Today as I hung the stockings with care I was reminded of a day 7 years ago when the BrownStone Christmas litter was whelped. Happy Birthday Willy, Lupin, Nala, Rotor, Parker,Suka, Rogue and Copper.
Willy's pup stocking still hangs for the holiday season

the Brownstone Christmas Litter


McKenzie was the best mother

first snow adventure

By day 29, the whelping box walls were no longer an obstacle to adventure.
"meals done - let's go see what we can get into"

day 35 and the milk bar had moved to the bear rug

day 64 - one last meal and tug game with McKenzie before the pups go to their forever homes

A snuggle with Lupin before she leaves - but not the last.
We are so lucky Lupin lives near here and gets to spend time with us. She still snuggles with her mom.
