Almost Home

Just heard that Omeeka and her gal pal Cara are on their way home from Santa Rosa. I'm sure they will be happy to be home. Next up, the girls will have their ultrasound at the end of February to confirm pregnancy.

Call It A Hunch

It's a big day for Omeeka! She has a date with Terrence the Black Lab today. With Terrence in mind, my hunch is that an Omeeka pup with a black lab sire might look something like this:

Yes, that is my very own boy, Yorba, the lab golden cross from Ember x OMSI. Yes, that's right OMSI, little O's big brother. All grown up now, Yorba has a long narrow face just like Omeeka.

With Yorba going off to CCI college on Feb 12 AND if all goes as planned, I will be ready for Omeeka and her pups in late March.

Stay tuned for breaking news as it occurs!

Tis The Season For Omeeka

Sweet Omeeka has gone into heat. Soon she'll be on her way to Santa Rosa to meet her new beau. If all goes as anticipated puppies may arrive in late March! Woooooooooowhooooooooooo! It's been nice for little "O" to have a bit of a puppy break, she is one hard working mama.

Ten Gorgeous Goldens!

Cindy captured the fabulous litter picture with a little help from her friends!!

We are enjoying our final day with the wonderful O litter. Tomorrw Cindy and Valle will pick up Omeeka and her pups for their final week before they start their adventure at the NW Puppy Park on September 14th. It will be a very busy day for Cindy and Valle as they are turning in Caro's L litter before picking up Omeeka, the O pups, and Vito. Whew! As the O's head out, it is bittersweet. Omeeka and her puppies have been a joy to have for the past few weeks, but as the pups grow up, their need for nurturing and one on one attention becomes more challenging, not to mention that the poop from 10 pups can be daunting!

Adventures In "O" Land

The "O"s are soon off to new adventures but for today they had a great time playing outside. Olina showed her sister Onora how to climb onto a chair. They were so proud! Otto enjoyed carrying around his toys. We let some of the pups play on the grass today, one at a time and closely supervised. They really enjoyed playing on the grass and walking in the dirt. No time for pictures of that big adventure as the pups are way too young to learn to swim with the big dogs!

O's On The Move

Otto, Ohana, Orin, Oz, Oma, Olina, Ossa, Omar, Onora, and Osirus are enjoying the cool weather this morning out on the patio. Yesterday, they were disappointed when the mercury topped the century mark and they had to move inside to their smaller but cooler puppy pen. All are doing well with only some minor tummy upsets as they get used to life without their mother's milk. Omeeka has done a fantastic job with her puppies and now she gets some down time before she starts litter number three. Six weeks old tomorrow, the time has flown by!

Playing Outside

The "O" litter enjoyed some quality play time this morning in their new pen on the patio.
