Pregnancy Confirmations

I LOVE the milestone weeks! And here we are crossing another big one….ultrasound confirmations. I am happy to announce that this week we have POSITIVE ultrasound confirmations on both Meiko and Isla. I am thrilled beyond believe with this news and more so thrilled to be able to share it will you all. Leia will not be able to be confirmed until next week but I am also crossing my fingers for another positive pregnancy with her as many families are waiting for all these amazing pups. This is not a pup count but simply a confirmation of pregnancy. This journey has started for the families awaiting this next chapter this summer and I am honored to be able to be part of it all. Meiko’s SPICE pups are due June 6th and Isla’s BEACH pups are due June 12th.

Here are some photos of past Meiko/Tonka and Isla/Tonka pups.

It's been a bit of a nerve-wracking week for the breeder in me as many of my fellow breeders have not been having the same positive successes in their programs recently. Mother nature has its own path and its own destiny with how everything plays out. I do everything in my power to try to sway things in the direction that I’ve worked so hard at laying out but I simply hand over the biggest power in the end result as that is out of my hands. My heart goes out to my fellow breeder friends as they work through numerous challenges as they do their very best in aligning the stars in their favor. I feel extremely blessed to have these pups coming to us all very soon.

With the positive confirmations of babies ahead and the positive energy of this amazing weather combined, we have been buzzing with excitement around here. Neema and Anya have been attached at the hip but a notch above this week as their chase roll and chew each other’s legs off. It makes me tired just watching them play! Tonka took his turn in the romping and had a blast being in the mix of the wonderful chaos.

The mamas stayed by my side as if they knew they were already protecting their little ones that were on the way. and Meiko contently, safely and regally set herself up top her spools away from all the craziness just as she likes it.

Meiko was showered with love with a visit from her future forever humans this week which she immensely enjoyed and displayed her famous ‘smiles for miles’ look to them both. They are very much anticipating her arrival later this summer.

For all the Isla fans out there that either have an Isla pup or just adore her from a distance, she as well will be looking for her forever home next year. So, dream and plan ahead if you at all are thinking or pondering of bringing in a 2nd dog or/and a playmate for your Isla pup. She’s absolutely perfect in every way shape and form. Wherever Isla lands, this family will be blessed beyond the stars with this amazing lovely girl.

As I plan for pups ahead I also plan ahead for the things I will not be able to tend to in the near future once pups consume every waking moment of my time.  Yard work gets done in masses this week,  branches burned,  seeds planted in the garden,  animal pens thoroughly cleaned and everything prepped to the nine. I take what I learned last year when I had 3 litters and alter, change,  improve and find ways to make things run even smoother this time round. The dogs are pretty content to play and then nap in the sunshine while I work in the yard. Even though they would prefer that I stay and directly play with them all day long.

Leia gives me those puppy dogs eyes that she works hard core on me when leave. I spend lots of snuggle time in the evenings though that they soak up with everything that they have. If they aren't right in my lap they definitely are not far away. This is truly the best soul connecting breed. 'Golden' in every way.

We all send our very best to everyone this week as they venture out into the summer months hopefully filled with adventure, success, happiness and dreams of what's ahead.
