Keeley sleeping & sad puppy news

I'm a little behind on my blog reading but saw on Maggie & Mitch's blog that Gaucho and Verdi are having a sleeping sweet dreams contest. I think maybe we're too late to participate in the contest but think it's a great idea anyway. I looked through a zillion Keeley pictures but found very few of him actually asleep. It seems that I'm not very good at sneaking up on him. He always opens an eye right when I'm about to snap the picture, but I will keep trying!He likes to nap out in the hallway. I figure he thinks that he can guard both apartments best from there.

Now for some sad news... I was hoping that we'd get Keeley's sister in early June which would mean that she should have been born earlier this month. When the mama dog didn't go into labor on time, Keeley's breeder took her to the vet and they found out it was a false pregnancy. We are so disappointed because we are really eager for a pup sister for Keeley, but we really feel bad for that mama dog that was expecting puppies and is not going to have any. Keeley's grandma read up about canine false pregnancy and she told us that the mama dog gets sad and tries to nurse stuffed animals and stuff. It's so sad.

We were thinking about what to do about the sister situation now. We met a really sweet little Welsh Terrier named Maggie at Lake Park a few weeks ago. She was really cute and acted very sweet, just like Keeley. So we were thinking that maybe a pup like that would be a good sister, or maybe a WFT, or a Wheaten? But then we looked back at Keeley's puppy pictures and our hearts ached for another Irish Terrier and so we've decided to wait till fall for a new litter to be born.
