Holiday Season 2011

Once again the holiday season is upon us. In my way of thanking the many who have made wonderful homes for my TTs I post this YouTube seasonal pictorial slide show. It’s fun for me to prepare and I hope you take a moment to view it. Happiest Holidays to one and all!






There are many happy things to report. Mike McLoughlin completed Miss Rosie’s AKC championship a few weekends ago. Now herald CH Lukilu Everything’s Coming Up Roses At Kiara. She joined the ranks of her relatives in the Kiara Hall of Fame…see it in that section of the website. She’s not done yet because Mike will commence “specialing” her along with her Mom Sadie, CH Kiara Harlem Song. How many Mikes will that take! Just look at her beautiful finishing photo. Way to go Rosie!

Rosie is not alone winning this praise. Her cousin Cooper also completed his championship the following weekend with a 5 pointer! He too can be seen in the Hall of Fame. Check out CH Kiara Ewok Among Us: that’s Cooper. Congratulations to his co-owners Miles and Travis. Their dedication and wonderful caring are responsible for Cooper being the third brother out of that litter to complete their AKC championships. Cooper’s brothers are Bodhi, CH Kiara Bodhi, and Puddin’, CH Kiara You Light Up My Life. The breeding that produced this beautiful litter has just been repeated; we look forward to the same quality of beauty and exceptional temperament all the pups in that litter excelled in. Special thanks to Cooper’s handler and owner, Travis. Learning the finer points of handling showing Cooper to his championship…I’ve got to give it to him…all the praise in the world. And look at the result: a beautiful dog and a happy owner/handler…even if it was a rainy dank day. Congratulations Cooper and Travis!



And showing from the Kiara Home has been eventful as well. On his first weekend out Kiara Hollywood Bad Boy, Naldo, earned his first major. It was his first day in the ring! The following days he tired and didn’t shine as much…but it’s a good beginning.












And as always there are lots of TT notes, letters, and visits. Another Bodie came to visit while his owners, Phil & Cathy, went to have fun and visit family in NYC. He turned out nicely, complimenting his mom, Dream, and dad, Bodhi, like his brother, Q-Tip, and sister, Louise, both in residence here. Bodi enjoys a relaxing moment on the chaise – coming home to Kiara was a welcoming experience…he hadn’t forgotten anything.



Hi Dennis-Hope all is well with you. We are absolutely loving our T.T. 'Bodie'. He is such a good-natured happy puppy (what dog wouldn't be with the way we spoil him!). People are always saying to me "You are so lucky to have one of Dennis' puppies- he raises the best dogs." We couldn't be happier with our little guy.
Thanks, Cathy






Dennis:

Hey there. I wanted to reach out and say hello. Grayson and I own Bandit; he was part of your Oct 7, 2010 litter. Bandit has just turned a year old and is an absolute amazing dog…I would love to share some recent photos if you want to post any on your website…

I also have friends that are interested in getting one. When do you think you’ll have the litter ready for viewing, adoption? I will pass that along. A co-worker is excited here.

Love to hear back.

Thanks, Alec

Photos coming soon…

BTW, Bandit has been photographed for a Olympian Cyclist Catalog (we think he didn’t make the final cut), filmed for a reality show on Style Network called Misfit (we’ll see if he makes the show trailer) and last week photographed to be the spokes dog for a Pet and dry mitt website to dry dogs… Too funny! He’s a looker…




Introducing Barnes and Noble, Born Tuesday 10-11-11. Rena had 2 beautiful sable and white pups. One male, Barnes, and the other a female, Noble. Both are doing well . Rena has enough milk for the whole town!!! Rena surprised me when I came home on Tues. with her pups in her crate. She did a fabulous job. What a good mom. Will send pics. Bye for now, Cheryl










Dennis, hope you are doing well. Daisy has been a great joy in our
lives. Everyone who meets her loves her. She just got spayed 3 weeks ago and is doing great.

We were wondering if you are available to dog sit for us again from
December 31st till January 8th. We are going on our annual Disney
World trip and know Daisy would love to see her family again! Let me know when you have a minute.

Thanks!

Jeff


HELLO DENNIS, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT "ROSEBUD" IS DOING VERY WELL. WE'RE WORKING ON HER "POTTY TRAINING". SHE HAS A GOOD APPETITE AND SEEMS SO SMART. THE MC ADAMS DROPPED BY ON SUNDAY AND LOVED HER. MY VET EXAMINED HER AND GAVE HER A BIG "O.K." SHE HAS A GREAT APPETITE. I DID SHAMPOO HER AND SHE REACTED WELL. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO WALK ON THE ROAD. I'M TRYING TO EASE HER INTO THAT SLOWLY. MY LIFE IS CHANGING AND I LIKE IT!

I'M HAPPY TO HAVE SUCH A SWEET "BUDDY".

BEST REGARDS, JUNE


Hi Dennis,
Hope this note finds you well. Today is Tashi’s birthday, she 1 year old today. It has been a fun 10 months that we have had her. She is the princess of the neighborhood. We still get questioned about her everywhere we go. Tashi has been going to puppy school for the past nine months. She is very well behaved and next month she starts classes to become a Theraphy dog. We where told we justed missed you by 10 minutes at the Topsfield dog show. We met some very nice people there. Looking forward to many more great years with Tashi. Be well and stat in touch

Great pictures came in from Marilyn. Little Zeke is growing up in his new home. He went out Halloweening with his family dressed as a bat. It’s fantastic to see how well the little ones fit into their new companion families’ lives…making them great and loving additions.





Last shot is of the beautiful Miss Sugar. She too has won praises at dog shows. Here, on her grooming table, she is just waiting for her moment to shine in the ring. And when she does she is eye-catching.
















Happiest Holidays to one and all from Kiara! May your New Year be blessed with happiness and wonderful events.





Until next time . . .
