Relaxation

Watching puppies sleep makes me feel good, as if part of me is relaxing too. Wouldn't it be great if I could relax like that and as often as they do, too. I'm in the living room of my home right now with six dogs. Six dogs are laying down and look like they're sleeping. If I make a move they are on the alert, but if I just sit they are totally relaxed. Sweet. They relax on the big pillow, in a dog bed, on the hardwood floor and on the foot stool. They know not to get on the couch. I figure their minds must be pretty clear to be able to relax so completely.

Today I had a phone call from someone who wants an older pup or maybe one out of the next litter. I feel hopeful about selling this next litter. The picture of Skylie in the Ottawa Citizen has been responsible for quite a few calls. When I get my pictures on this computer I'll post some.

Now I'm planning out some breedings. Rascal had no interest in Gracie once Zahra came in heat. I'm going to send Zahra away during her next heat. I need to make absolutely sure there are no 'mistakes' next time. I'm getting a new boyfriend for Gracie. She deserves that after so much rejection from Rascal. She would stand around looking at me seemingly wondering why her best friend was so interested in someone else and not her. I guess maybe that's the problem - they're best friends. Perhaps he didn't want to ruin the friendship!
