We've Only Just Begun... 12 weeks go by so quickly and the day comes filled with so many emotions.  It's time to say "so long" to Mom and "hello" to wonderful new homes, families, and adventures.  On their day, each pup had a few moments with Mom before setting off...and it also gave me some moments to send each pup off with special secret wishes ;-)  Every pup left with toys and parts of bedding from home to make the transition a little smoother...and from what I've heard everyone is doing great.  I am incredibly blessed with wonderful people who now share their lives with these fabulous pups.

First, Emma left..and that was a very rough night for all of us even though we knew she was going to have an incredible home (where she is now known as "Abby" ;-)...then Bliss left..and more tears flowed but they were tears of happiness for the wonderful home she had and we knew we'd see her again since she will be a show girl.  When it came time for Beau to leave everyone was a little better adjusted..but not much...even though we knew he was destined for a great life and doing agility and obedience ;-) Lark and Desiree were together for a few weeks and they thought they were the most special pups in the world because they had Mom and the rest of the house to themselves..but, not for long....
