Spring is Here!

Spring blooms

We have enjoyed a wonderful stretch of weather in southwestern PA. The snow has (mostly) melted revealing dirt, mud, litter (where does this come from?), and all the remains of projects left undone. What a mess! We have a lot of work to do around here. And the clean up outside is not the only [...]

Update on Griffin and Rossi

Griffin and Rossi left this past week. It is so strange here with the pups leaving one by one! Rossi is now, Louie and living near Pittsburgh, PA. I always worry about the first few days and how the adjust goes for them. Louie’s new owners report: “Louie is such a great dog. We just [...]

Kimber Flies to Warm, Sunny Texas

Kimber was supposed to leave yesterday, but the weather delayed the flight a day. So she spent her last day romping and playing in yet another snow storm. I love when I let the pups outside in the morning–as soon as the door opens their noses start. It is the coolest thing to hear puppies [...]

Remi Returns, Kimber is Leaving, and Reports From New Owners

Just an update on the pup’s status… Remington came back to us today. It was a heart-wrenching decision for the Rawlings who had fallen in love with him. They have an older dog and it just wasn’t working out. It probably would have in time–it usually does–but for everyone concerned and for the older dog’s [...]

Kolar-Bear Goes to His New Family

After meeting with Sioux’s new family, we set out in another direction to meet Kolar’s new family! As difficult as it was to see any of the pups leave, I don’t think it has been any secret that I’ve had some sort of special relationship with my “Kolar-Bear”. I can’t explain it and I don’t [...]

New Photos of the Gunners

The puppies are really coming along. They are quickly outgrowing our basement living room. The weather has just not cooperated much to let them romp in the yard. First, there was too much snow, then it was a sheet of ice, then a mud slide. Today, just as the latest storm started, the pups finally [...]

Gunners Update

The Gunners are changing and growing like mad. They are nice bold pups. They’ve enjoyed romps around the living room and are quite the bunch let me tell you! I still cannot put them with the Indians because the Indians are, well, Indians and really like to muscle the Gunners around. They are just too [...]

The Puppies Get Visitors

We woke up to a bit more snow today…. What a pretty morning, indeed. It makes for a busy one with lots of added chores, but I really do not mind it at all. I can work long hours in the cold vs. the heat! Taking care of the dogs and pigeons is the first [...]

Gunners and Indians and Pooping, Oh My!

Did you ever have 18 Llewellin Setter puppies running around your living room? Oh my gosh–what a hoot! Now, I would not advise it but if you do ever get experience this you should be prepared. Wear clothing you don’t mind getting ruined. And make sure all body parts are covered. Shoes and gloves are [...]

The Gunners are 4 Weeks Old!

These darlings are coming along very well. I brought them out to the living room tonight after putting the Indians to bed. My goodness did they have a ball! First, they found the food dish and had a few nibbles. They had a drink from the water dish. Then they were into everything exploring. They [...]
