Home Crate
When one chooses to love, one also chooses by default, to let go. That is the inconvenient detail, the fine print that seems so inconsequential in the beginning and so ominous in the end. It is almost time for me to let go; Bianca’s puppies have reached six weeks of age and in two weeks they will be going to their new homes.
Out the door
Many milestones have been reached and passed in those six weeks. Eyes have opened, teeth have erupted, walking has been mastered, the vocabulary of barking and growling has enabled verbal social interaction to take place, first vaccinations have been given and an appointment has been set for the final well-puppy checks and interstate travel papers that
some will need.
Different smells
As I entrust each of these puppies into the loving hands of their new parents there will be a mixture of sadness and joy. The house will be just a bit empty and my heart just a bit melancholy, but other houses will be fuller and other hearts will be happier and as I think about it, I realize that is exactly why I set out on this adventure.
Following Uncle
Sharing the Kooiker beauty, exuberance and love is a wonderful privilege. You can expect that I will repeat the experience in the future, so those of you who did not get a puppy to warm your home this time can count on another chance in the future.
Mama!
Be sure to enjoy this week’s adventure pictures: escaping from the laundry room to roam the house and playing in the back yard.
