I'm back to being in my own little world again. My own space, my own pace and my own pack swarms under my feet. The blur of fur has diminished with the energy taking more time to settle into the ground. The buzz is lessening daily and the whir of speed is down to a steady smoother pace. Just me, myself and my pack is now my whole world once again. My priceless Tonka Boy, followed by Meiko, Isla, Leia, Young sprout Neema and wee new baby Anya. I say it all the time... how did I get this lucky?
All the pups have been in their new forever homes for over a week now and all settling in. Some a bit quicker than others, some bumps have been hurdled, some challenges have been faced, some help and guidance has been offered. All pups though are exactly where they are meant to be without a doubt. Laps have been warmed, faces have been kissed, fur has been transferred and endless love has been given. I thank all the families for sending updates and photos of their new baby in their new homes. It's my last chapter that I adore at the end of a litter story. To see them settled in their forever after homes where they will be adored and loved forever. My heart soars for each of them.
My focus is back to my own dogs here that are very much over the top tickled pink to have all my attention back on them.
My smiles for miles Meiko girl is back to her happy but content ways of being sweet to everyone and keeping the whole pack knit together and upbeat. She has a special way of keeping the energy level around here that I love.
Her weight has easily packed back on (+ some) and her energy is back in the way I love seeing after a litter. She is near perfection for a breeding mama.
Isla and Leia my lovlies, my sweetie pies are doing spectacular. Their weight has also packed back on perfectly...(+some as well which I love) their energy has gone through the roof as they show me they are ecstatic to be on their own once again. They adore being mamas but nature takes it's course beautifully and when the pups go home they are also ready to be back to having their own space and being back to their pack mates.
My 6 mth. old Neema girl is testing me at every chance she can get but is the light of my life. I am astonished at how thick she is and is growing into every inch of her body more everyday. Her neck is almost wider than her head at this point! My hope is that she'll continue to stock out and give me more size into my program here. What a knockout!
and then we have our latest addition around here, wee (big) Anya Bae. She has stolen my heart and captured every inch of my soul. She is the sweetest thing around. Very tuned in little girl always looking up looking for a weak spot to soothe. Just like my Tonka boy was not mouthy, little Anya is not either. She has stolen Neema from Tonka and tries to beat her up the best she can with her wee little self.
She's already 15 lbs. so extremely big for her age, if not one of the biggest in her litter. I am hoping she as well will add some more size to my program here. She has blended right in with my pack here and everyone has welcomed her with open paws. She's slept through the night from the get go and is eager to go outside in the mornings following the big dogs as if she's the same size as they are. She's quiet, collected, calm and sweet as a button. I couldn't have kept back a better pup from my Leia litter. I am over the moon in love.
So many great moments that I captured this week just being able to slowly 'BE' with my dogs. To slowly and quietly share space with them has removed all my frayed edges and settled all fuzzy energy that the puppies tested me with the past couple of months. They are phenomenal at balancing energy fields and I thank them for that everyday.
So now as I slow, I look forward to what's ahead. Growth, improvements, loving life, loving my family and very much looking forward to the holiday season ahead.
I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my families with new ones, older ones, and hopeful future ones.
Best wishes from my pack to yours.
Love Cinnamon, Tonka, Meiko, Isla, Leia, Neema and Anya
