You know what else I was reminded of this weekend....that they are all perfect. This is a nice litter and I've spend the last so many weeks checking this, comparing that, scrutinizing reach, front, bone, length of this or that, curves, heads etc. etc. etc..... because after all, we can't keep them all. It's a large litter, so the first week or so was almost round the clock to make sure all of the bellies were full (they were, I didn't need to worry). And you know what it's like when people start to visit, you want everything (house, grounds etc.) p-e-r-f-e-c-t for visitors, although I doubt they are expecting Martha Stewart. Still, for the past two weeks starting with puppy visits I've been channeling my inner Martha for visitors. In short, my rear was dragging, and one more week to go, lol. On Saturday, after the fourth family left I stopped to look around at such a glorious fall day, surrounded by the remaining lovely puppies and the joy these families shared was so precious. For once, I didn't see backs, croups, shoulders etc. I didn't think maybe this or that could be a little different. I just saw perfect. I'm going to take a few long walks this week with a few perfect dogs, count my blessings and just enjoy!
