"Summer Pups"
a poem by Hob Nob family member Toni Cramer mom to HN Cricket
Swirl and Scheme are parents proud with six pups, none the same
And now that all have settled in they need their puppy name
blue merle female 'BlueBell' born at 12:55pm BW 9 oz * * blue merle male 'Trumpet' born at 1:05pm BW 10.5 oz
BlueBell & Trumpet at 6 weeks old!
The first pup out, a gorgeous blue...this girl will turn your head
Perfect markings, born in bed, and 'BlueBell is her name
The second pup, a blazing merle, came hot on BlueBell's heels
"A BOY!" they cried, the room all sighed and that's how 'Trumpet' came
black tri male 'Thunder' born at 1:47pm BW 9 oz * * black white female 'Cosmos' born at 2:04pm BW 11oz
Thunder & Cosmos at 6 weeks
" A TRI - A TRI" did Tanya cry I felt the ground a shudder
A deep rich boy and wiggly too! and so there entered 'Thunder'
The fourth girl, WOW, her coat so full rich black and white, full collar
Like staring into heaven's night black 'Cosmos' came to holler
black white female 'Seek' born at 2:12pm BW 8 oz * * black white male 'Cullin' born at 3:04pm BW 9 oz
Seek & Cullin at 6 weeks
The fifth girl out is quite an imp not an ounce of meek
she played hide and Grandma Gail was forced to play with 'Seek'
The sixth boy came with some delay for Nancy had to settle!
at last he came with precious toes that tested Grandma's mettle!
but in the end, NK did win and named this pupster 'Cullin
