Sydney , her 10 pups and her little dragon

Syd’s temp. dropped late Sat. early Sun. By Mon. am she had not progressed any further. I took her to my repro. vet to have an ultrasound and check the puppies heart rates to make sure they were not in distress.
They all sounded fine, I opted for a C-section because Syd had already been in stage 1 labor for 36 hours. I did not want to take the chance of her tiring out and still maybe having to go in and get 1 or more pups.

I have never had to do a C-section and it was very interesting. The ultra sound showed 4…I guessed 6. Well just about the entire staff and myself were needed to help once the pups were delivered…..We had pup after pup!!! For a total of 10 puppies!!!!! 6 boys and 4 girls.

Sydney and the pups are all settled in at home now and Syd. is the very best mom!!! She woke up and started cleaning them right off the bat. Good girl Syd!!!!

Josephine I & II and little Andy are doing great. They enjoy stretching their legs and soaking up the lovely California sunshine.

Here is our new little Papillon girl. She is just 8 weeks old and quite the little spitfire!!!! She is already tugging and retrieving. We have not settled on her registered name yet……

It’s been six months since Shredder has gone to the rainbow bridge and
Daneen has been in the loop at agility shows. She has been working with
Shred’s son Masher and they went to their first Show and Go today!!! It
was a gorgeous  typical Souther California day!! Here is Mashy’s
jumpers run. They are still working weaves so they skipped them today.
Mashy shows lots of potential and definite shades of his momma. Taboo
was there today also and runs alot like her mother!!!! Beautiful
weaves!!!!!

We Cruised up the East Coast to see the Fall Colors. It was beyond beautiful.

We went to the Winterfest this year and had such a good time. Fri. SeaB was WD/BOW and Cole was BoB . Sat. SeaB was WD/BoW, Tirzah was BoB and Cole was BoS. Sun Tirzah was BoS. This was Breaker’s first time in the ring and he showed his little heart out! He was RWD on Fri.
