11:11.......Make a Wish!!!!!

In our family,  the Number 11 seems to be our dominate or lucky number.
We were married on the 11th
Our daughter was born on the 11th
Emma's hockey jersey number was 11.
Macey's last littler was 11 puppies.  
And now this one too!!!
On New Year's Day at about 2:30 am,  all the excitement died down,  Macey had 10 puppies and was thoroughly exhausted and everyone was doing great so I went to bed. 
At about 6:00am I got up to check on everyone and TA-DA.........number 11 had snuck in during those 3 1/2 hours.  Not only was it a complete amazement to me that she could have had another puppy but, we had a family who has been waiting for a cream male for almost 2 years and guess what Number 11 was???  YUP! Exactly what they were hoping for.  The family has been here and seen him and are so happy.  

Besides hanging out with puppies for 6-8 weeks,  meeting the families is one of my most favorite part of this venture.  Seeing the children's eyes when they are surprised by their parents to choose a puppy is probably one of the greatest sites I have ever seen!!  I had a young guy here a few years ago,  his dad has asthma so he knew early on that he would never have a dog.  His dad started coming here to see if the "doodles" really were easier on his allergies and once he decided that he did not react to the puppies.......It was ON!!  That young man was so overcome and to this day is so happy to have his dog. 

 

​The stories like that are endless to anyone who raises animals or really,  I guess, anyone  who is involved with other human's. 

Knowing that I am about to meet so many new people, learn their stories, see those faces light up is what Im looking forward to.

In the meantime,  4:30am feedings with warm snuggly puppies............not a bad deal!!

Any questions about any of these newbies,   just let me know. 
I'll be introducing the ones who are not already chosen soon. 
​For now,  they are just doing their thing........eating and sleeping!
Peace Out!
