It’s bittersweet to say good-bye to a puppy. Bridget is one who really tugs at the heart strings. It’s sad to say farewell…..but “sweet” to see how happy she is making her new family.
Janet and Mike have been waiting for a puppy for a long time. Bridget is the perfect match!
Junebug has no littermates, so instead she gets to snuggle with this fluffy lamb and other toys.
Although her eyes are partially opened, she can’t focus well.
Junebug spends her time eating (and eating) and sleeping. Yesterday she got a bigger “playpen” to encourage her to move around more. Sbe does neurological stimulation exercises every day. You can google that. It’s quite interesting.
I couldn’t resist taking this picture. Little girl is one week old today. Talk about total relaxation!
My granddaughter was helping me with some computer issues. (Thank you, Nora!!) and Bridget was sure Nora needed her help.
I’ve never had a singleton puppy in a litter until now. Violet delivered a robust little girl June 1. Violet is feeling very proud of herself.
Six years ago these lovelies were born.
We haven’t attended the dog shows in Elma for many, many years because they are typically scheduled for the same week that we are away at Nationals. But this year, as with everything else in life being different we were able to attend. And we are happy we did.
While Dina is convalescing from major knee surgery, we took Cash out to finish up his Grand Championship. He showed beautifully for Sue and managed to obtain enough Select Dog points to earn the title of Grand Champion.
Burrito took the Best of Breed ribbon for each of the 3 days that we showed which qualifies him for the title of Champion. He also got his first taste in the group ring and he did great in there! Fit right in.
Jan Rider was there with her lovely boy Elijah (littermate of Burrito) who took Reserve each day. Our great friend Adora showed Elijah the first two days but on the final day Jan decided to take the lead. It was Jan’s first real ring experience and she did a wonderful job. Taking a dog in the show ring for the first time is pretty intimidating. We hope she wants to continue in the ring because she has the makings of a very good owner/handler. Way to go Jan!
This may be Pixie’s new song, “Something tells me I’m into something good.”
Pixie had her ring debut yesterday and today. She has the reputation of being fearless. She is just over 6 months old and none of the new sights and sounds fazed her a bit. Her owner, Doug, also had his ring debut today. He got to squire this lively girl around the ring.
