Sadie’s Shichon Girls

Finally!!! Pictures of the three female Shichon puppies from Sadie & Sebastian’s litter. They are ready for their new homes now!

These are all the absolutely sweetest girls. They are great with their bath and amazing with all the details of grooming.

They have been socialized with my 11 year old (they love to hang out on his bed), and we’ve started on the crate training.

They are all going to be fairly small, from 12-16 lbs.

Elle, medium size girl.

Sassy, smallest girl.

Dakota, largest girl.

I love all of them!

New Blog Features

I’ve added a couple new features to the blog and I wanted to talk about them so nobody is confused or worried if they notice their name OFF of the waiting list.

Because the Cavachons are so popular, we receive deposits very early in the process, sometimes even before puppies are born.  Then, little by little, people choose their puppies, and I’ve made that notation within the waiting list on the right column here on the blog.  I’ve noticed that when the list is long, and it is riddled with puppies that have been matched, and families that are still waiting, it becomes a little confusing to figure out whose turn it is to choose a puppy, and which puppies are still available.

I’ve added a new section on the right column called “Reserved Puppies”.  Once a family has selected their puppy, their name will be removed from the waiting list and added to the Reserved Puppy list.  This will help the waiting list to not be bogged down, and it will truly reflect those that are actually still “waiting” to select a puppy.

I also added a little section called “Upcoming Litters”, which will list any upcoming litters, the parents, breed, and month that the puppies are due. 

I hope these new changes help the website be more streamlined, precise, and organized.  Any feedback welcome!

Dusty Desktop

We had a friend over for supper tonight and after we ate, she shared a blog post with me about a simple filing system. My ears perked right up because my office is in terrible order and I don’t think I’ve filed a paper properly for over a year or more! Moving day is coming and I need to feel somewhat organized, so I attacked my desk and the top drawer of my filing cabinet and shredded like a mad woman all the papers that were stealing my spaces. What was left was dust, dust, dust on my desktop. I plan to attack the dust tomorrow. At least I can see surface area now! It’s not perfect, but it’s a great start!

Morning Motion

This morning began early at 5 am. I have Brady and Hallie in the house because Hallie is receiving eye meds 3x daily and Brady is being Accelerated. They were crated together last night and woke me up early.

Hallie & Brady

Once I got Brady and Hallie pottied on the UGO, I made their space a little bigger so they could play.

Isn’t Brady so cute?

Then it was bath time for Bobby and an older Shichon puppy. They are both getting neutered this morning. I gave Bobby a bath while Daryl trimmed the hair off the Shichon.

Bobby after the blow dry. Not a happy camper.

Prisoner to the dryer:(

Then I gave the Shichon a bath. He is 8 months old and has a cherry eye that will also be fixed today. Sorry the picture is blurry. He did NOT like the bath AT ALL and was trying to escape the whole time.

A cherry eye is when a flap of skin, the inner eyelid, moves out of position. They will tuck this back under with a couple of stitches and he’ll be good as new!

The puppies always look like wet rats when they get a bath.

We need a name for this Shichon boy. He’s from Sadie & Sebastian’s previous litter.

My morning has just begun. The blow drier is on the Shichon right now and he is tolerating it quite well. We still have to drive to the vet then come home to do eye meds, feed, clean, and take new puppy pictures.

We are also rehoming 7 adults this week that all need to be wormed! Things are always moving’ at SPK!!
