                                          Is it Spring yet? 

As the temps vacillate between 70 degrees and 10 here...we bounce between snow storms and melt downs. Even today, we're going to have a dose of both. 

But there are signs Spring is about bust through the Winter malaise that has stalked here for too long. Perhaps with the "spring ahead" that's happening tonight, it will herald springtime's advance. There are signs of it everywhere in the garden. The Narcissus and tulip bulbs have started to shoot up (the coming snow won't interfere with them.) The rose bushes have also started to show buds. Even some other shrubs!

The last graduates from puppydom here have gone off their new loving homes.

Nothing makes a breeder happier than knowing those little ones have become happy additions to their new loving families. It is comforting to know how the transitions are working out. And of course love getting photos and videos. 

 

 

 

Hi Dennis,

Shilo is adjusting nicely. He is a very good boy. But does he have a lot of energy! He doesn’t really like the playpen we have. I think he thinks it’s his place to pee and poop sometimes, and he cries and wants to get out. I’ve attached a picture of him from yesterday. He’s a little monkey!

Dennis,

A problem at the vets today! Bea was in the clinic for an unusually long time. The reason was, she had to go around to every staff member to entertain them and get loving. They asked if I would sign a form to allow them to take pictures with her. She loves everyone! And visa versa!! 

Here's a video of Bea playing with big brother Ferris.

Dennis,

Look at this one - fitting right in with friends and neighbors! Pippa (easy to spot) and Louis are getting on very well.  Olly came for a visit and not a bother between the three dogs. 

 

Louis had his vet appointment and all is well. Thank you!!!

Dennis, 

Jojo is so sweet and playful. Watch him zoom about!

It was nice having that exclusive time with him while I waited to cross the border. I just love his funny personality. Here he is imitating a Tibetan snow dog.

 

Thank you. I will keep you up-dated.

Hi Dennis!

Brandy is such a bundle of joy! The kids even made the trek home this weekend to meet her. She is adapting really well and loving her new family and home! All went well at the vets. Please see the photos below. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Nick and Eve

And of course I am always thrilled to hear how everyone else is doing. Celebrating their lives with you, their birthdays and other milestones, always makes me smile. Thank you for including me.

 

 

 

 

Hello Dennis,

Panda, Bob and I are now at the apartment at Bedford Mass. Maine is pretty dark and chilly now and  hunting season is not our favorite time of year. Consequently we have migrated south to our apartment. 

 

I am happy to report that Panda, now 11 ¾, is thriving and ruling the roost. Twice daily we go for walks to the local parks and preserves…it is good for us all. He is so well trained off leash that it makes our walks pure pleasure. 

 

Thankfully we have now found a wonderful local groomer so he is looking much spiffier after a walk at Foss Farm! 

 

With all the best wishes to you and yours for a peaceful and safe new year. 

 

Judy, Bob and Panda

 

 

 

 

 

That's great news, Dennis.

I just talked to my partner and we are in. Does this make us first pick up the litter? I’m very excited. Six months from now…June…might be just right… 

 

This is Winston and his best friend Harper. They commute to daycare together. Is that the Muppet show or what?

Hi Dennis,

Hope you are well and staying healthy (this drastic virus won’t let up it seems). Leo had a very successful neuter but he is definitely not a fan of the cone. A few more days and he will be free of it. He’s such a good boy and so smart! Up to 18.6 pounds now. Hope all is well on your end!

Dennis, 

 

Maya is all fluffed out by her older brother! He takes a lot of pride in it and it is relaxing for him. It’s so true that all dogs are therapy dogs!

Dennis,

Zayde turns 4 tomorrow! Thank you.

Dennis,

 

Yofie Moo sings happy birthday to Noah and then gives him a kiss. Happy birthday to my wonderful, sweet boy who is such a cool young man now. I love you more than words can say!

 

This beautiful little girl makes me so happy. It is her birthday. She is 3. I love you Yofie Moo!

Hi Dennis,

I'm Charlie’s aunt Karen. I live with Bob and Cheryl. I’m Cheryl sister. I was on your website and saw that you mentioned Tsarina, Charlie sister. Charlie has a wonderful personality. He loves all dogs, loves people and truly is a “good time Charlie!” His eyes sparkle; he loves to run and play. He’s the love of my life! Thank you, Dennis, 

 

His mom Lucy was a beautiful girl. Charlie has her mannerisms. Charlie’s puppy trainer is named Lucy, and he visits her every time he can. So the name Lucy makes his eyes sparkle! If you have a picture of Tsarina could you send it to me? Thanks again. 

 

Charlie sends you a big lick and a big Woof!

There is no show news. Haven't been to any. But as the weather gets better, there will be opportunities. In April the crew will return to the rings.

Travis has been busy getting two of the Doris kids ready for some spring/summer shows. Both Bunty and Abbott are beauties. He will have fun and make their debuts exciting for their owners.

Looking forward to Spring! With longer days and higher temperatures, more can be done out doors. The doggies are enjoying sun bathing this morning as we are experiencing a warmer day on the weather seesaw. Enjoy it when we can!

More later...
