Tender Touch Training

Tonight’s training was all about tender touch. When on the table, my daughter has the tendency to manhandle Teddy, using her full hand instead of finger tips while stacking him on the table. He is a lot smaller than he appears – That coat makes him look...

He’s One Week Old

It’s amazing what can happen in one week of a puppy’s life! Look at how much the chocolate wonder has changed! He is already up to 9.25 ounces – and his head has de-squished since his birth. His dome and his stop are developing and more of his cream...

Dream’s New Family

As comfortable as we have been about Dream living out her days in our family, an opportunity presented itself this evening that we simply could not pass up! Our dearest friends came over for a visit and within moments, fell in love with her. They already adopted Rane...

No Problems in the Food Department

Here He Is!

I have to say, after a good night’s sleep, a ubber filled belly and a new day’s light, our little chocolate wonder is doing fantastic and so is his mommy, Treasure! Both have settled in very...

Thunder Booming Arrival

Not that today’s storms are out of the norm for this summer’s weather patterns but it was basically dark and dreary all day with thunder boomers and close striking lightening all afternoon. I don’t know if that is exactly what jump-started the labor...

Flagging All Over

Barbie and Dream are now both flagging (any experienced breeder couldn’t figure that one out with one glance at this photo) and it’s a 24-7 hump fest in my living room. The joys of females in season!

Mop Day

With the way our home is set up, the dogs LOVE the atrium window in our kitchen and can be seen napping or playing in the doggy beds that line the windows. I normally wash the beds at night when they are asleep, allowing them to wake to a squeaky clean floor and...
