The photo on the left sums up this feeling. It shows my littlest brother Luke and one of our puppies. His face is one of amazement and surprise, you can almost hear him say "Mummy, look! It's a puppy. Can I play with it?". I guess at these words and thoughts seeing as I am 300 miles away and he can't actually speak yet. These photo's offer me a chance to take part in his life, my family's life and the animal's lives. I can see what I can only imagine from my Cornish coastal town.
It is interesting then to note that, to our puppy owners and people that enquire about our horses and dogs, this is all they see too. Maybe that is why I felt it was so important to create this blog and to connect to you guys out there.
Selling puppies is always strange as it is me who usually deals with the enquiries and begins the initial contact. So when I have to say that actually I won't be around for this stage and that stage, I do feel a sadness. I am missing out on the puppies growth and meeting their potential mummys and daddys. This was particularly prominent with Amber's last litter as I spent 6 weeks checking they were feeding, going to the toilet and just generally cooing over their little black paws and noses, when all of a sudden I had to leave to go to University. They were truly a remarkable litter and seeing photo's of them now in their homes fills me with pride and joy.
Bringing puppies into the world is one of the most amazing experiences of my life and I don't think I will ever grow tired of the excitement and joy they bring :) I only hope that next time I shall get to spend more time with them.
I mean, look at that face!
