Sophie starts her new adventure!!

Sophie (Erika x Carver) has headed to a wonderful home on an Alpaca Farm in Westfield.

They came to the Pet Supply store to pick her up and of course the "toy selection" was awesome ... I am sure that Sophie will be all set for quite awhile.

Best Buddies!!

This is Lauren and "Jake" (he is from the Isis x Tanner litter). They are truly best buddies!!

The passing of a great lady

The lady in this photo is Ida "Ree" Beckmann. (pictured here with four generations of dogs - many of which I own relatives of) She was the mother to my good friend Becky. I first met and spent time with her when I flew up to MN to pick up Kane and Ben. Her love for the dogs was so evident.

She passed away on March 2nd at the age of 81. She will be missed by so many!!


Here Ree with "Queen" (littermate sister to my boy "Mic")

Here she is with "Dixi" who is a pup I bred (Imp. Cloud x Mac) and now lives with Becky in MN. Ree just loved taking care of the pups. She loved on them all the time!!

Spot in the snow!!

Spot loves to play in the snow. He also is not picky about the 'toy' he plays with!!

New Jolly Ball!!

The dogs were thrilled when I came home with a new ball from the farm store!! (they didn't care that it was 'apple' scented... and really is labeled as a horse toy).
These balls are one of the favorite toys .... as they all can grab and tug on it.

Ben loves the balls.... he usually teaches the young dogs to chase them and bite them.

Ben will full mouth bite into them and leave plenty of teeth marks behind.

After the first day it already is showing plenty of "scars" from the day of play.

Ben is always sad when I toss it into a pen so he can't reach it. "REALLY Mom... I think you need to let it back out!!"
