Puppy Updates (12/15/11)

• Trinka is in Phase 1 this week!

•   Kirsten has been career changed for behavior problems and is back down in Oregon waiting for her forever home.

• Cadence is finally going to be going to the Seattle club.  She went into season and was down at the Oregon campus and just came back this past weekend.  

•  I haven't puppy-sat in awhile and FINALLY had the chance to take Valeria to work with me for the day.  She is a sweet little thing  that is really easy going but loves the dirt from mole hills (she is a little bit of a garbage mouth). 

Below are some pictures of Valeria and from our Christmas party....Enjoy! :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New Year! :) My sister is getting married this weekend so we have family coming into town and then it's Christmas and New Years.  It seems like this year has flown by and I'm looking forward to what next year has in store. 

Puppy Updates

• Cadence is being transferred to the Seattle club next week
• Kirsten is in season 
• Kyra is doing well 
• Trinka is heading back tomorrow for breeder evaluations! Good Luck to Trinka! :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! :)

Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze

The first of October our club (along with two other clubs) participated in our annual pumpkin patch and corn maze outing. My husband and I happened to win for the second year in a row!  I mainly attribute that to Kelli (the leader of one of the other clubs) amazing sense of corn maze map reading. We had Simba for the day which is a brother of the famous chocolate lab Snickers! Simba was transferred to our club and he's a BIG dog. As in I don't remember the last time we had a dog that big in our club. He's just really tall and STRONG. I was able to get pictures of all the dogs in our club though truth be told, some cooperated a little bit better than the others. :) Here they are in no particular order:

Cadence:

 Kyra:

Trinka:

Simba:

We also got a new transfer dog to our club, but I won't have any information till our club meeting tomorrow.  Also, Trinka is on breeder watch and will probably be heading back next month.  I will leave you with this picture of Simba.  He was totally worn out so  he was laying on his bed and I was taking a little nap on the couch.  I woke up to this and was trying really hard not to laugh...HI SIMBA! :)

This weeks update:

Valentino-Phase 4
Joanne-Phase 0

I'll leave you with a picture of 10 week old yellow lab/golden cross Cadence
from our club meeting on Tuesday.

Welcome Miss "C"! :)

Joanne went back the middle of May and another dog from our club, Valentino, is currently down there too. I didn't get the Phase Report this week, but Valentino was in Phase 1 and Joanne was in Phase 0 the week before. That left us with only one dog in our club (Trinka) until 2 weeks ago when a little puppy arrived to our club. :)

Welcome Cadence!! :) She was born on March 16th, 2011 and her parents are Simon and Leslie. She is 3/4 lab, 1/4 golden and an adorable little thing! She is very light in color (almost white instead of yellow). I spaced on bringing my camera (I know, me of all people) so thanks to someone else for getting these pictures!





Our leader (who had Joanne) is getting a puppy sometime in July. I'm secretly hoping it will be a dog from Petal's litter. Petal was Donata's mom and both Donata AND Petal were raised by our leader. We shall see!! :)
