We took Honey’s pups to the vet this morning for their first shots and full check ups.  All their hearts sounded good, ears and teeth looked good!  There are still 3 from this litter looking for homes.  I will post new pictures today or tomorrow!

I just found out that another one of the puppies we are raising is going into therapy work.  Foxy (one of Wrap’s girls) is going to live with a lady who teaches an animal therapy elective at a college near her home.  Foxy will be going with her to class to be a living example of therapy training and then will get to use her skills!

We are so excited about all the good work our wonderful puppies are going to be able to do.  Collies are exceptional around kids and are quick to learn which makes them perfect to help humans!  We couldn’t be more proud to see our little ones grow up to spread their love to lots of lots of people that need encouragement – whether it is autistic children, children with learning challenges or people in hospitals that just need a friend to come cheer them up.  Collies love unconditionally and we know (because they have already proven how much love they have in their young lives) that they will have lots of love to pass on!

Can you tell I am excited!?!

One of Honey’s sons, Bentley was featured recently on his local news channel for his work as a therapy dog.  You can see Bentley here:

We also found out that one of Honey’s pups will start therapy training as soon as she goes to her new home in a couple of weeks!  Her name is Lady and she will be mainly working with autistic children.  To learn more about Lady’s new home and their wonderful work with autistic children and their families, visit

Wrap’s puppies went outside for the first time today.  They enjoyed exploring a little, but were anxious to get back to their enclosure in the house.  They also had their first solid food and they gobbled it up!

Honey’s puppies made the 3 1/2 hour trip to Austin on Friday to visit the animal eye doctor.  They all had good reports and the eye doctor confirmed there was no evidence of CEA – which we knew would be the case since King is a non-carrier and Honey is normal-eyed and this means none of their puppies can ever have CEA!

We left 4 puppies with their new owner.  They will be evaluated and possibly have show careers!  It seems strange just counting to 5 now instead of 9!
