We were very fortunate to be able to find seemingly great homes for all of the puppies. They were awfully adorable but it is a huge relief to be free of the responsibility. Though I was worried it would be hard on them, the kids felt the same way, and loved telling the new families about the special qualities of each one. Even Dingo has a spring in her step that we haven't seen for awhile. We celebrated with a firework show.
Dingo had her puppies on March 10th - 4 girls and 3 boys, all healthy but for 1 umbilical cord issue that has since healed up nicely. We also found out that dingo is in fact a dingo! A "Carolina Dog," also known as the American Dingo, she is a true wild dog of the South. We've lost a couple birds now, I think all due to chicken hawks. We're down to 5 Australorps, 1 game hen, 1 game rooster, and 6 game chicks (8 weeks and still impossible to sex). Dan found a cool corn snake. Thankfully it is not living in our house...though that might eliminate the other animal issues...
