Wow, how the summer comes and goes so fast! I wanted to let everyone know that first, both Klein and Gucci found homes during my one week trip to Hawaii back in May. Anyone who was asking about them, I’m sorry, they are very much happy in their new homes. I knew those two boys would be snatched up super fast, they were both lovely.
Next, I’m going to make a post this week about traveling and vacationing with your pets if anyone is interested. If you are, speak up so I can keep my motivation high to get this done. We have just returned from a week at Disney and we took the dogs with us. If anyone has ever wondered how I travel, book vacations, etc while taking anywhere from 3-5 dogs, this will be your chance to see how it’s done.
Lastly, the kids start school in a week!!! I can’t believe it! I call them time sinks because I can’t get anything accomplished when they are home. Once they are back in school I can start getting Jazz and Lina back in obedience training, and think about what the next few months holds for us here as far as Jazz’s possible litter this winter and any shows the pups might be attempting. I really want to breed Jazz this next season, because she is turning 4 and only had the one litter. On the flip side, the thought of a winter litter makes me a bit sick at my stomach. I remember her last bunch, 12 babies in the dead of winter. It was HARD and I am not sure I am up for it. I’ve got a few more months to decide, so we will see what happens.
For those of you with pups from the Ziva and Cory litter, I’m going to get the AKC papers to Kelsey this week for her to sign (she’s the co-breeder and must sign the paperwork). She will forward on the papers for you guys to sign and finish filling out and mail on to AKC. I’ll include all the envelopes needed to get this accomplished. Sorry for the delay. Those papers have been sitting on my kitchen counter for months, buried under a bunch of kids school books. I cleaned up the books and went OH NO, PAPERS!
If you have emailed me lately and have no received a response, send again. I did about 30 emails last week that I have been neglecting for the last month and I would not be surprised if I missed a few by reading them and not keeping them as new. I have a few more from the last week I just haven’t been able to get done as of yet. I’m working on it, rest assured.
Here are a few photos of Jazz, River, and Lina after I groomed this right before our Disney trip. I can’t stand traveling in a car full of smelly dogs so everyone had to get cleaned up for the trip.
