Recognize anyone?

My cousin is a fabulous water color artist! Don't you just love this?!?

You can get your own archival print from her Etsy shop!

While we wait...

I am going to turn the cam and my computer off for a few hours as the computer needs a break.

For your viewing pleasure...

The web cam is up!

You can visit us here.

NOTE: Here is the link for Mare Stare cam help. Tech support is also great.

We have found that it cannot be viewed on the newest version of Firefox. I keep my computer at V2, not V3. I recommend using IE if Firefox will not work for you.

As one finshed, one started!

What a great weekend it was for the Luther kids in the Pacific Northwest! Le'o sent us a note that her beautiful Panda was WB & BOW in Seattle for her first two points yesterday! Congrats!!

Congrats to team Sterling, team Ransom and good news for Star!

Luther is very proud to announce his first Champion son!!

A BIG CONGRATS to Kim, Leo & Sterling! Sterling finished his Championship yesterday by going WD/BOW for 2 points! Thank you Kim Kiefer for letting me know of the great news! I will post his win photo as soon as I get it!

NEWS FLASH: Kris just reported in that Ransom had a SUPER weekend! Today he won his CPE Standard Championship!! (That's 15 Qs in Level 5.) He is now officially C-ATCH Visions Steal a Million RN OAP OJP NAC TG-N ChST!

And, not to be out done, Bette, also did very well at the trial and is just 1 Jackpot and 2 standard Qs away from her C-ATCH! Good going you guys!!

And we are so happy to report that after an xray yesterday to do a headcount, the ultrasound was WAY off! Star is expecting 3 (not 8) wee ones. *happy dance* I so love smaller litters. If you would share good thoughts and prayers for an easy whelping and healthy litter, it would be so appreciated.

The web cam should be up and running tomorrow. When it is I will share the link. For now you can see her snuggling with Leonard...


And until the big event arrives, it seems that our senior citizen of the house has taken over her whelping pool.

Happy Birthday Luther, and litter mates!

Happy 3rd Birthday Dream kids!

Nellie, the Vizsla, taking good care of our wee ones.

L-R: Roxy, Luther, Star, Destiny & Honor-Bug.

Olivia & Luther

Thank you Demi. Your last gift to us still so precious. We miss you.

The best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray...

Dear friends of ours have a pair of Cardigans from me. Dylan is a handsome blue male from Sabrina's sister and CH Sno Shu Grizzly Bear ROM. Star, a beautiful black, Luther's littermate, is my pick bitch from that litter. She is the 2nd from the right in my banner.

The plan was for me to show them this year. They (the dogs, not the people) decided they wanted puppies instead. Not exactly planned but It should be a very nice breeding.

Ultrasound counted at least 8. We will have an xray done on Saturday. Then I will bring her home, get her settled in and whelp the litter.

I should have the web cam set up this weekend. Any extra eyes to watch while we wait would be greatly appreciated!

I think I may be back.... and a surprise!

For a little while anyway. Still lurking on email lists, but will try to comment on blogs. We bought a new keyboard so I have something bigger to use than the dinky one on the laptop. We also bought new "ergobead" wrist rests for both the keyboard & the mouse. This does make typing a bit more comfortable.

And the surprise... click here!
