Happy 1st birthday, Jaz!

1 year old! Happy Birthday, Jaz!
Jaz has grown quite a bit! Then: August 16, 2011, only a few minutes old. Now: August 16, 2012, one year old.

It’s hard to believe, but a whole year has passed for our little pup. In fact, a little over a year ago, we weren’t even planning on getting a dog! But we happened to vacation close to the British Lake District that year, where one thing lead to another and before we knew it, the puppy count-down had started. 365 Days ago, Jaz was born, ready to get herself into all sorts of trouble we had no clue about!

Over the past year, Jaz has been doing a lot of barking and growling, a lot of snoozing, a lot of playing and has made a ton of new friends (see here, here and here). But it wasn’t all sunshine and roses, because she also got her ears glued, lost a few teeth, got (and still gets) her hairs pulled and came into season for the first time. Luckily, life eased the pain with a lot of great experiences such as playing in the snow for the first time, venturing out on the water, taking handling and obedience classes as well as allowing her to show herself off after all the hard work.

It has been a wonderful year, may there be many more! We love you!

It’s a girl!!!

Let us introduce London’s brand new baby girl… born today, Tuesday August 16 2011, shortly before 5pm PST:

Is she cute or what?! As you can see, she’s a redhead, just like her mommy! Judy informed us that everything looks good; she’s “full of herself and raring to go”!

Puppy update #3

The vet said mom and pup are both doing great, just marching to the beat of their own drum. Very Canadian, we should have known. In Canada, if you’re supposed to meet someone around 7-ish, this can be anywhere from 7.01 to 7.59. And even then they might be late!

I guess if I was curled up nice and warm inside London’s tummy, I might not want to come out either! However, Judy seems to think tonight is THE night…

Puppy update #2

Hold your horses! Nothing happened over the weekend.

Perhaps the puppy is a little shy… or maybe it wants to make a grand entrance (it’s doing a great job at keeping us all in suspense, for sure!)

Either way, another trip to the vet has been scheduled for today to find out what the holdup is…

Puppy update #1

No birth yet…
Judy took London to the vet today for an ultrasound, because she is late. Judy just wanted to make sure all is okay. There is 1 puppy in London’s tummy. Everything seems well and the puppy is due in the next day or two…
We’ll post more as soon as we hear anything!
