After 13.5 weeks living here, Adam is ready to move on to a new home. He also has a new name, “Sora”.

“You mean today’s the day I get to meet my new owner?”
“Here’s a good-bye kiss. I’m ready to go!”
“Here’s my new human. (She seems to like me) And I’m told they have another dog for me to play with. Let the fun begin!”

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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”.

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.

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.
