During the wee hours of Tuesday July 29th, our royal girl, Gracie (The Royal Grace of Seastar) whelped her first litter. She gave birth to 7 healthy puppies; 6 girls and 1 boy. The proud father is Clipper (Driftwood’s Coastal Clipper – with way too many titles and accomplishments for me to list, as I’m sure I’d forget something!).We originally planned for a “Simpsons” themed litter but with so many beautiful girls, we had to re-think that strategy. In keeping with the puppies’ Mother & Grandmother’s (Seastar’s Princess Lola) official AKC names, we chose to theme this litter after Disney Royalty!
So introducing (with a short description of the Disney princesses they are named after):
Ariel (light blue): she is “feisty, headstrong and means to follow the rules but rarely succeeds”. Ariel is better known as The Little Mermaid.
Aurora (yellow): she is a “gentle, loving and thoughtful girl”. She is better known as Sleeping Beauty.
Belle (light purple): she is “loyal and kind with much patience… she has a natural, unaffected beauty”. Belle is the princess from Beauty & the Beast.
Cinderella (light pink): she is “keen, intelligent with true dignity, goodness and beauty”. Everyone knows Cinderella!
Jasmine (dark purple): she is “exotic, fiery, strong and independent” ... she is the princess from Aladdin.
Pocahontas (dark pink): she is “playful, free-spirited, loves adventure & excitement. She is curious and independent and in her story was nicknamed “little mischief”
The boy, well he is “PRINCE” (the puppy formerly known as “Bart”.. he has a dark blue ribbon). He is a striking boy, a deep dark red like his Dad and Grandfather (Reid).
