Gone home

Julie loves on Favor, who was quite busy befor her trip to VT

Sometimes you have to just carry them!

Take this toy NOW!

And off she goes on her life's adventure.

Confetti (not yet spoken for) takes matters into his

own hands

Smudge is now 'Pinion'. He gets his own big sister in Quil

Pinion gives 'T' a kiss, the first of many, I think.

Em, Quil and Pinion

I had to give him a last snuggle along with Confetti, 

though I know I'll see him very frequently. He might have a show career if he comes along well.

They're leaving home...

Well, the time has come, the litter is 8 weeks old tomorrow and away they go. It has been a wonderful healthy happy outgoing litter with lots of visitors, lots of adventures. They traveled well in the car (noisy at first but no carsickness) they gained weight, tolerated worming, vaccinations, and microchipping, all eyes cleared CERF exams by Dr. Bromberg, and all have homes!  (Well, ok, one needs placement but not sure which yet!).  The spoken-for puppies go home tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday.

Luster (was Dusk) headed for a show career (we hope!) with 

co-breeder Debbie Mills

Satin, (was Birdie) also going to Debbie's, hopefully to help 

carry on her line.

Shiner, to live in Ft. Meade with a family including 3 kids! He'll have a 

rollicking time!

Smudge, soon to be named (something else) will probably go to

the Powells for a possible show career on co-ownership. He'll learn about horses too.

Vivi, the little Ribbon look-alike, is headed for 

Westchester Co. NY to live the life of a pampered pet.

a point (wow!!) under judge Dr. Robt. M. Brown. 

6 weeks old now

Smudge. Reminds me of Thumper, probably more becasue of head markings 

than anything else.

Ribbon takes matters, and Crescent, into her own, um, hands?

Dusk, fat boy

Crescent and Favor.

Dusk again

And really wild and active. They are using the litter and outdoors exclusively for poops; pees still happen in a bit more well-distributed fashion.

Another win

Thumper went Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best Opposite Sex today for one mighty point at Catoctin KC show in West Friendship, MD today, judge Robert Brown presiding. This brings him to 11 points in his 9 times in the AKC ring. Really need a Major now!

And of course the obligatory Brag Photo

Because, well, why not. Proud of my doggy. He was Winners for a 4 point major last weekend in Richmond as previously reported and the photo came (surprisingly quickly, I might add). So here it is, Thumper's first AKC Major under judge James White. Thank you Mr. White. Now on to another Major when we can find one so he can be an AKC Ch. as well.
