I'm back after a week away and oh it does feel good to be home. I missed the kids that didn't get to go along. The trip would not have been possible without the help of one Peppi Anstett who came to doggy sit the herd. Thank you Thank you Peppi!
I started in WI to assist with Lolli's litter. Sadly only one puppy was born alive, but he is spectacular. Apparently Bryce only makes boys, but that is okay because he makes really really nice boys. "Phillip" is a very dark chocolaty sable who appears to have his granddaddy Gavin's looks. He is growing like a little weed, Lolli is being a wonderfully attentive mom and Sahra is managing some sleep. A win-win all the way around.
This weekend Spice, Hope and Calvin made the trip to MN. Hope is now in her new adopted home and once again, it's made to order. I could not be happier with this placement and seeing the pictures from her first day Hope looks very happy too. Spice qualified both Fri and Sat in Beginners Novice to earn her BN title. Calvin finished his RN on Friday too. Gorgeous purple and white rosettes for new titles were a bonus. Unfortunately the plans for legs on Calvin's CD were sabotaged by the "anticipated recall" bug. It's okay though because up to that point he had outstandingly high scores going in the mid 190's on Fri/Sat and 180's on Sun. Calvin is not a 3 day dog but he sure gave it his all. He'll be heading home soon but I hope to have him back down the road to go out and get that CD. He was so much fun to show! My thanks to Deb and Scott for letting me show Calvin and for providing the funds so that Spice could show too. If not for them she wouldn't have been able to show.
Until next time...
