October 28, 2017 Clover (Scotch Mallow) a grown up girl

Scotch Mallow at one minute old.
Clover was one of CarmelCorn's first litter. We called her Scotch Mallow, sometimes we called her Tank because she loved to pull heavy weighted things around.

Scotch Mallow went to the Critter Cabana, where she eventually found herself becoming a helper for some special needs kids. They renamed her Clover and took the time to find us and join our Facebook Rocketdog group.





She was always a big girl. Born on New Year's Day on 2016, she was a healthy one and a quarter pounds and we thought she would eventually turn into a tri-color because some of her fur was very dark when wet. But as she grew (and dried out) she declared herself a wonderful Red and White.



Once she landed safely with her hew family, she was well loved by the two boys and, we are told, helped out a great deal and gave the boys a good thing to occupy their time.


This morning I pulled another picture off of Facebook. She is a beautiful Basset Hound. We are very proud of her and hope all of the others turned out as well.

A beauty queen.

October 20, 2017 Puppy Update

My how they have grown in just one week.

Nobody's eyes are open yet.    They are actively seeking Carmen out using sound and smell. But the size seems a bit ahead of the curve.

As soon as they eyes are open I'll get you all some new pictures.

Cinnamon, the good aunt

Cinnamon is trying so hard not to mess with Carmen's  babies. I think she's getting the protective auntie thing down  pretty good.

Thumb cutter strikes again

I snipped off the babies dewclaws this morning.  It's an unpleasant task,  but we feel it's a worthwhile one.  David tried to keep mama occupied and not hearing what I was doing, but it's stressful for her. 

This litter is by far the wiggliest batch I've done.  I thought I was going  to ear dock a couple of them by accident! Glad it's done.  Everyone is napping now.
