Herding Cats

Have you ever heard that expression before? It is impossible.. I am feeling that a bit about Belle. She is like trying to herd cats. Wherever I put her, is not where she wants to be. In the x pen, she jumps out. Out of the x pen she tries to jump in the pool. In the house, she is on the back of the couch trying to jump off. And NEVER in the crate. She NEVER wants to be in the crate. Where does she want to be?? I can't figure it out. But trying to keep her out of trouble is a lot like trying to herd cats....By the way, Kendra likes wherever Belle is not.

The smell of coffee

Here I sit, 5 o'clock in the morning. The puppies have decided that no matter what, they are not sleeping past 5. So, I sit and wait for the coffee to brew. It has been so stinking hot, maybe they have the right idea. Wake up early and then go back to bed when it is 100 degrees. It just makes for a really long day.

Dont' Tell me Anything

Don't tell me anything.. I don't want to know...

The no call list

Have you ever called someone and it is just not a good time. Or do you have a friend where you are the only one that calls. Well, I have them as well and they are on my "no call list". I wait until they call me. I have just shared with Newell about this list. He was amazed that he is on the list. Oh well. Can you guess who else is on it?

Newest addition: Blackrock Belle of Savannah V Brissago. A Tanner daughter!!

Off to Get Belle

Well here I am again in the wee hours of the morning, loading up the car and getting ready for another trip. This weekend I am off to North Carolina. I am meeting a lovely family to deliver them their new puppy Jasmine and also hooking up with Trisha to get Belle. I have been hearing stories of her all week about escaping from x pens and the like. I just can't wait to meet her. Also, it will be nice to spend some nice time with my new friend Trisha. It is amazing to me how these dogs bring people together. Because of her decision to use Tanner for breeding, we now have a friendship that hopefully will continue for a long time.

puppies going home

Well, it has been a quick 8 weeks. The puppies begin their journey to their new homes beginning today. They have been to the vets, they have had their nails cut and the first one today gets to experience the bath. That usually is about the worst thing that has happened to them since the trauma of birth. But, when it is all over and they are all fluffy and sweet there is nothing cuter. It is always sad to see them start to go, but I am anxious to start bonding with my own puppy.
