These are the last photos
of the puppies all together as Miss Pink left us today to start a new life
with her family. We know she will have a lovely and extremely
experienced home. She was able to leave us early for this
reason.
Forming an orderly queue
for the slide!

We are pleased to report
that Miss Pink travelled all the way to her new home (a six hour
journey) with no problems what so ever, and slept very well last
night - "not a murmur".
Miss Yellow (below) will
be staying with us - her pet name will be Aasha, which means "Hope".
Mr Green will be living
locally to live with Rob, Clare and Jess - he will be called
Archie! We are looking forward to watching him grow.
Miss Purple will be living
in Essex with John and Kim, and their Golden Retriever, Tarn.
As yet she has not got a pet name - it is difficult to choose!
7th August 2008
The puppies have enjoyed
lots of visits from friends and family.
This afternoon John, Kim
and Tarn came to visit Miss Purple - she is now called Coco.
Tarn (aged 12) and Coco
soon got to know one another.
Kim and "the girls".
Daddy's girl!
After running around in
the garden Coco found somewhere cool to rest!
Coco will be joining her
new family when she is 8 weeks old. We know she will have a
wonderful life with caravanning holidays and a "lifetime of cuddles"
- who could ask for more!
Archie met his family
again this evening.
Archie and Jess are going
to be the best of friends - he soon mastered a "sit" for tasty treat
and a toy.
Peek-a-boo!
Archie with Rob and Clare.
Archie will be a very important member of the family and will join
them on holidays in the Lake District.
9th August 2008
Tomorrow Archie will be
leaving us - it will be a very sad day for us as he is such a calm
and gentle puppy - we are going to miss him. He has now been
micro-chipped and wormed again so "Mr Green is ready to go, go,
go!". Today he has been bathed and groomed.
Nails!
The puppies are used to
having their feet touched so trimming the fur around his pads was
easy - he found it very relaxing!
Next it was time for a
shower. Our dogs enjoy being bathed and groomed - we
find a shower cubicle easier - especially with larger dogs.
Tasty treats will always help
in a new situation - in this instance chicken!
Next it was time to add
water.....................................................and
shampoo!
Rinse!
Cuddle and rub!
Dry.
Archie enjoyed being dried
- he almost fell asleep again!
Comb!
Totally
relaxed..............well done Archie!!!!
Archie spent time in the
indoor sleeping pen to make sure he was thoroughly dry before going
back outside.
Aasha and Coco have
enjoyed playing in the garden as usual.

new family. As he is living locally we took him to his new
home. Libby came along too.

puppy diary until Coco leaves us.
