Good Bye KZ

While new life lives and grows in the whelping box in the shop, we have to say good bye to an old friend. Today we lost our companion of some 15 years. From tiny pup, to rollicking playmate, to old and infirmed, our good dog, KZ, was loyal and protecting. We grieve her loss. She will be much missed.

As you may know, we help out at the Animal Protective League. Pop in a weak moment said he would take a pregnant dog and foster her until the pups were gone and the mom was neutered.
Well here she is with her new litter. She gave birth to 10 puppies Friday in the wee hours of the morning. I had stayed with her until 1:OO am.I gave up and went to bed thinking she just was not ready. By the time I got there in the morning she had had all the puppies but two did not make it. They got too cold. However, Sadie has 8 healthy pups of unknown parentage. They will be ready to go by mid January, shots, neutered, etc. Anyone wishing a new best friend, let me know.

In other news; I bought Pop a pickup truck at auction. Don’t ever do that! You do not have a chance to drive it, etc. and the repairs could cost quite a bit.

The deal is done. They are moving in.
It's an end of an era.
I am sad more than glad.
Pax in all ways to you all.

Pop's Birthday

Today is Popo's birthday. More later.

Rejoice with me!
Today, Marvin signed once. I signed 5 names 6-7 times, plus the Elizabeth C. Knasel POA, plus I signed for spouses, plus the Elizabeth C. Knasel POA, plus my own name 6-7 times not counting the Elizabeth C. Knasel POA.
At the same time the buyer was, we think, at Andover bank signing papers. The deed will be filed November 7th. and checks will be mailed. If anyone wants an accounting of the costs we entailed, let me know and I'll send you a ledger page.
