I always feel like 8 weeks sneaks up on me. I am surprised at how quickly they grow and learn and then it’s time to kiss them one last time and send them off to their new homes.

The first of the puppies will be leaving late next week and so I am cherishing each and every day with them.

They are bold, curious, sweet, and smart – just as they should be.

We are putting in a new run so we have a second space over the winter months – the babies enjoyed playing in there today so naturally I took my camera along 🙂

My friends Lisa (Youngsong Beagles) and Jenni (OutWest Beagles) had a litter that I had my eye on. I told them if there was an “extra” girl, to let me know as the dam Blanche, is a 1/2 sister to my Callie and Murphy.

Blanche was bred to an old famous 13 inch dog PD – BIS BISS Kowtown’s High Speed Chase – the son of Ben (BIS BISS Kahootz Chase Manhatten). Her pedigree ties in to mine so well, and I will be forever grateful for their generosity in sharing one of their precious girls with me.

This week, Miss “Dorothy” arrived in Seattle – she stepped off the plane and into our hearts

So introducing “Youngsong Chasing Dreams at OutWest” – her call name will be Skylar
