Odds and Ends

Julie Rigby​'s Favor (Inkwell MIlwin Token of Affection with-too-many-agility-titles-to- remember) has entered the conformation ring  in ASCA, and needs only her major wins to finish her championship. We are going to Tennessee in October to the ASCA Nationals and she can compete there in agility and in conformation.

Puppies are 7 weeks old!!

Well, 7 weeks old tomorrow, and healthy and happy. Satin too!

 Satin is only nursing a couple of times a day now and only for short periods, but the puppies are doing great with their dog food meals.

Tri boy!

 They do the stairs (2 stories-worth of them on my hill) easily a couple of times a day when we go out for some yard time.

But THIS week...

Here they are at almost 5 weeks, now spending some closely supervised outdoor time and learning about stairs and so forth. Thanks to Christine Kaye for the photos

A lot of catching up to do!!

Haven't said a thing since our Jimmy puppies were born, but shall rectify this forthwith.
Puppies turned 5 weeks old today and are growing like the proverbial weeds. From 10oz birth weights they are each about 6 pounds now, well on their way . They are on their feet, eating, running, pooping, peeing, and doing all the other things puppies do.

Better maybe to just show you. These shots are last week, at age 4 weeks.
