MOXIE REPORT--- SHE SHOULD COME HERE A WEEK BEFORE HER DUE DATE... AND I
THINK SHE WHELPED IN THE TV ROOM LAST TIME????
Hi Carlene and SDP Family,
Moxie is doing very well. She has put on a bit of weight and is round
like she was before her last litter. Judging by the look of her five pairs of
mommy-parts the cafeteria will soon be open for puppy meals. Moxie seems very
content and relaxed and loves sleeping and eating noticeably more than when
she's not expecting. She still has the energy to following us around the house
night and day as we move from upstairs to downstairs and back again. Her nights
are spent in our room on her cushion at the foot of our bed. If I go downstairs
in the middle of the night for more than a couple minutes she comes down to
check on me.
She's very energetic on walks and trips to the park and always on the
alert for squirrels, but even more happy to sniff and watch for bunnies. Moxie
has pretty much put her joyous sprinting around on lay-away until after the
puppies are born. Even when Piper does her best to annoy Moxie, with her
pestering-"Come on Mom, you want to chase me right?" Moxie just patiently waits
for Piper to stop. But Piper being 7 months old is relentless and usually Moxie
has to gently tell her darling 100+ lbs daughter, without a growl or snarl, to
"Knock it off!" I wish I had such patience.
Most days she loves lounging on the sofa in the living room right under
the window next to the front door steps where she is her typical alert-self
whenever anyone comes up the steps waking from her sound puppy-growing-sleep.
Then, she's up in flash barking her big warning bark at the mailman or the pizza
delivery guy or anyone else that dares enter our domain. After a "Thank you
Moxie, that's enough!" she curls back up into a too-small-for-her-size ball of
fur and is quickly back snoring in slumberland dreaming of family hugs, playing
with Bumpy, nursing puppies, or chasing bunnies.
See you soon.
The Paar Family

i think just to keep the adults at bay we need the fence across the
kitchen door so they can run in and outr the front door without poking their
nose in chaos space.
that will also mean we need to find the 3' fence from tv room to the cash
register -- at least for th e time being. bentley has no manners and rushes
in-- chaos might not like that...
it would also mean a couple of them could be on the sofa next to my
computer... bailey's nose gets out of joint.
2 mothers have never been a problem... so far... we have had 3 in this one
area...
***********
mErlow is here AND IN HEAT...
HERE WE GO.... WOULD CHAOS PLEASE HAVE PUPS BEFORE MERLOW BECOMES
FERTILE...IN MAYBE 7 DAYS... WE NEED A COUNT.... IF CHAOS HAS 1 OR 2 WE SHOULD
BREED MERLOW..
AND WHICH WAY DO WE GAMBLE.? . I WOULD NOT BE THRILLED WITH 3 LITTERS OF
10 EACH.. WE COULD HANDLE 30 PUPS-- IT WOULD BE OUR BANK ACCOUNT THAT WOULD
SUFFER.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL THE EXTRA HELP AND COMPANY HAVING PUPS
PROVIDES--
WE HAVE A MEAT CUTTING STAGE SET UP IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE HERE IN THE
HOUSE.
WE ARE GETTING MORE EFFICIENT ALL TH E TIME...
***************
TYPICAL SUNDAY STEW-- I AM TOLD IT WILL RAIN- WE BETTER GET FIRES GOING IN
THE T-TENT ALSO--
I AM ALSO TOLD PAULA HAS THE TRAINING ROOM FIT TO LIVE IN. SO WE HAVE LOTS
OF OVERFLOW ROOM.
THANKS TO BUD1-- THAT HANGING TREE IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING CHANGED TO
NICE FIREWOOD-- SINCE IT HUNG IN THE TREE FOR A YEAR IT MUST BE DRY...???
IF WE KEEP THE FIRES GOING IN THE TRAINING ROOM AND GUEST CABIN WHEN NEEDED
AND KEEP THOSE OIL FURNACES VERY LOW..IT WOULD HELP-- I THINK OIL IS $3.89--
WHEN I PUT IN THOSE FURNACES THE KEROSCENE WAS $1.15 = AND IF WE RUN TOO MANY
ELECTRIC HEATERS THAT BILL BECOMES HORRIFFIC.

Wow, time flies, been a year already. Just got home this late afternoon
from one of my Grandson's birthday parties. Last year around this time I was
worried how the dogs would behave, Tessa and Lily (my son's mastiff) now they've
seen each other enough this past year to be good old friends both very well
behaved and very careful and gentle as several 2 to 5 year old Children wandered
around some having to look up at the dogs. (The parents and other Grandparents
were noticeably much more at ease this year too!) Just a quick up date to let
everyone know things are going fine here. Sincerely
Al&Tess
