| The ongoing photo journal of Katoba Dobermans' 2009 "Miss & Mister" Litter ~ DPCA Futurity Nominated for 2010 |

| What a special day it was today - "Grand-dam Echo" could stand it no longer ... she just had to get out there and play with her grand-get. It was 4 years ago today that she started laboring with her first litter ... Echo was such a fantastic dam, rearing some of the most well established Dobermans one could hope for. And now, she is sharing some wisdom with her grand-pups. Misty, the wonder-dam, stayed back and watched along with us, as Echo ran and jumped and bowed, and nuzzled the babies. Misty is such a proud dam and she is proving to be exactly who and what we had hoped and believed she would be 'in the whelping box'. I am truly blessed to witness these three generations of Dobermans at my home. |

| David and Margret Truax came down this evening to visit Braun. David had a great nap-time with his boy, and Margret shared how anxious she is to get her baby home. It was awesome to see the 'family to be' having some special moments. It will be the last time they are all together before the ears are cropped next week. Hang in there guys ... ... I will keep you posted ! |
| I gave them the pups their first marrow bones today - they loved them and all had a good time. Rhyme was not satisfied until she could go from puppy to puppy stealing their bones and causing a bit of chaos ... ... boy oh boy, she is her grandmother (Echo) when it comes to bones. |
| So, while the glow from the sky is beautiful, it was simply just not warm enough for the dogs to spend so many hours outside in the damp grass and cool breeze. They all got a bit too chilled and then did not want to eat, so of course I over-reacted and stressed over the fact that they wouldn't eat. One missed meal makes them look so skinny, (wish that worked for me - hahaha). Nevertheless, they are now sleeping peacefully in their cushy, heated beds ~ ~ and I am assuming they will awake ready to eat an entire cow! |
