And Then There Were Five!

Get onto the bus

That's gonna take you back to Beelzebub

Get onto the bus....

I was listening to Soul Coughing's Bus to Beelzebub the other day when I glanced into my whelping box.

This is what I saw:

Sissy-PUSS-Puss is ready to stop going rub-a-dub

It was appropriate because the exodus has commenced. 

Once we were nine.

These were the good ole days!

And then our little Nala went home to Penny and Reed. Her name means gift, and a lovely anniversary gift she was for Reed. 

Nala tinkled on me on the way there! It was her way of letting me know she would miss me....

Contemplating life after Nala...there will be less tinkle!

I will miss her too!

And then we were eight.

Where'd that Nala go?

Lani, formerly known as Dark Green, went home to Mama Liana on Friday. Lani's full name is Heali'i O'Na Lani 'O Mauna Kohai, which means Heavenly Royal Princess of Kohala Mountain in Hawaiian.

Final snack before heading up the mountain to her royal home

And then we were seven. 

Puppy pinwheel of seven. It doesn't feel as crowded as usual.

As my Pilates teacher and good friend Karen would say, Seven is Heaven!

Although she usually says that when I'm working my hamstrings. And I don't always agree with her. 

In this case, seven was an easier number of puppies to track. For one day.

Saturday rolled around and Cheryl and Bob rolled up from Hilo. They took Professor Plum Loco, now known as Jake, and Mr. Teal, now known as Woody, back home with them. 

In case you didn't figure it out, they are named after the Blues Brothers! We have a wee bit of a musical theme going here.

Plum Loco plays good bye with Lite Green Jelly Bean.

And gives me a final cuddle. I'm gonna miss that ridge on your nose, Plum!

Plum has been a favorite from the start.

And Mr. Teal will be missed too!

Mr. Teal, then Ryan Gosling and now, Woody!!!

Here the boys snooze on their way home to the east side of the island. Their daddy is a pilot, so these lucky little guys are gonna get to fly!

It's our first long commute!

And then we were five.

Where's everyone going?

Next week our friend Richard will pick up Lil Ms. Blue and Captain Black. We still have Lite Green Jelly Bean to sell. Jamboree and Seppe will be staying with us. 

So if you want a lovely lil girl puppy, lemme know! I'm here to tell you, you can buy love!
