A New Year . . . what comes next?

These pups are only 2 days old in this photo . . .kind of like this New Year . . .only 2 days old.  The pups won't begin to open their eyes until the 10th day and will not see clearly for many days after that.  Hearing doesn't happen until even later in their lives. 

In some ways each new year is like the new puppies.  We can't see into the future clearly to know what is coming.  As we change calendars it is customary to pause and look back over the recently ended year (and those that preceeded that one) and contemplate where we've come from.  We also dream about what we'd like the coming year to be and maybe even be so bold as to make resolutions . . .  attempts to make commitments that will improve our lives and circumstances in the coming year.

We have learned alot from our past . . .  both our successes and progress and also from the occasional blunder.  We have great hopes for the future . . . we have what we expect to be two fine litters coming in the next few weeks with Tacie's 1st litter due in mid January and Leucy's next litter due towards the end of February.  There will be more fine litters coming throughout 2012.   We have some wonderful young dogs coming along, some of whom will be having their 1st litters this year.  There will be more improvements in our tools to communicate with great improvements to our web site and a new web site coming soon.  The addition of this blog and our very new entry into the realm of Twitter will be good additions to our fun presence already popular on Facebook.

But on this 2nd day of January, 2012 (doesn't that seem weird to write the new year in our dates?) rather than looking back or dreaming forward I really want to pause to express my gratitude for all the abundant blessings that have been given to me . . .  and especially in this forum to say that I am grateful to have the priviledge to live and work with these amazing German Shepherd Dogs at Rosehall Kennel and the great people who have brought these pups into their families and into their workplaces . . .  you all are the best!


. . . until next time . . .   Eliot     www.rosehallkennel.com
