It is the third week and the puppies are getting big!  They have their eyes open, are walking, socializing with each other and paying attention to me.  Bianca is holding up quite well in spite of the increasing demands of her babies. Her caloric demands are impressive, she eats like

Bianca and her 8 pups at one week old.

Today I want to dedicate my reflections to you.  What a cloud of well-wishers you have been and I have so appreciated the kind words sent and have heard the cheering coming in from many places in many voices.  This week has been stressful and emotional

My Little Whale…that’s what I have begun to call Bianca as her belly continues to expand.   As she has grown bigger and rounder she is moving more slowly, although slow to a Kooiker is all very relative. First it was our evening walks that had to be cut, for now, even as the sun drops low on

The season of summer is slowly invading the Georgia Low Country. By noon the landscape steams in the sunshine and often later in the afternoon thunderstorms, which form and grow in the sultry air, growl and rumble through with gusty winds and flickering lightening. Tonight, as I sit at
