Well Little Flower is 10 weeks old.  She spends her entire day outside of her pen.  She only goes in there at night and when I leave the house for a while.  Since she has "out grown" the pen.  I have taken it down and she is being Upgraded to a kennel.  She will only go in there at night and when I have to be gone for more than an hour. You could say this is crate training.  She should do very well, and this will help with her potty training.  Which she is doing very well on!

Taking down the pen, was kind of sad.  Made me miss having infant puppies.  They arn't babies anymore.  They are toddlers.  This is the most fun stage. They want to play, follow you around and kiss you to death.  But i do miss the cuteness of the infant stage.

I have gotten a bit of interest in her this week.  She has gotten inquiries from as far as California!  Nothing is official yet, she is still available.  I do find it so neat how far and wide this website reaches.

When I had this litter, I didn't think I would be shipping any of them.  I am in the middle of a couple major cities, I though for sure they would stay local.  Now I find myself looking into airlines and good deals on crates.

I do find this opens a whole new field of worry.  When you meet people you can rest assured you are sending to a good home.  Shipping them, means I have to hope it all works out.  I don't get to meet the new mom or dad.

So please don't fault me for being a worry wort, Breeders have to watch out for so many scams involving the shipping of puppies. A very common one is for someone to send "extra" money on the money order.  You cash the money order and give them the extra cash and your beloved puppy.  Only to find out later that the money order was a fake.  Your out cash and a puppy. 

So if you ever wondered why some breeders are so picky about the type of money order, that is why.  There is also the reason that not all banks accept all money orders. As strange as it sounds it is true.

Yea, I know...... A whole bunch of stuff you probally don't want to know!  But I figure if your reading this your probally still in the "looking" phase of finding a pup, and you probally have a lot of questions.  I can atleast answer one of two.

So if you do have any questions about why we breeders do this or that, email me.  I will answer as best I can.
