long weekend

We are gearing up for the long weekend! Huge plans for us....NOT! Just our regular schedules, hanging out with the puppies and our doggies! Tonight I am finishing up the paperwork for all of mocha's puppies and lola's puppies that are going home this weekend. Also organizing my binders of health testing yet again.

Tomorrow is the first day that we will be dropping Tristan off to be babysat! While it is only my cousin watching him and she sees him all of the time and he just loves her...it is still hard. We have a few appointments in the morning so Angelina will watch him for a few hours at her house as our appointments are in Hamilton anyways. I know that he will have a blast! It's simple really...you want to occupy him for hours, give him a book and let him read to himself, or you can sit and read with him. We literally have a book worm. In his toy box, the books are always the first things he grabs in the morning.

August updates!

Well it's been over a month since I posted last. Lots to update! With most of our puppies having gone home it is starting to get a little quieter here. Phewwww! What a busy busy summer.

Jake ran in Tough Mudder last weekend with my sister, cousin's fiancee, and his 2 brothers. I would have loved to go, and plans were all set for Tristan and I to cheer them on, until Tristan got extremely sick with an ear infection a few days before. For almost a week we had a very very sad little boy. The first meds we were given he had a reaction to and after another visit to the doctors we got him on something that started to help him. We don't like to see our little boy so upset! He is one of the happiest babies I've ever known so to see him crying and unable to sleep is just hard. Luckily he is on the mend now.

We have quite a few guardian home opportunities for anyone that is looking to add another dog to their family. We have both puppies and adults.

Mocha's puppies will be getting spayed/neutered on wednesday and then going home this weekend. We do still have a few puppies available in her litter. As well as a couple of older puppies from Lola and Missy. Check out the website for more information and pictures! http://www.daretodreamlabradoodles.com

We are hoping to take a family vacation to Vegas mid-September. There is a labradoodle breeding conference that we want to attend. Hoping that some more puppies go home prior so that we are able to! All of our dogs/puppies will be babysat at my mom's house by my brother and sister. My mom is also hoping to attend the conference with us! Tristan is going to be poolside for the majority of the trip I'm sure. You can't keep him out of the water!

Mona has just come into heat and we are debating between Mighty or his son Cooper. I need to post Cooper on the dads page! Yet another thing to do!

feeling much better...

Thanks for everyone's concern! I am feeling much better now. The worst part was not being able to pick up Tristan!

Tomorrow we will be bathing and taking new pictures of Lola and Missy's puppies. Thankfully Macie's puppies are not messy eaters like the others so they are still very clean. The other litters are little grease monkeys!

We only have 5 older puppies here with us now from Jersey and Miley's litters. They will go home in the next week. We have 3 separate puppy yards for everyone. The front yard belongs to what we call the "twenty". Macie and Lola's puppies all together. The side yard Jake just made today and that is Missy's puppy area. They were all checking out the cat tunnels and 3 puppies just couldn't stop running through it and jumping on top of it! The older group of 5 go out in the backyard or in the front yard when the other puppies are not there. It is a constant in/out system because of the heat, crate training, bathroom runs, feeding etc! It definitely keeps us busy busy!

Make sure to check back here tomorrow evening for all of the new photos!!!

injuries...

Hi Everyone,

There won't be any new pictures for a few days until I am better. I am having continuous spasms down my lower back and can only stand while holding onto someone. Even then it is so painful. This happened tuesday morning and I have just been lying down since. Thanks for your patience.
