Janet, I had to laugh at "Then we had to run some poo out to the Vet." in the middle of your busy day
I understand it, but it sounded funny!
You are such a caring breeder! The breeder I got Layla from said she likes to keep in touch with all of her "extended family" but she never once tried to contact me or asked me to stay in touch. I have emailed her a couple of times with pictures and she eventually replies "Oh she has gotten so beautiful" but just really doesn't seem to care that much.
