It felt like a moment of closure for Clay and I, but when it was all said and done, we still had 11 puppies to put back into the shed for a much needed late-morning snoozle. The puppies will be going to their new homes over this next week, gradually bringing our experience in whelping and raising puppies to a close.
Killian went home with his new family today. He was the last adoption to be confirmed, but really he was the first, because Erika had her eyes and heart set on him since the birth day, although she still denies it.
Erika's youngest boy has referred to Killian as "My Killian" ever since he was born, mostly because his mother talked about him all the time.

Fascinating!! I didn’t know that about your home. This morning was fun! It is awesome how everyone loves all the puppies. When their hooman shows up, nobody hesitates to hand over the puppy. Such a fun day!
Love that you refer to us to Della as her puppy thieves 😁
I don't know why I have a lump in my throat.. I am really going to miss their sweet faces, but thrilled they are going to good homes. Such amazing work you guys.
