Johnny got bit by a copperhead!

I let Johnny and Jane out after eating last night, and a copperhead must have been right at the door. Johnny had gone out first, and I grabbed Jane and yanked her back in as I saw the snake. That left Johnny outside with the snake. I called him back inside, yelling loudly because heContinue reading “Johnny got bit by a copperhead!”

Before and after pictures of ear taping

A friend brought a nearly 5 month old puppy over for ear taping. A veterinarian had attempted to glue pre-made inserts into the ears. The puppy scratched the inserts out by the time they got home. Unfortunately, the glue had to be cleaned out before we could do the taping. Cleaning it out caused someContinue reading “Before and after pictures of ear taping”

Two dumb things I did

If you’ve been reading my blog, you’ve probably seen Winston and Clyde together and happy. I generally had been letting Winston, Clyde, and SeeSee out together. They got along reasonably well as long as there was nothing to fight over. Recently, Daphne was in heat when I took her, SeeSee, and Roz to a dogContinue reading “Two dumb things I did”

See See’s Win Photo

I can’t believe how great See See looks in this picture! I’m so proud of her! I’m also proud of the fact that I put all the points on her myself, which is hard to do with all the really good competition and professionals out there. But I had a lot of support from myContinue reading “See See’s Win Photo”

See See is a champion! And her daughters are winning too!

We had two four-day dog show weekends in a row in Doswell, Virginia. The first weekend we did not do well at all. But we hung in there, and it paid off big time! The second weekend we could not have done better. I entered all three of my girls again, and each one gotContinue reading “See See is a champion! And her daughters are winning too!”

Happy birthday to Winston!

Ch. Sir Winston Churchill Out of Sight, BCAT, CD is 6 years old today. When he was born, he had a big fat head. My husband thought he looked like Winston Churchill. After his nose grew out, he didn’t look so much like his namesake, but he still has that same air of importance. HereContinue reading “Happy birthday to Winston!”

Happy birthday to Jane’s puppies born February 6th, 2021!

Four year old pic: Missing are current pics from Pony, Appaloosa, Filly, Quarterhorse, Dressage, and Percheron! As you can tell from the names, this was my “horse” litter. The last I heard, they were all doing well, and most new owners ended up changing their names. I’d love to know they are living their bestContinue reading “Happy birthday to Jane’s puppies born February 6th, 2021!”
