The nest is empty and all of the puppies are now with their new families.  Vito and Carmella are back to relaxing by themselves and enjoy the occasional visits of their puppies.  Some of the pups have gotten HUGE..  The real treat for me, besides seeing the puppies grown up, is receiving photos via email.  You can see the many photos we have received in the alumni section.  I know how exciting it was to bring Vito and Carmella home for the first time and how fun it was to watch them grow and (thankfully) learn.  I know these new families are experiencing the same joys I had..  with the occasional “puppy induced frustrations” I would imagine.  Good luck to them!

Thanks goes to our families for sending us some great pics..  Keep them coming!
