And one very happy girl. She is now officially out of heat, Tiger is back home with his family and now Bubbles is home too. I don’t know who was happier to be back, her or her play buddy, Ozzie. Please don’t get me wrong – she enjoyed her time with...

Our plan was always to do one breeding with Bella and then have her spayed to be able to live out her days in the lap of luxury with our dear friends. Initially she would stay with us until the breeding and whelping were complete but the timing just didn’t work...
