10/9/05 - So here it is, Sunday Oct. 9th just 2 days shy of my 8 week birthday and I still don't have a forever family. I
just can't seem to understand why my special people haven't found me yet. I am cute as a button, cuddly and
loving. So, I'm not quite housebroke and nip a bit but I will gladly make up for that with kisses.
I got my first shots last week and the vet commented on what great puppies we are. We were perfectly well
behaved at the office. We waited our turn by taking a nap on the bench in the exam room. The vet gave us each an
exam, weighed us and gave us a shot. Then he put us on the floor to play. We sniffed around a bit and then settled
down for a nap. Not one single accident, that is amazing for 6 puppies. We promise to grow up to be nice puppies
just like our mom Diamond is. You can call my foster mom she will tell you all about us.
09/29/05 - Sapphire turned 6 weeks old Tuesday and is just as sweet as ever. She is doing well and patiently
waiting for her forever home. She loves to play tug with her brothers and sister. She is a lot of fun. All the pups are
doing pretty well with housebreaking. They love being outside and romp, play and come in for a nap. Keeping tabs
on the 6 of them in the yard is no easy task! She is already trying to figure out what she wants to be for Halloween.
She is thinking about being a Fairy Princess and even tried on her dress. She has put her request in for a magic
wand and tiara. Above are the pictures from her "first fitting" the dress may need to be taken out if she doesn't stop
growing so fast!
9/19/05 - Hi, I'm Sapphire one of Diamonds Puppies. I will turn 5 weeks old on Tuesday and will be ready for my
forever home in 3 short weeks. Until then I will be playing with my brothers, sister and foster family.
9/7/05 - I would like to introduce Diamond's puppies, we have 4 boys and 2 girls. They turned 3 weeks old
yesterday and will be ready for their new homes in 5 short weeks. They are healthy, happy little babies and growing
like weeds. They had their first vet check when they were 3 days old and had their front and rear dew claws
removed to avoid any future problems with them becoming loose. They also had their first worming last week and
will have another at 4 & 6 weeks old. At 6 weeks we will get their first series of vaccinations. We are unsure what
the puppies are mixed with, but they have very thick colorful coats.
Since Momma's name is Diamond we decided to go with Gemstone names for the puppies. So we have
Topaz (M), Peridot (M), Garnet (M), Sapphire (F), Pearl (F) and our odd ball Dominic who was fifth to be born. Why
Dominic you ask? The day the puppies were being born Diamond had the first 4 pups with 45 minutes. We
thought she was done when out came #5 1 1/2 hours after #4. A good friend called me who is a SCBR foster
home and adopter to tell me her beloved Dominic very suddenly passed away. Upon talking to her we realized pup
#5 was born about the same time her boy passed. So we decided to name him in memory of Christine's much
loved Dominic. You always hear that for everyone who leaves us another is born, that holds especially true in this
case.
The pups are getting used to their weekly nail trims. They are starting to play, walk and be much more active. Now
the fun begins with keeping them contained. As of last week when they were weighed for deworming the pups
weights were Topaz 3lb 10oz, Dominic 3lb 4oz, Peridot 3lb 1oz, Garnet 3lbs, Sapphire 2lb 14oz, Pearl 2lb 13 oz.
I will recharge my digital batteries so I can get individual pictures of the puppies for the web site. Stay tuned for
more updates!
