Additional Comments: It is with mixed emotions, that I announce the birth of our new Corgi puppy. We've been anticipating her arrival for several weeks now, but have had to suffer the loss of our Siamese male & our St Bernard female. Both from old age & illness. The anticipation of a new puppy has given us something to look forward to & we got the phone call this evening. At the time of the call, there had been 4 puppies born. 2 confirmed females, 1 confirmed male & one still too wet & covered in slime to tell. There is a good possiblity that there might be more than 4, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out for sure. We get second pick of the litter & I'm hoping the runt will be a female. Juniper was the runt of her litter & I love runts! Cameron & I will probably get to see the newborns in a week or so & bring our new baby home in mid march. I feel like a new Mom & it really gives us something good to think about after the pain we have been through in the past couple of weeks.

THANK YOU, Bess & Bo!...............Liz

OOPS! That should be Bess & MO.................Sorry MO..............Liz

Mo said OK...no problem ! When can you officially adopt the new little one ? Also, OT...you probably know about this, but there are some chew bones, Booda Vel vet, that are made of flavo red cornstarch, so if the dog bites off too much and it gets stuck its throat, the bone dissolves since it's cornstarch...since Mo is a Pitt, his jaws are poweful, to say the least, he loves his Boodas and we can give them without worry...in fact, he can even recognize now when we SPELL Booda....smarty pants !!

Well Queen Elizabeth! Best thing you could do is get that puppy. You will just love her I know and it really does help mend that ache. When I had to put my little Stormy down last year I was so brokenhearted. I thought I'd never get over it but now that we have our new puppy I feel so much better.

That is so very exciting. When I was growing up we had a Labrador Retriever years ago that was a female runt and she was the absolutely sweetest dog. I will look forward to pictures!

How exciting... a new puppy. :) I'm sure Toffee will provide a lot of chuckles and happiness with her puppy antics. And I'm also sure that Juniper will be smiling down at her too, happy that you've found each other. I'm looking forward to the pics.

I had been told the puppies were due on or around January 26th & by golly, they were born on January 26th. Mama Mazie quit at 4. There are 3 girls & one boy. 2 of the girls are black, tan & white, one girl is mostly black & the boy is tri-colored as well. We are taking a tri-colored girl & we plan to name her Toffee. The guy I work with told me they are chubby & healthy. Mama Mazie & babies are doing fine. I loaned him my digital camera so he can take a bunch of pics tonight, so hopefully, I'll have pics tomorrow. I will need help uploading them here, so someone had better volunteer. LOL! I'm an idiot at these things.

I'm always so saddened by the loss of pets. Though you'll carry them forever in your heart, I'm sure your new "baby" will help heal the wounds of your losses. Congratulations and much happiness is wished for you.

I've always had pets & each loss is irreplaceable, but those babies help ease the pain & they claim a part of your heart just like those that came before them...............Liz
