QUIET PLEASE

We were at a party today...........our party, yes puppies do have parties !!

ARINE'S LITTER, YES LITTLE WINK IS THERE

ECLAT'S LITTER
The sun came out and cleared away the heavy frost from the night before and the puppies were ready to meet all their visitors. The parents had to pry the children away when it was time to go, but the next time they come to Brighthope, they get to take a puppy home. Which one will it be....
We brought all the puppies back inside when everyone left and not even the flash of the camera could bring them out of their slumber.  SSHHHHH !
Dave and I both agreed, we get to meet some really great people because of our Blue Picardy Spaniels.

EARLY MORNING AT BRIGHTHOPE

Grandchildren and puppies are a perfect combination. Eclat's litter was ready for breakfast and  after their tummies were full it was playtime. What a great time we had with grandchildren still in pajamas and messy hair after a good nights sleep we headed to the kennel room for a romp with the puppies.

GROWING AND GOING

The puppies are growing and the washing machine is going and going and going......Ok I will admit two litters at the same time is a lot of work. Eleven sets of toenails to clip takes time, I can do each litter on a different day though. Eclat's puppies have started on goats milk and pablum and lick the bowl clean each time. They were out exploring the family room today and now are fast asleep all tired out from their venture. Arine's litter is at the "drunken sailor" stage but most are finding their feet. I am starting to see different personalities in each puppy. As I said before this time will go quickly and I am starting to think about how to set up the puppy pen for two litters.

ECLAT'S PUPPIES ARE ALMOST TOO BIG FOR THE SCALE

BEST PLACE TO BE AFTER EXPLORING!
