day 63 -final day here for last pup

Well that is our last puppy away to her home now and the place is very quiet. Millie is subdued and slightly unsettled, but will see Freya tomorrow which should help.

So, we have…
Rosie in Holm who has a great family that she has settled in well with. Rosie always seemed like the show dog girl of the litter, so will be interesting to see how she turns out as she grows up.
Moxi who just left today and is going to a young family in Kirkwall. Moxi will be seeing a little of Winston which is great for them. Both have a lot of energy and Moxi seems particularly quick witted.
Alfie who went yesterday to his home in Kirkwall where he is wowing two small weens with his antics. I tried not to be, but was most attached to this wee lad. Another great match to a great family household.
Twist in Shetland is living with 3 lurchers and a cat, playing football and running free and a great excuse for us to visit Shetland.
Ella living in Kirkwall and has been shopping and socialising as well as attending the Christmas Ba’. Not bad at all.
Winston in Burray to a lovely home with a fine Wheaten Terrier as well. When he grows up a bit I think the difference Winston lacks in bulk will be made up for in speed! And Moxi on hand too is superb.
Finally Freya is staying local with my folks which has ended up a fantastic solution for our last pup to find a home. We hung off re-advertising and considered ourselves first of all, but we need to be realistic and as both working full time and kids busy too, it made sense and the folks are over the moon too. We also will be able to mutually help out each other with training and holiday cover. It’s worked out well. Millie will also see one pup regularly which will help her as well I think.

So all in all quite an experience for us all. No losses, all healthy and lively, really good homes found for all and a big weight off our minds.
Thanks to all those that helped and gave advice including Chris and Sue, Linsay, Jen, Sarah, Fiona Keith, Jan Gillies, Colina and Hagan.

But most of all to Millie who has been an unbelievably good Mum.

    what a lovely story about all the pups. All have lovely cute names.The pup I liked was the one with the white front paws. Maybe that is the pup granny has ? Sad to know they have all gone now, How the weeks have past, an a good job done by all especially Hagen and Millie.

    It was odd not being attacked by moxie this afternoon when we were past! A huge congratulations to all you Casely clan on raising some very well rounded puppies! Totally taking the lads up to meet Freya!!

      Thanks Linsay! Ewan is asking to see Moxie too, seemed to be his and Millies favourites perhaps? It was odd to see the house empty again, but has been great to catch up with one or two already. All doing well as far as we hear, which is great.
      Ella is sitting, giving a paw and walking on a lead already! Well done Fergus.
