The
past few days have been quite demanding
with a couple of patients here at the
Rocksett Home (hence the few updates). But
fortunately now everyone and everybody has
recovered to a large extent and I can
finally finish this webpage that I already
started in the middle of this week ;-).

After
doubting and pondering long, I
finally settled the matter last
weekend (with help from my sister)
of the pedigree names for this
T-litter. Every time I have
puppies, I find it very difficult
to pick the nicest possible names:
I always end up with a gigantic
list and cannot seem to make up my
mind about which ones I like best.
But anyway, I again managed to
make a choice and this morning a
letter from the Dutch Kennelclub
arrived confirming that all the
names were approved. Which doggy
gets what name will only be
decided during the chipping, which
will happen in about a month. But
the names I can reveal here
already:

The
puppies themselves don’t care
much about name issues ;-), they
are busy growing and developing.
And they are good at that! They
all weigh appr.
1 kilo
now, have their eyes open which
gives them more expression in
their little faces. Only a few
more days and they will start
wobbling straight out of the
whelping box…
