The Happenings at Crooked Creek Terriers

As you've seen, we have Cairn Terrier puppies by Maggie, Chloe, and Rainey. They are 2wks, 2wks, and 5 days respectively, and all are gaining and doing well. Chloe's puppies got their eyes open yesterday. A few of Maggie's have their eyes open, but the others are still closed. We took new photos of Chloe's, Rainey's, and will get new photos of Maggie's when they all have their eyes open.

Maggie scratched her eye, so I've been busy medicating and treating her. It's improving and I expect her to make a full recovery. It's hard to know how she did it, but it was a generalized ulcer rather than a visible scratch. I feel bad for her, it looks painful!

We still have 2 brindle males available for Maggie. The rest of the puppies are sold and their families are anxiously waiting!

It's been hot but we're keeping cool with plenty of water and fans. I'm hoping to get some insulation put into the roof of the puppy house to keep it from heating up, until we can get the new facility built. The air conditioner is a waste of time. It just won't keep up any better than fans. By the time the summer heat comes, the puppies will be old enough to play in the shade during the heat of the day. So we'll make it through ok. We had tornado watches/warnings yesterday but thankfully they went to the north and south of us, so we just got some rain last night.

We're busy with summer fun, birthdays, and some mini vacations planned. I just love this time of year!
