The 10 + 10 continue to do well in their new homes, which is so wonderful for me to hear. As you might imagine, suddenly losing them after weeks and weeks of being devoted to their every need is a wild mix of emotions. Thank you to all the new families for keeping in touch.
This is Bright Star Zuber Heze in New Hampshire.
Littermate Fauci Orion in Maryland with his Snuffle Ball. You bury treats in those and the puppy uses his/her nose to find them. Excellent way to feed puppies. I have a Snuffle Mat (thanks, Alison) but I have not seen a Snuffle Ball — very cool.
Bright Star Sage Mirak is enjoying Arizona…
Dear Husband arrived home on Friday evening from six days in Alaska where he flew to deliver Suki Lyra to her new family.
She is doing well and Dear Husband had a grand adventure. He even managed to get a moose photo for me!
Capella continues to do well and one puppy is ridiculously easy…
It is all about perspective!
Have a Happy Sunday.
As most know, one of the consequences of pregnancy for Claire was two blown cruciate ligaments. The experts point to the hormone Relaxin as the culprit.
Surgical repair (TPLO) is the gold standard treatment — she had her right leg done 24 days ago; the left leg is still supported by the custom brace from OrthoPets.
Claire has been on strict confinement/very limited activity but she is now healed enough for supervised sessions with Capella, which they both enjoy.
Here is Claire playing with her baby in a confined space, on mats, with no hair and about 12 pounds underweight…
Our veterinarian has encouraged me not to add too much weight back on Claire until after the second surgery as being thin is better but yes — it is hard to see her so out of condition.
That said, Claire is happy, eating well, and ready for TPLO #2 — that will happen on Wednesday and then we can get started on that long Rehab Road. I am looking forward to getting her back to this again…
I am reminded not to take anything for granted.
Have a grand day — and don’t forget to acknowledge your many blessings.
