The end of Reason (to beat some dogs)

 We finally ended the Silly Season of Fall of 2026 and the pack has joined together once more.

We're sorry for those hoping for a Winter puppy, but these things happen and we're back on the schedule. Lucy will be back on the schedule for Spring. And hopefully we'll be able to put some pounds on Rocky before Spring. He get's so skinny during the Silly Season.

The lack of puppies means we're off work for a few months. Sort of welcomed to see, but  puppies this year are going to be missed.

Seven Sneaky Ways

 

Not mine, but kind fun.

10-11 Update

 10-23 Lucy and Rocky are completely uninterested in each other. So it is propbaly a skipped season. Sorry for those who have been waiting, but this sort of thing happens every now and then.  We will shift the schedule and Lucy will be the focus of things in the Spring season.

10-20  We're not seeing much progress with Lucy and Rocky and it's looking like a skipped season as of today, but we might be wrong. Things may still be happening later on. We're watching carefully.

10-14 So far the Girls have been showing a lot of the signs of being in Season, but Rocky hasn't become the crazy person yet. Pixie started the whole thing, and she might have just been early.  10-16 Rocky went through his crazy week with Pixie's season. We kept them apart and nobody was happy about it. As of 10-20 Lucy holds none of Rocky's attention and she's not very interested in him either. It may be that we're still a bit early, but it also may be that the event is over for the season without success. We did have  some attempts at pairing that ended in violence and that may have been the peak of the season. But it is hard to tell. For now we're of the mind that this Winter won't have a litter and we're going to have to wait until Spring when the Summer litter happens. We're keeping an eye on things and we're sorry to dissappoint those five families on the Wait List today. 

10-14 Lilly is showing signs but she is definetly not on the approved list so we're keeping Rocky locked up for the most part to keep Lilly and Pixie from causing a major distraction. 10-16 Lilly has yet to get into the swing of this season. 

10-14 Lucy is on deck and we're probably seeing stuff happening, but so far she's not interested in anything. So we wait . . . 10-16 Lucy has gone into her season but the only thing Rocky gets for his efforts is his nose chewed and his ears pulled. She is very snarly about it. But things are headed in the right direction.

Keeping Rocky seperated means keeping at least two groups seperated. Honey and Abby keeping Rocky company when he is in segregation kennel without Lucy. Taffee and Lilly keep Clarkbar company at night except when we can get Rocky to come in the house at night. Lucy and Pixie pal around, loose for the most part they swoop by Rocky alot just to tease the poor boy.
