HELP! Two dogs in need!

These adorable Daschund brothers need a foster or furever home.  Gil and Bert are 5 years old and need to be placed in a home by Monday, May 23rd.  They are currently located in Phoenix, AZ.  They were fostered by a family who had an emergency and could not keep them and then went to a temporary foster who needs them re-homed by Monday because of too many pets in her household.  Can you or anyone you may know open their heart and their home to these sweet boys?  Please email me if you are interested in more information or if you have access to an open rescue/foster situation.

Samantha's Third Point

Samantha is out being shown by Greg Larson.  This was her first point with Greg going Best of Winners.  The judge that day does not like hairspray - so here she is au'natural!

It's Dinner Time!

It's A Girl!

I am happy to announce that Violet had her ONE puppy on Thursday morning at 4:30am - a black and white girl!  Momma and baby are doing quite well.  Their check-up at the vet today went great!

Will There Be Puppies On The Way?

I am excited to announce my latest breeding!

Group Winning Champion Xeralane's Johnny Angel has been bred to my girl Violet - WoTeH'sin Booty-N-Charm.  You can follow the links for pictures and information on both dad and mom.  I'm hoping for February babies!  For more information, please email me at wotehsinst@aol.com.

Thank you to Earl Takahashi and Adrian Agard for helping me make this breeding a reality.  It's been in the planning stages for some time.

For now, fingers are crossed!

Happy Thanksgiving

Not much going on here on this traditional holiday.  Except we are being nontraditional.  No turkey.  No gravy.  Shrimp cocktail was for lunch.  Salmon with broccoli for dinner shared with the mutts!  Chocolate dipped raspberries for desert.  Yum!  :)

I had wonderful news today!  More on THAT later!  :)

Here is hoping that you and yours have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday - traditional or not!
