Sherwood's Breeding Plans
-
The puppy will be going to live with my best friend Steph and her husband Chris. They have Luna (Ch. Sherwood's Red Moon Rising), littermate to my Baron (and the deceased Logan) and full sibling to my Pippin and Lisa's Nicky. They were here to watch her birth and will be coming over frequently to watch her grow. They have decided to name her Ayla.
Bindi has been a fabulous mother, very attentive and always touching the baby. They snuggle constantly and it is so precious. Bindi does not look like a typical nursing mother. She barely has noticable teats but the pup is a little butterball so she is obviously producing enough milk. Bindi looks so good that for a fleeting moment, I was tempted to enter her in the dog show at the end of this month. :p
The picture below was taken a few minutes ago.

I was getting a little worried because we hadn't heard any news. Bindi and Ayla look great. Ayla is little beautiful little butterball which is fantastic. :)

Sorry to read about all the trials with this litter. I suppose all you can do is be thankful about the one little pup you have - that pic certainly is adorable!

Wonderful sweet picture. This sight makes all the other problems go away. My condolences for what you went through. Looks like Mom and baby are quite content. :)

I've been thinking too about Bindi and Ayla. Sounds like Ayla is going to a wonderful home. Such a pretty name too.
I give two thumbs up to Steph as a home. Her girl Luna, in addition to being Nicky's big sister, is Rally's dam. Steph raised Rally's litter until they were 7 weeks old and I can't say enough good things about how wonderful Rally turned out. Speaking of which, I really ought to send Steph an update on her wonderful grandpup and her great grandpups Rio and Sophie.
Thanks for the reminder.

Ayla's eyes opened yesterday at 14 days old. I took some pics of her laying on a blanket but I couldn't get her eyes in the pics so I decided to hold her up with one hand and snap pics with the other. My oh my she was just about too big to fit into my hand LOL!
This morning, Bindi was in the living room and Ayla was in the puppy pen in the kitchen. I walked past the puppy pen and saw my cat Moxie in the puppy pen with Ayla.

Moxie grew tired of grooming the puppy and rolled around
Bindi decided it is time to feed Ayla so she entered the pen and plopped herself between Moxie and Ayla

It takes a village to raise a puppy!
LOL! That is too sweet. Poor cat….in a few weeks, Ayla will be like your other basenjis...playfully chasing the cat and trying to put its head in her mouth. Maybe it thinks that it can train this pup to show it some respect! Ayla is beautiful and Bindi looks like a really good mom. (Moxie looks like a good babysitter.)

love the kitty and puppy photo.
Thanks for sharing. -
Singleton pups tend to be developmentally slower than litters but Ayla turned 3 weeks and still wasn't doing much of anything but sleeping and eating. I was starting to get a bit worried about her lack of interest in her surroundings. Yesterday afternoon she finally started to explore the inside of the puppy pen and a stuffed toy with a bit of interest. These pics were taken a few minutes ago of her adventures.

Looking cute but still sleepy
What's this weird thing?
Another odd thing?
Is it a sibling? Can I play with it?
Tired after her big adventure
