8 Weeks Old!

Kopa and Kila have left the building. Cheryl Brown and Carie Taylor came to visit us on Tuesday and spent a few days enjoying Chicago with me. We were able to meet several of the Chinook boys that live in our area and eat at Geja's, my favorite fondue restaurant, in Chicago one evening.

Kopa ended up being lighter than most of our boys at 8 weeks, weighing in at 12# and 9 oz. Kila is just over 15#, which is average for Jade's girls. The puppies did amazingly well at the airport, even with a flight delay of several hours. They even did well on the plane, despite no working a/c for their 4.5 hour flight. It was a really long day for everybody!

I was very happy to hear that the pups were accepted with ease by their new packs. It sounds like they are having fun playing with their new humans and brothers and sisters. So, this should be the last update on the blog for a while. Enjoy these new photos.

Seven Weeks Old!

Yes, I'm tardy again with my update! Sorry to those of you who have been following the pups.

Kopa and Kila saw the vet today for their first shots, second worming and final check up before leaving for their new homes. Both puppies got clean bills of health and all of the staff at the vet thought they were the most adorable babies. The pups were PERFECT in the car and at the vet, not even a potty accident even though they were running around for nearly 45 minutes.

I'm working on better pictures, but it's just been so hot, muggy and miserable, not to mention thunderstorms with tornado warnings almost daily for the past week...we just haven't been able to get any good outdoor photos. Cheryl Brown and Carie Taylor - the new owners of the puppies - are coming into town tomorrow and I'm sure they'll be happy to help me take photos.

So, sadly, this is the last update until the pups leave for their new homes later this week. Kila is now 14.5 pounds and Kopa is 12 pounds. They are growing like weeds and both are wonderful pups. I will miss them...yet won't miss the mess. They are potty machines!!!
