The older dogs are trying to entertain me while I am sick with Covid, See See is in heat, I’m missing a 4 day dog show weekend, and the Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade.

Wally
Unserlieben Stonewall was born June 23rd, 1993, 29 years ago today. He came into my life at 7 weeks of age, on my 8th wedding anniversary, August 16, 1993. I got him from a breeder in Michigan, and he had the best temperament and trainability of any dog I have ever known. Wally is theContinue reading “Wally”
See See is in heat again, rescuing, and the importance of spaying and neutering!
No, I am not breeding her this heat cycle. See See is only 16 months old and has not been x-rayed yet. She must be 2 years old in order to get certified by OFA, greatly reducing the likelihood of having puppies with bad hips or elbows. The household is in upheaval.

VKC dog class, last night
It was a small class because the Fishersville shows are this weekend, and people are bathing, grooming, and loading up. I’ve got See See, Liz has Clyde, and Ashley has her dog. Thank you Michael for shooting the video!

Grandma’s China cabinet, Dad’s duck, Mom’s dishes, and playful puppies

He never killed anything again. It was preserved by his taxidermist uncle. My mom collected vintage Fiestaware. Some ofContinue reading “Grandma’s China cabinet, Dad’s duck, Mom’s dishes, and playful puppies”
A blast from the past, and future plans.
I’m getting a water neutralizer (my water is too acidic and it’s eating up my pipes) so I had to clean out a storage area in my house. I ran across these pics and decided to share. Wally was my “heart” dog. The smartest thing I ever did was have his semen collected at OhioContinue reading “A blast from the past, and future plans.”
Clyde in dog class
Virginia Kennel Club had weekly dog class this evening. Clyde was a good boy.
Winston wins Beginner Novice AKC obedience title!
I’m so proud of Winston. He did exceptionally well today and got his third leg which completes the qualifications for the BeginnerNovice title in AKC obedience. He scored 197.5 out of 200. This was the highest score of dogs entered in both Beginner Novice A and B competition. I was very nervous about today becauseContinue reading “Winston wins Beginner Novice AKC obedience title!”
