Puppy Owners! I need some info!

Six month ago, my children, gave me an all expenses paid holiday to Disney World with them. I had no idea that I would have puppies on the dates they picked. Consequently I will be away from February 7th - 16th. But fear not! The puppies will be in good hands! My husband is here full time and he is very knowledgeable in the rearing of the puppies. He's been doing it with me for 14 years so he's had lots of practice. I have also arranged for TWO friends to help him out. One is a breeder of Min Pins and Shelties, and the other is the lady who I get to take care of all my dogs when we go on holiday with all the family. So both ladies are also very knowledgeable.

What I need from you is the dates and times you will be here to pick up your little fur balls. Anytime after February 20th is good. If you could please send me TWO dates and times that would suit you, then I can get all this organized before I go away. For example: "I can pick up my puppy on either Thursday Feb 23 at 3:00PM or Saturday Feb 26 at noon."

After noon is always better for me as I do all the chores in the morning and get finished around lunch time. If you need to come early in the day due to travelling issues, that's fine. I will work around you. Plan on spending 2 hours here. There is a lot of info and paperwork. It may not take that long, but... plan on 2 hours. I will need to be paid in full before the puppy leaves here. A certified cheque, cash, email money transfer are all good. Personally I like the email money transfer but not everyone is comfortable with that, and that's ok.

Please email me at k9trainer@dogwhisperer.ca with PICK UP DATE in the subject line as soon as possible.

I will let you know which time you have when I have all people's dates and can schedule everyone.

Thanks,

Mary Ann

Individual Pup Pics Updated on Website

So I spent most of my day taking pictures, editing pictures, uploading pictures, publishing pictures (you get the idea!), so you can see how each pup is growing. They are all posted on the first page of my website. www.myguardianangelshepherds.com. And I'm really happy at how they came out. Except... for Mr Blue! He was the first to be photographed and our guinea pig on how we were going to do it. We spent twice as long with him then any of the others. Eventually we got everything set up and him still, for an 1/8th of a second. Then we were off and rolling. 136 pictures later we were done! I worked backwards when editing, putting Blue at the end. When I finally got there, I didn't have a single good picture of him! So, off I went to set up our picture area again. Lights, background, fuzzy balls, safety fences so he wouldn't fall off the table, etc. This time I was on my own so trying to set up a wiggling puppy and holding the camera and pushing the shutter button all at the same time was a lesson in patience. I FINALLY got ONE good photo! YAY! I took that one picture and downloaded it to a thumb drive then took that drive to my laptop (which is the only one I can update my website from) and downloaded it. I clicked on the thumbnail and there it was in all its glory! Upside down! No big deal. I'll just rotate it. Rotate right, rotate right. Done. Beautiful. I uploaded it to my website and voila!... Upside down! I tried for over an hour to get that picture the right way around but no matter what I did, when I uploaded to the website it was upside down. So. When you see Mr Blue staring at you from his upside down perch, remember how many hours I put in today trying to give you nice pictures, instead of chastising me for putting in a picture upside down. 😜

Enjoy the pictures Guys!
