I spoke with Scott today and got a great report regarding the mating rituals between Navigator and Lex and a textbook meet up it's been... Sounds like I will likely be able to collect Lex in a day or two and I'm ready! I've seriously been missing her!
With that said, it's time to start replenishing the pantry of all things puppy! On my end I was lucky enough to find some Tyvek wrist bands in a variety of colors that I'll use to identify the pups as newborns and some webbing that corresponds fairly well to those colors that they'll graduate to when they are a bit older... say toddler size. I've ordered some soft and fuzzy fleece as well so I can put together a few more beds and hopefully as a result have fewer laundry days. I'm trusting my ol' Singer has lots of good stitches left in 'er unlike my dryer which didn't quite survive the last litter. No worries though; you know what they say about hanging the sheets to air dry.... besides saving the dryer... there's nothing better for a good nights sleep!
In the land of pups, a good nights sleep equates to a quiet nights sleep.

Raising a litter of Doberman pups is a tremendous amount of work but it's a lot of fun too and I'm already starting to get excited!!! I'm excited too, for those of you who are already on board. We're going to have fun with this whether you know it yet or not!
