Star Litter #2 - 7-9 wks

Time to say Goodbye

It's a bittersweet time when the puppies are old enough to go to their new homes at 9 weeks. We've made wonderful new friends that will love and cherish them forever, but having to part with their individual personalities and characteristics makes is so hard to say goodbye. Each is so uniquely special, making it even harder to choose who we will keep. Snowball so busy, Noel the dainty "Princess", Frosty so "cool", Twinkle so sweet, but it's Holly, with beautiful movement, friendly and happy, that we choose to carry on the O'Mal line...Though we'll likely see you all again (hopefully soon), and will enjoy much of your "puppyhood" through pictures and stories, we will miss the daily love and activity of "my little piranhas" -- such as the morning I awoke to the phone and cord stretched across the kitchen floor. (Who were you calling?)

Then it's time to say goodbye. We'll miss you! Holly is staying with us, but whether it's a long drive to Florida or an hour away in Michigan, you are all going to wonderful, caring, special homes. This has been an outstanding litter! Temperamentally all are confident, outgoing and friendly. Structurally all are outstanding and most could have easily been placed in show homes - but showing isn't as important as the kind of home that will love, cherish, train and enjoy a new family member.
