R Litter Born 1/5/98
Some people wait a life time for a
miracle.
We raise them one at a time.
I didn't think I would ever be a Breeder Caretaker again after Issel's heartbreaking
death at only three. Then In February of '98 CCI called and said they needed someone to
foster a breeder named Ola who had 10 three week old pups. Ola's Breeder Caretaker,
Denese C. had
become ill. I murmured "oooooh".... CCI
responded by saying that they had called 27 people and that I was the first person that hasn't said NO
immediately!" Two days later Ola and her 10 pups arrived via Linda
Cortez and Linda Lady who were driving back from Santa Rosa. I had
not met Ola before and the pups were already becoming active little doggies!
Three
days after they arrived I caught the worst flue I have EVER had.... I
remember lying in bed shaking and delusional thinking "are there really puppies in
the garage or is this a dream". Ola took care of them until I
was better?" Here's some great pictures of
Ola's "R" litter between 3
to 8 weeks.

I was worried how my boxer Tailer would react to the new puppies, he wasn't
here for my "I" litter.
Kind of looks like he'd like to read his "Doggie Contract" and see
if puppy setting is covered doesn't it?

Tailer turned out to be a natural at this puppy thing. They were a
constant wonder and surprise to him, he tolerated every annoying behavior
they dished out. Even when all 10 pounced on him and hung by their teeth from his jowls... he just went along with it.... what a good puppy you are Tailer!

First to the water dish is not always a good thing, Rosemary finds out. |

It's difficult to get people to help socialize, who wants to hold a cute,
cuddly, sweet little puppy with puppy breath? But somehow your friends come through
for you.. The "R" litter didn't
lack for socialization.
Good job guys.!

Since I was not the official B/C I lost contact and do not know where all
of Ola's
"R"s are now. HOWEVER many people have been kind enough to
forward updates.... if
any of you have information on the "R" litter... let me
know...send/e-mail me some info or pictures. E-Mail
PoochiePals I would love to hear from
them and I'll be happy to
add updates to the web site.
Roseanne and Rosemany II 2/99 Matriculate into Advanced Training.
(yes, Rosemary you're still my favorite...shhhh don't tell the others)
Remy was in Ola's litter that I
fostered.... his PR was Lauri who just found PoochiePals and forwarded this
message |
"Remy was the
easiest pup of the 9 I raised. Always perfect (I have a picture of him
shaking hands with Tipper Gore). He developed kennel cough as soon as he
entered advanced training, was quarantined for 6 weeks, then released. He
lives with my friend on a ranch east of Sacramento now. Still a perfect
pooch" |
