Our new Leo girl Edie and my grandson Bauer have a great time together! Who knew a whisk could be so much fun?!

The puppies continue  to grow and are becoming MUCH more vocal during “awake time”, Addie nurses about every 3 hours and always comes to get me just before she goes in the whelping box- bottle in hand we both feed the little squirmers! Addie’s food has been increased to 3 times her normal amount in order to keep up with milk production.  All the puppies’ eyes and ears are open now so it is a whole new world for them!

What a great day! Our mare Tartufo presented us with the sweetest little filly Wing and A Prayer CR( Faith )  She arrived early Friday morning.  (Sire: Cabardino) Mom and baby doing well!!!

We are happy to report that all is well with Addie and her baby Bergers!! Addie is a great Mom- very attentive and gentle with her babies.! All the babies are over 2lbs now so we are thrilled.

Congratulations to the Rynne family and Lily( Katie/Rogue) who made her show debut on Saturday!!Although Lily was  not completley thrilled with her debut -we know she is destined for great things with just a little more “show savy”!

It is a sad day here at the farm as we said good-bye to our beloved standard poodle Donny. Donny was a homebred and devoted to our family. He was our white shadow- accompanying our daughters jogging, waiting patiently in the barn with me on “foal watches”,welcoming friends to our home and dutifully warning off strangers. He had beauty as well as brains and appeared in the very last Eaton’s commercial.

He was kind and patient with the many puppies we have raised and he will be sadly missed. Donny you were not a good dog, you were a great one. I wish you warm spring days, rabbits to chase and long car rides with all the windows rolled down. I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge my friend.
