Arrival of Hetty
28 June 2010 - first 7 weeks
We liked Ellie's earlier puppies Winston & Spencer so much that we
repeated the mating with Wandris Entertainer in April this year. On 28
June a single blenheim bitch puppy was born by Caesarian. It looks like
she will be staying with us - her pedigree name is Luphenex Let Me
Entetain You (we ran out of letters allowed!) and her pet name is Hetty,
short for Henrietta in memory of our beloved Henry.

last litter!

A novel way of ensuring Hetty gets a choice of nipple?

4 days old

8 days and the eyes are already opening

2 weeks old and she is up on her feet - this is very early, but we
suspect she is ahead of her age because she was late being born
