Another update

I absolutely love my prison job. It is so cool. This is the same prison where a couple pups I donated were trained. Let's see...what else is going on.

-Maureen went to her forever home. Although she did pass her hip testing, I decided not to keep her back for breeding. I love my day job and want to scale back my breeding program.
-DaVinci had surgery to remove some skin cancer. The vet says it is not hereditary and it is not something he could pass to his puppies.
-Francie did not get pregnant.
-Tucker is a daddy. He mated with a southern girl.
-Peanut is in labor. This is my first nondoodle litter and I'm excited.
-A neighbor brought over a Chihuahua last week. This little dog just wondered into his home through his doggie door. He has an 8 ft privacy fence. Now just tell me how she managed to scale that fence to get in his yard. I'll tell you what I think. I think Grandma died and the family didn't want to mess with her elderly dog so they tossed her into Travis' back yard. Travis (neighbor) has an immunosuppressed dog and couldn't keep a stray around. I took her thinking it wouldn't take too long to find her family. I carried her around the neighborhood talking to neighbors hoping someone would come running out saying "there is my baby". Well, not only did that not happen, I found a dirty matted stray Shih Tzu. One of the neighbors said they have seen him wondering around for a while. Man...what else could I do? I took him home. I kept him for a week before turning him over to the Shih Tzu rescue. They put him in a foster home and are going to adopt him out. In the time I had him I gave him 3 baths, worked out his mats, de-flea'd him, de-wormed him (he was crawling with fleas and his poo was crawling with wiggly worms), and gave him lots of lovin'. He was a friendly happy little guy and he will make a terrific pet. Unfortunately he is still intact and he and Bradly had a pee war going on. Anyway, back to the stray Chihuahua...well I'll save her for another post. Anybody want a chihuahua?
I'm sure there is lots more to tell, but I need to get up and get cleaning.
