Needless to say, this is not our family, but it is two 7 year old Hounds of Heaven dogs.

A very good time was reported by all.

 All the dogs did not cooperate with good pictures - or perhaps it is more accurate to say the photographer did not get decent pictures of all the hounds.

The pups of the Presidents' Day Litter are 7

Myrna, the mom

Two weeks before the whelping Myrna was jumping over 40 inch gates, because she was the boss and needed to be over there.  This has not changed in 9 years.  This was the litter that came with a large surprise: 16 pups, of which 14 were viable.  We were expecting about 12, but when the pups went into distress after the first was whelped an emergency c-section resulted in 15 more.  The clinic was busy with everybody (and I do mean everybody) resuscitating puppies for hours.

Cuilke is still with us, but we do not have a recent picture.

Erlina is 2 years old !

 

At one year we were amazed that she was  still with us:  If you can't remember the details, you can read backwards from that blog post.

However, she is still with us at 2 years old and full of life.  Here is a brief movie of her antics yesterday and today.
