9 pups born on December 19, 2005
Mini/Medium Goldendoodle pups from a very small (40 lb) Golden Retriever dam and our white Miniature Poodle sire.
March 4
Mr Beaver is now adopted
February 27
Mr Beaver is still looking for a family
ADOPTED
Mr Beaver is quite the character. He has a great sense of humour and likes to tease both humans and dogs alike. He also likes to "push the envelope" on who is boss, so we keep on top of him. His coat is fairly soft and curly and has already been started with house training. Mr. Beaver may grow to be around the 30 lbs mark.
The story with his eye lid is that it was scratched open by one of his littermates' claws. It grew back together incorrectly and he has required surgery to correct it. The vet states he will be good to go with no ill effects. He still requires one little "tuck" to be done to his eyelid and he can be homed after March 1st. He has become a special little boy to us.
Aslan, CS Lewis, Edmund, Lucy, Mr Tumnus, Narnia, Peter and Susan now have new homes.

We are holding Mr Beaver back until he can undergo surgery to correct his funky-looking turned-in eyelash. Our vet believes it may be due to an injury which did not heal properly received from one of the other pups.

The adventure continues as the pups grow...
Sally's pups are growing up fast... a little too fast for me. They're so darn cute when they're playing. Sally is very doting with her pups and makes sure they're always safe. They're just nicely starting to eat mush if she lets them. The pups wander out of the whelping box now much to Sally's dismay. I think she would like them to stay little too!
At this point there are no pups that really stand out in behavior. Their tendencies change every week at this point in their lives. Sally's and Jag's last litter grew to be 20-55 lbs. so my guess is that Peter and Susan will be on the bottom end, Edmund and CS Lewis on the top end, and the others somewhere in between. Their coats all have a good wave to them (some more than others) which usually gets wavier as the pups get older.

The Chronicles of Sally's Christmas season litter
Sally's pups were born last night. She didn't follow all the regular cues when I saw her last night - her temperature had not gone down and she was not shivering or nervous. So... much to my surprise, when I went to see her this morning she had 9 beautiful pups. They were all quite uniform in size. All were drinking, quiet and happy.
Sally is an amazing mom! She had them all in the whelping box, warm and snuggled in tight. For some reason it was the best night's sleep I had in a long time!!!
Emily was home from school today, sick. She wasn't well enough to go and see them at first so I took pictures of each of them. As I checked them all out I found there are 7 boys, and 2 girls. We decided to name them after the Chronicles of Narnia - (C.S.)Lewis, Aslan, Peter, Edmund, Mr. Tumnus, Narnia and Mr. Beaver for the boys, Susan and Lucy for the girls.
Mr Beaver, Mr Tumnus and CS Lewis discuss
the plot changes in the movie.
