The Dog days of Summer

Today is the same as any other day. Lots of work to be done. Even though it is nice and warm outside I still have tons of things that need done everyday.

I do dog laundry everyday at least 2 to 4 loads. I have my own washer and dryer just for the dogs. Each dog or puppy has its own bed or pad to sleep on and there is always accidents in the morning so i try to keep up on it, but sometimes it gets backed up. My washer can only hold so many dog beds :)

Floor is swept and mopped, everyone gets breakfast, played with, brushed out, ect. That is a daily thing 365 days a week.

Today they will have to go "night night" early since I have my foot surgery and will need to rest the remainder of the night. I am sure they wont mind. The air will be on and so will the TV so they can relax the evening away. Sorry i have not posted in a while just been super busy and my blog seems to get pushed farther back on my list of things to do.

I have new puppy pics and videos I will be uploading on the website so check them out later today.

Bow Wow out :)

Scoop on the Poop

Been a few days since I blogged. I guess I have been too busy :) Also not feeling all that well. Tim came home from the house in Traverse City with the flu and I got it, but not as bad. He is still really coughing and sounds horrible. I just got the nose, eyes and throat of it. So far.

Dogs are enjoying the nice days. I love when they can be out laying around just being dogs. We had our Donkey's hoofs done on Sat. and I tossed the cut hoof pieces to the girls. They love things that are stinky and gross to chew on. So they chill outside knawing on thier treats.

I got Winnie's AKC Champion Cert. In the mail yesterday. She is now official. I guess work on her Grand CH and get her ranked. She is going out with Mary most of the summer since it is hard for me to leave the farm for days at a time. Mary loves her and really enjoys showing. I will take her out to the local shows but anything over an hour she goes with her.

Other than that not much happening. It is a raining drab day today and I should be working on my book. I am about a third of the way done. I need motivation :)

Bow wow out !!

Again it has been awhile

Not much going on in the Crested world lately, well at least not mine. Steph took 4 pts this past weekend in Toledo with Smudge. He is a hairless male out of Hayden and Fionia. Kind of a funny story, she used Fionia becasue she owns Hayden (A FEZ son) but was to give the co-owner of Fionia pick puppy back.

The whole time she kept saying that Smudge was pick and the other owner kept disagreeing so he took another puppy which turned into a pet and Steph kept smudge and he is almost finished with his AKC Championship and got a group 2 out of the classes. Guess she was right and he was wrong. maybe next time people will listen.

I think Izzy Steph's all black puff girl out of Hayden is preg. she was bred to Boeey and looking like a burnt sausage. I will keep everyone posted.

Show results

Sorry I have not been on in a while, but getting ready for my 5 day show weekend which started Thursday. Winnie the PS took Winners Bitch for a 5 pt major. She only needed 2 pts so that finished her and she is now an AKC Champion.

Today which is Sat. Was the PYren Shep. National Speciality show. Winnie was moved up to the Champion class and competed for Best of Breed. He (the judge ) was from France and spoke no English so we showed under an interpreter. He has been in PS's for over 50 years so he knew his stuff. There were 55 entered today and Winnie made it in the top 12 cut.

That is Unbelievable for a 13 month old puppy. She was the youngest Champion to compete. Her breeder was there from Canada and Just LOVES HER she said she needs to mature which is true. She brought me a true French Sheep bell from her trip to France. Boy the sheep are going to love me for this one. CLING CLING CLING all day and night.

Sable my CC on the other hand is still in her show rut. 3rd out of 6 in the Bred By class. Such a beautiful bitch but can't get a break. Sorry if I offend anyone, that's nothing new but the competition was well yet to be desired. Where is the consistency, the standard, it sucks to loose to dogs with no merit. Judges need to step back and re read the AKC standard. That's my grip for now.

Bow Wow out!!

Mode of Transportation

I am still with out my Truck, let's see it has been 8 days. But you know not really having to leave is a plus. Yesterday I had a few things to do, but just shanghaied my mom and we spent the day eating McDonald's, weeding at the winery, relaxing for an hour, taking a puppy to the vets, oh and eating our fill on Dunkin donuts. AAHHHH the joys of no transportation.

Hopefully it will be done today. It seems the service department has come down with a nasty bug. Hope they get the "Cooties" out of my truck before I get in it. I have the BIG PS nationals next weekend and 5 days of showing and driving is no fun when you are sick.

Bow wow out!!!

When it rains, it pours.

Actually, that is so true even literally. Raining pretty hard today and the rest of the week. We really do not need more water. My hay fields are getting tall, and if they go to seed the hay is to stalkie for the sheep. But more rain makes it grow faster which in turn makes it seed sooner.

Dogs are in today, not happy about the rain. Henni my bw puff can clear any fence so when they are in and out she has to be crated otherwise she will be all over the countryside. So she got a nice snack and will spend her day curled up watching TV. I think Regis and Kelly is on for them.

Waiting to hear on my truck. You know I should break down and get a new vehicle and it would solve everything. But who wants that huge payment :( If I commit to that payment it really limits my extra curricular activities. So what is the point of a new truck if you have no money to drive it or no money to spend when you get there.

Bow wow out!!

Welcome Allison, want to hear the POOP?

Hey, It was nice to see my long lost CC friend, Allison, is a follower. (She just follows so she can have her daily laugh.)

I know she is sitting back, saying "Glad that's not me"

Well, Allison, my truck is broke so where are my Lottery winnings. You know we had a promise.

Great, you get to keep up on the latest POOP, got plenty of it.

Bow Wow out!!
