The Ritz kids turned 8 weeks old TODAY!!! They are full blown puppies in every way and oh so much fun and oh so ACTIVE!!!!
They had a huge week. On Monday, they had their final family foto's taken - all day process - thank you to my mom and sister who always gamely help me. On Tuesday, they had their final check up with the veterinarian. I have a whole page of things we look at and make notes about which you will get a copy of. I'm always the most worried that they all have good hearts and lungs, but everyone passed that with flying colors. On Wednesday, my friend Sarah who is working on getting her dog judging certificate, and her dad, Bill, who IS an AKC judge came over to help me 'assess' the litter. WOW, was that fun!!!! We stacked them all up, went over each little body part, then took them outside in the big play yard so they could run and jump and show off for the judges, all just so the judges could tell me which of them should be a 'SHOW DOG"!!! The best part is that they said things like, "WOW, this is such a deep litter- so MANY could be show pups", and 'are yours always this correct?' and "the ones that have cosmetic flaws could be show dogs too if you weren't sooo pickey"!!! YEAH!!!!!! I think the gist of it is that Flamenco and Wolfgang done good!!!!
Next week they can start coming home. Be sure to let me know if one of these little guys should have YOUR name on it!!!!
