And then there was one puppy (our little Honey)

During the Easter weekend we said our last goodbyes to the remaining puppies as we have now found really good homes for all the litter (and we are keeping one ourselves and have christened her Honey).  We have met some really lovely people and have had good feedback (and photographs) from them that their little ones have settled in nicely. I am sure that there have been some disturbed nights but on the whole everything has gone well.  I hope that we will still receive progress reports from them as their puppies grow up with their new families and develop their own little personalities.
So, its goodbye from all of us on the farm and especially from Fern, Willow

and Honey and will just leave you with a few last photographs.

Sunbathing

The top photograph was taken one day last week and the bottom photograph was taken in the sunshine this morning of "Brian" our little boy.

Mixed feelings

On Wednesday we saw four of our little puppies leave for their new homes with mixed feelings - it was sad to see them go as we have grown very attached to them, but on the other hand they have gone to some lovely families and we are very pleased that we have found such lovely people.  We are confident that the puppies will have long and happy lives with them and will bring an awful lot of pleasure to the new owners.  Fern is no longer feeding them and nudges them away until they get the message that the milk bar is now closed.

Playtime

Checking the plants

First of all I must apologise for the blurred images but I am finding it extremely difficult to take photographs quickly enough.  They absolutely love exploring and dashing around the garden - as soon as I let them out of their run they head off in every direction like little wind-up toys. 
They are now having 3 solid meals a day of soaked Beta puppy food - usually at 7.30 am, 1.30 pm, and then about 7.30 pm. and after each meal they enjoy a run in the garden. Fern is giving them the occasional drink and they don't have to be asked twice !
