Here is Cindy with Dr. Williams. Our vet is so amazing with animals. Cindy was listening to everything the doc said.

Last night, Cindy, Lola, and Umberto tagged along with Amy and a nice woman from Georgia who might be interested in owning a future puppy. Rojo is a neighborhood restaurant that is dog friendly (sitting on the patio at least). We had a nice walk there ("walk" in quotes for the young girls since they shouldn't be walking on the ground in public places just yet ... Parvo and all. When we do outings with puppies before they are fully vaccinated, we stay inside the stroller, or sit in laps and such.) It was a delightful day with highs in 80s for a change (instead of almost 100 degrees. Sigh. Alabama). Fall can't get here soon enough!

They experienced all sorts of new scents, sounds, sights -- the ocean, wind -- and met lots of people. They also had their first long car ride and were troopers. Puppy conformation evaluations and temperament evaluations have now been completed and we will make our final placements. We have homes for everyone, but we are holding onto 2 to let them grow out a bit more, do BPUP (Beginning Puppy 4-6 class in the AKC shows) before deciding who are pick is. Here are some scenes from their 8-week birthday:

The week before (en route up to Virginia) we stopped in Knoxville, TN and she won not only the Breed but also the Toy Group!
Here is Eliza at her very first show (in Knoxville) . . . .
Later in the week, Eliza's sister Emma, (Pickwick's Judge of Your Own Happiness) was incredible at the Nationals with her very first time in a show ring and with a table examination. I was so proud of her! Competition was fierce, of course. Here is Emma being amazing . . . .
And here is Eliza enjoying the sights at the Pug Dog Club of America National Specialty . . . .

His owners will be calling him Doyle! We love the hard consonant in training and it truly fits this little fella who has so much personality and is SO smart. Amy was attending the Pug National Conference for over a week (and the Knoxville show before that) so she had not seen him for a week and 1/2 until yesterday. He just gets more beautiful every day!

He didn't much like trying to run around in the sweater but it was a bit chilly outside early this morning! (For Alabama folks at least ha!!)

They got to meet some amazing other breeders who evaluated them (for conformation etc. -- temperament evaluations were a couple of weeks ago) and they played and played and played in the hotel! We got home at 1:15 AM (which felt like 2:15 AM Greenville, SC time) so I think they were happy to get back to their playpen in the den and familiar settings. Mom was ;)
