Mom is Seneca Vega Harp Star; If you search her name in smartairedale.wordpress.com you will see some of her previous escapades.
Feb 24, 2021…one week to go…Vega needed her maternity trim to get ready for the big delivery!


March 1st…day 61…Slept in the bedroom; tossed and turned thinking about whether Vega was going to go into labor when I wasn’t there, so decided to start sleeping next to her–I had it all ready, anyway. My work schedule has been cleared for the week; I’m all hers.

March 2nd…day 62…Sept surprisingly well next to her; nothing all night.
March 3rd…day 63…Then….at 7:40 am she starts to scratch at her bedding and that’s a sign! Right on the due date, too.

Was that a contraction?

Then the laundry to be done, so far three different loads of blue newborn rugs, birthing towels, bathing wash clothes, and assorted fabrics that come in contact with the puppies. Giving birth is messy, so wipe downs must be done with non-toxic natural products and rinsing anyway, just to be safe. Soon, Vega will get a post natal bath, which she most richly deserves! It takes a little work to get these neat, clean pics!

OK, I’m tired but I’ll be up every three hours during the night for the first 10 days or so, just make sure that no puppy is off in a corner somewhere or slipped under the blue rug, or on the wrong side of Vega (there’s no way to get milk from her backbone!) or any of the other of a hundred creative ways a blind and deaf newborn can get lost in a 38″ x 38″ box!


We don’t rush them out the door but we would like them to all be with their new families at 8 or so weeks. Puppies want to make a strong attachment to their new families at this age! At this early stage, a deposit is like a reservation at a restaurant–we guarantee you a table, but we’re not sure which one just yet. 😉



There’s a large play area and other places to sleep, but they are all so determined to fit in this box! On the left 3 weeks old, on the right 4 weeks. I wonder how it will work out at FIVE weeks?
Please note our puppies are reserved very early and you need to make a confirmation and conversation with me on the phone before sending any deposit or being assured of availability to a specific litter or puppy.
