Adam & the Scene of the Crime

Jul 222019
 
After a bath, big dryer and trimming, Adam is pretty sure a crime has been committed.
13 week old Adam has a sad face. Enough of this grooming!!

Busy Weekend

Jul 212019
 
The 3 little boys turned 11 weeks on Saturday (left is Blue, on his side is Green, on the crate pad is Orange). This weekend they are entertaining lots of visitors and enjoying every minute, so they are resting up for their Sunday visitors. Unfortunately they only rest for a short period of time before they are ready to run, wrestle, growl, and play again. They are a fun litter.

Sweepstakes and Specialty Shows

Jul 182019
 

The Absolutely Team made a good showing at our recent local shows! Here are two photos of boys who live at Sue’s house. I was so pleased with how well they did.

Nine month old Chandler was Reserve Winners Dog and Best Puppy!
Wilson moves like a dream. He did great in the shows and later in the weekend he was Best of Winners for a 4 point major win. Don’t ask me why I didn’t get a photo of that!

April Says Good-Bye

Jul 102019
 

There are always mixed feelings when a puppy leaves “the nest” for her new home. It’s difficult to say good-bye. On the other hand, you know you are sending her to a new family who will love and care for her. She’ll be leading the good life.

April has had her bath and her “bags are packed.” Extra hugs from me, wrestle time with her brother, kisses from her mother and she is ready to go.
This is April’s new family. They have waited a long time for this little girl.

Harper & Morgan

Jul 092019
 

We just attended our local Bichon Specialty and had a wonderful, if exhausting time! We had a bit of a puppy reunion as Harper came to the show from Oregon. She was reunited with her sister Morgan and her brothers Chandler and Brinkley. Thanks, Jennifer (Brinkley’s person) for remembering to take pictures!

I love this picture of Harper!

Second in line is Harper, followed by Morgan. Both did very well at the shows, and Harper got both the major wins she will need for her championship.

At a more casual setting, our Awards Banquet, Wilson (on right) remembers Brinkley and they give each other a rambunctious “Hello”.

7 Weeks & Ready to Play

Jun 232019
 
From Left to right: Blue (Taco), Orange (Nacho) and Green (Burrito) all waiting to be released from their x-pen to play in the dog room–and they love being out! This weekend the pups had lots of visitors. On Saturday Adam and April came over to visit and play–and we had lots of visitors that also came to the see the pups and play with them. On Sunday the pups had several more visitors–so a busy weekend of socializing. Entertaining can be tiring, but after several naps the pups are rejuvenated and ready to take on the world.

9 Weeks Old – Visitors and Fun Outside

Jun 232019
 

Yesterday, April & Adam paid a call on their cousins Taco, Nacho and Burrito. The five of them had company. Lots of visitors came to play with them and they had a great time. We are lamenting that we forgot to take pictures! These pictures are taken today, their 9 week birthday.

April loves to play in our dog yard. Her favorite thing is to find things to chew on….especially things she is not supposed to have. She has learned to go down a couple of steps. She hasn’t mastered the dog door yet, but it won’t be long.
Adam can go in and out the dog door without any help. He’s an active little guy. Yes, that is April in the background, chewing on something forbidden.

Week 6–Bath & Hair Cut

Jun 172019
 
Today the “boys” had their first bath and hair cut. Mr. Blue (aka Taco) was the best with both the bath and then the dryer and hair cut.
Green boy (aka Big Burrito) did not have a bath and hair cut on his agenda today–but we made it through. Since the “boys” were supposed to be born on Cinco de Mayo (but they actually arrived 1 day early–on the 4th of May), that’s the reason for the Mexican food nicknames. On Saturday when I weighed the pups I found that I can no longer call him the Big Burrito since he is no longer the biggest of the 3 pups–so now it is just Burrito.
Orange boy (aka Nacho) is now the biggest of the 3 pups. Like the Green boy, he did not have a bath and haircut on his schedule, but endured and we got it done. All 3 of the pups continue to grow and are now trying out puppy food, supplemented by Sassy. This week they have also had the opportunity to get out of their x-pen area and run in the dog room–now it is hard to listen to them whine when they want out to play.
