Puppies are 6 weeks old and Lily is getting big

I'll take more pictures this weekend.

Maya and William's puppies are 6 weeks old today and getting big and active. Ears are coming up, stairs are being climbed, poops are getting bigger....It is a lot of work, but fun. Maya has stopped feeding them for the most part and her milk is drying up. This weekend Betsy and I will do our systematic evaluation for the first time They will go to their forever homes in the next 3-4 weeks. BTW-all of her puppies are sold.

In the mean time Lily is definitely pregnant and her puppies are due in early June. She is getting really big which has us nervous as to how many she will have. Many of you remember that her last litter was 9 puppies. We are not hoping for that many, but I have a feeling she is having more than the 5 that Maya had. The father of Lily's litter is our male Cooper. Cooper is the son of Strider who was the father to Lily's first litter so this litter should be very similar. That is OK as her first litter was filled with many nice dogs both for show and companion. More dogs like those in the world is a good thing. Depending on the size of the litter there may be puppies available, but for the most part they are spoken for unless we have a really big litter.
