Time flies!!

 I've been remiss and not posted any puppy updates and now I will have to backdate and use photos from a few weeks ago as they are all in their new homes! All except the white girl, Zuri, who is staying here at Itzapromise :) So here are loads of photos, some of the whole litter and some of Zuri after her siblings left. 


















Zuri had a bit of a baptism of fire when the last of her siblings left as within an hour of her brother leaving my friend arrived with her 5 dogs and Zuri not only had to meet them we then went on her 1st proper walk. The following day we all went to the beach. She had an absolute blast and was a tired but very happy puppy when the visit ended. Since then she has had numerous walks on her own, so that she can build her own identity rather than relying on being part of a pack, she has been to a couple of garden centres, a pub, Dartmoor, sat outside a supermarket, been through a subway and met loads of people and dogs. The only thing she has struggled with is being in the car as she suffers with car sickness, but she is more than happy to get into the car now and she can manage about 20- 30 minutes sick free so we are making progress. Here are some of the photos I've taken in the last week. 

























I'll finish off with the cats, I know I've said it before but this is now definite, Kenji is pregnant with the last litter of Itzapromise Devon Rex for the foreseeable future. Fawlty is booked in to be neutered next week in the hope that he will be able to enjoy his retirement in the house with us rather than his (very comfortable) outside accommodation. Kenji will be neutered once her kittens have been fully weaned. This marks the end of an era as I have bred Devons for over 20 years, but I'm not getting any younger and feel that now is the time to lessen the load. All our current cats will be staying here as much loved pets.

Pupdate

 4 Weeks old and really starting to blossom. They had their 1st visit to the hairdressers (me) so are all looking much more like poodles now :)  Yesterday saw them experience the great outdoors for the first time.
