Linda reports that four hardy trick-or-treaters showed up — they make them tough up there! Thank you, Linda 💖

Earlier in the week I did a quick two-day trip to Montana.

I had a work meeting I wanted to do in-person and I also scheduled Pozy for a spay and gastropexy with our wonderful veterinarian, Sr. Shoni Card. Being back in Montana — even so briefly — was wonderful, and I feel so lucky to have a foot in two places now.

Capella at Fort Missoula

Capella and Harper went along as well, and enjoyed their walk at Fort Missoula while Pozy was not enjoying her day at the vet. This is Harper B.

I didn’t get to visit with everyone I miss up there but I will on my next trip in December (ahem — Almighty Heidi).

Pozy is recovering well from her surgery.

I want Capella to have a normal cycle, free from being brought in early by another girl (they tend to cycle together) because (drum roll please 🥁)…

Capella

It is time to get busy on the N for New Beginnings Litter. Yes, I will be breeding Capella in early 2025.

It is time.

Happy Sunday, Friends ❤️
