Day Six

Ferdinand is growing like a weed!  Hush continues to be a wonderful mum.

Day Three

We unfortunately lost the little girl at hours old.  The boy, now known as Ferdinand, is growing like a weed!

Meet Lucy & Ricky

Hush had two puppies today via c-section.  The girl is on the left (6.5 oz) and the boy is on the right (10 oz.).  Both seem to be very active and fat.  Hush is being a great mum!

I guess she is comfy!

A week to go...

Tentative due date is June 26th.  You can email me at visions(at)nycap.rr.com for a link to view our new web cam!

Getting things ready...

We're starting to get things ready!  Our new puppy pen arrived and everyone, including Hush, approves of it as our new whelping box.  The pig rail and bumper pads will be added.  This will definitely be a big saver on my back.

Sixteen days and counting!

Summer Litter in the works

Puppies will be due the end of June.  We are very excited about this combination!

Hush's New Champion, 5th Major Win photo!

What a weekend!

It started with Luther becoming the proud father of 10 on Saturday. The dam is CH Mantle Sunspark Razzle Dazzle. They have 9 boys (4 blue, 5 black) and 1 black girl - beautifully marked with NO mismarks!

Today was a super day! Hush was Winners for her 5th major (this one 4 points) to finish her championship! *Pending AKC confirmation, Hush is officially known as *CH Heritage Hill Say No Moore.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Hush won her 4th Major on Sunday. She is now at 13 points.

A BIG thank you to Amy Scheibenpflug for her wonderful job presenting our girl!

2nd Major for Hush

Hush showed beautifully for her handler, Amy, and was WB for her 2nd major today at Great Barrington KC under judge Rita Bell. Thank you to all the nice comments ringside! It felt wonderful to be back showing!

Hush!

Hush loves her Natural Balance Duck & Potato treat roll.

1-2-3

First, there was one puppy ready for a nap.

Then there were two.

Which soon became three.

A good weekend!

Luther had his first show weekend in over a year, and in the opposite corner of the country with people he barely knows... In Primm, NV, Saturday he was Best of Breed over 3 other specials for his first major and on Sunday he was Select Dog for his second major for his first 8 points towards his Grand Championship.

Miss Hush was Best Opp in Sweepstakes on Saturday at the Maryland Specialty.

Spot, now known as Isabella, lives 8 miles away with a wonderful family and her new mum, a 12 year old girl, who has always wanted a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. As she left, I said that dreams do come true. Yes they do.

Overall it was a very nice weekend!

Specialty Proof!

Del Val Specialty

What a gorgeous day today has been! The sun was out, a beautiful breeze was blowing...

Last night I drove down from New York, stayed with our good friend, Genie, and was off today for the Del Val Specialty. This was only the 2nd time I have been able to go to this lovely show in PA. BTW... how many of you have heard of Ludwig's Corner, PA? Weather.com could not even find it!

But, it seems that Pastor Jim from Trinity Lutheran Church was a past pastor at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Ludwig's Corner! And it was only 1 mile from the show site. Since we were early, we did a quick detour and took this photo of St. Matthew's.

Isn't it just gorgeous in the morning glow?

Hush happened to be in season, but Debbie Moore was still willing to show her. It was a great call as she was Winners Bitch and Best Bred By! Thank you judge Steve Gladstone!! Here is all her loot...

Debbie was a real trooper as she then took Luther in for me, and he was a wild man since "his girl" was in season. Genie had Sabrina's brother (and Luther's half-brother), Tiller. Both boys were awarded Awards of Merit! Hush's half-sister was Best of Opposite.

I must say that this was a great show weekend! Congratulations to all the winners! There were some lovely dogs present.

And, thank you Penni for the "good luck" pendant as it certainly worked today!

Let sleeping dogs lie...

Luther, in his favorite sleeping position...

And Emma is thrilled to have Hush as her new best friend! The girls are inseparable!

They even decided to chew their nylabones together in Luther's crate.

Needless to say, Hush is fitting in wonderfully!

Oh! Remember this beautiful necklace I was given by Penni?

You should have seen Hush chase the yellow butterfly in the dog yard yesterday. And the beautiful, but stupid, bug landed directly in front of her. Yup, it was eaten... but the expression on Hush's face when she caught it was priceless! Alas, no camera available at the time...
