The puppies are gone (except one)

Today is a sad, but necessary day.  The last of the puppies went home with his new family this afternoon.  My mom really enjoyed the experience.  Last week was the only hard part because my dad had a rough week.  When I wasn't helping my mom with the puppies, I was chauffeuring my dad around.

Everything worked out well enough though.  My parents were here for a long stay to help me out.  I had periodontal surgery on Tuesday.  My dad was feeling stronger by Tuesday and my mom was down one puppy.  My kids got to spend a bunch of extra time with Grandma and the puppies because my recovery was slower than expected.

There is a great picture of my dad with one of the puppies on the puppies' blog.  Check out the blog at tillyspups.blogspot.com, if you haven't already.  My parents are keeping the puppy pictured with my dad on Day Fifty-One.  She was the only female in the litter.
