and family, and playing with my dogs. I have a great life...
