Puppy Report - Graduation Week

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with New Paradigm Partners LLC EB #1326335

The Criminal Element is down to three members.

Three of the guys - Flo, Amy & Ernie - left with our friends Mark & Anne last Wednesday, headed for the Left Coast and the beginning of their great adventures. Reports from the road indicated a smooth and easy trip. Yesterday, two more - Wanda & Madonna - were picked up by their new families here in Fort Collins. And next Thursday, Bertha leaves for Chicago. That will leave Grover & Bert. Bert is going to be staying with us until June 5th, when his new owners will return from a trip - until then, he'll be an honorary member of our pack.

I think I needed it to happen this way, with a gradual tapering off. It has been an awesome 8 weeks, full of love and puppy kisses and play and snuggling - it's a good thing Mary is letting me keep Grover (and probably a good thing it's her call - I would probably have kept all 8).

So this is our final regular puppy report. After this, it will just be My Dog Grover, and I'll do that on occasion, just like you all do. And we may have a few supplemental reports when Grover, Bert, Madonna and Wanda get together for play dates. Until then, thanks for tuning in and sharing the fun.

Dick, I have enjoyed seeing the pups grow, learn and enter into their new lives. I know you will keep us in the loop of Grover and Lulu's adventures.

I'm going to miss the puppy reports, but I'll be looking forward to the supplemental ones. Which one is the white one? He's still a beast. He's going to be a big dog.

Thank you for sharing your puppy tales, they sure are a great looking litter.  It's always sad to see them go, but at least it was gradual.  It's great you were able to document their activities with video shots!

Dick, They've spread across the country!  Right now we're fostering an itty bitty kitten, orange and white.  Within 2-3 days she went from PFFFFT!!! to purrs, and after a week with us she follows us all over the bedroom (can't give her access to the rest of the house, not sure the normal feline residents would approve).

Awwww. Grover is going to is miss all his siblings. What a fun time it has been watching these little ones grow up. Your house is going to be so quiet pretty soon. I'm sure Grover will keep you on your toes Thanks for sharing the journey.

Hi Dick, We have all enjoyed these video updates on the little ones. Grover will provide lots of cool updates though as he discovers the world and you capture it.

Hi Dick,

What a group of healthy and happy puppies. They will go to good homes as I am sure you screened the homes. They will be beautiful and make wonderful pets once they stop the chewing. God love those aching baby teeth!

The white one in the big pot is just the cutest thing I have ever seen. i always cried when one left so be strong.
