Brrrr...that kinda cools things down!
But Summer heat is here. And it has been rainy as well. Heat + Rain makes the weeds grow...but also the garden flowers. It has been a particularly colorful garden this year.
Bay Colony Tibetan Terrier Club also enjoyed their annual Specialty in conjunction with Ladies Dog Club. It was a fun event, colored itself with beautiful ribbons and prizes. There were majors in both sexes, and many many Specials.
I can boast a bit myself as Travis Brock finished Bunty during that weekend. Congratulations to Les, Nancy, and Travis. Now their beautiful girl is a new champion...
CH Terpsichorean's Fire From Kiara.
Always enjoy receiving news, birthday announcements, unusual occurrences, and just up-dates on how the many Kiara's are doing. I celebrate and commemorate their lives with you. Thank you for sharing with me.
Dennis,
Terpsichorean Fire From Kiara “Bunty” returned home after The Bay Colony Tibetan Terrier Club Specialty weekend a champion from the Bred by Exhibitor classes (pending AKC confirmation). She was awarded Best of Winners on Sunday by Judge Sydney Good, gaining the final three points. As you see she is loved by her owners Nancy and Les. I am grateful for their dedication to the two Doris pups they own.
Bunty is my third champion sired by Gail Toracinta’s boy Ruben (CH Sumanshu Tingsha’s Marvel) bred by Petra Keulers.

Hi Dennis,

Debbie and Jim posted this beautiful photo of their KDee who is celebrating her 11th birthday!
Hi Dennis,
So great to hear from you and especially with that good news. The answer is a definite YES! Thank you so much for reaching out. I hope all goes well.
We are having a glorious summer, now that it is here. We had cold and rainy weather until about July 4th. While miserable, it does help with keeping the wildfires at bay.
The boys are doing great. Scoot is still chugging along. I actually did not think he would still be with us but he is living his best life and relaxing day after day. He goes on an occasional walk and loves seeing his other friends. Scoot, Ranger, and AJ go on hikes on the mountain every day. They love going in the streams along the way to get a drink and cool off, and they are forever scavenging for anything they can find. They sure hit the jackpot here, as we have too. Here are some fun pics. Scoot sitting on the platform on the ski lift. Also including some other guests in our backyard!
All the best,
Susan
Dennis,
We would love to get another puppy from you. We would like another brindle puppy, male or female. Do you have any puppies now or are you expecting a litter? I will give you a call today, because I wanted to let you know about Ziggy. Just didn’t want to be crying during the whole conversation.
Ziggy gave us so much love and happiness. Dennis, you breed such beautiful dogs that we would very much like another puppy to raise.
Best,
Debbie
Hi Dennis,
Kai is a happy healthy boy! He’s having fun exploring Green Lakes Park in Upstate New York today.
Happy summer!
Colleen and Kai
Look at them, Dennis. "We are being good. Give us treats!"
Laura
Hey Dennis,
We are all still in Bedford and will be in Maine at the end of the month. It is a back-and-forth year. Young Rocky certainly knows who carries the treats. I am more strict particularly after he ate my book. He certainly is a charmer and morning walks take time as he sniffs and smells everything. Talk about social!! He also has opinions! There is a small white dog that is carried everywhere that he can’t stand. I won’t repeat what he said. I think he will love Maine but we will still keep him on a leash. Not sure what other creatures are out there. Neutering is planned in early August.
Hope you and yours are well.
Cheers,
Judy
PS good thing we bought furniture 10 years ago that is covered in the same material as dog beds!
Benny and Toby are resting after some hard play. The white fluff near them are the innards from a dog toy they have taking apart.

Dennis,
Roadie is ready to represent that DAR Deborah Sampson Chapter today at the Halifax Fur Festival as we raise money for Semper K9 Assistance Dogs! We are here Noon to 4 PM. Come on down and say hi!
Jill
Dennis,
So happy to report Myrtle and Winston were the ring bearers at our wedding a few weeks ago.
XOXO
They were the cutest ever.
Myrtle is tiny! 20 pounds!

And yes, that was Mike McLoughlin's Ozzie lounging on a porch chair, leading off this edition of the Kiara News & Reviews. Ozzie is maturing handsomely. He continues on his show-dog journey.

With sadness I share the news about
Sue's Monk,
Debbie's Ziggy,
and
Susan's Scooty,
each who found their way over
the Rainbow Bridge.
I am always grateful to know
how they were loved...
right to the time
you have to say goodbye.
Hi Dennis,
We got a wonderful TT puppy from you back in 2008 and named him Monk. He was a wonderful dog – brought us so much joy. Sadly, we said goodbye to him in January, just before he turned 15 years old. Our home is too empty and quiet and we’re thinking about bringing a dog into our family this fall. Are you still breeding TTs? Would love to hear about any who might become available.
Sue
Dennis,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly and for understanding the pain. We are grateful to be on your list for the late summer/fall. Monk was such a handsome guy!!
Sue
Dennis,
Yes, I am sorry to tell you that Ziggy went to doggy heaven two weeks ago. We are devastated and grieving for our wonderful, gorgeous, sensitive, mischievous, athletic dog who would turn 13 in two weeks. Ziggy tore his ACL eight years ago and the other ACL last June. They were both repaired surgically. The first repair lasted until last year and the second surgery never worked. Ziggy was such a beautiful dog that he stopped traffic wherever we went from Scottsdale, Arizona to Martha’s Vineyard where we now live permanently.
We miss Ziggy much! Thank you, Dennis, for sharing your wonderful puppies.
Debbie
We said goodbye to Scooty today. We knew it was coming but it’s still hard. He was absolutely the sweetest dog we have ever had. He loved his meals, he loved his sleep, he didn’t love a hike…but he always came! He loved all his doggy friends and most of all he loved us and we loved him.
Susan

And last --but not least-- I want to celebrate with you, a beautiful photo Alejandra Gurevich took of Cooper (CH Kiara Ewok Among Us).
Jane, Don, Travis, and Miles recently celebrated Cooper's 14th birthday. I put Cooper up in the new "In The Spotlight". You can view it in another part of the Kiara website:

and celebrate his life.
More later...
