Dora and the puppies are doing great! Dora still needs out several times during the night and she is being a picky eater, but that is very normal. The pups are gaining weight and are a very content bunch. The dew claws will be removed tomorrow and I will name them and get individual [...]

Announcing the Arrival of the Dora x Steele Litter
Posted by LML on December 29th, 2011
Well, the puppies are finally here! We welcomed 8 lovely Llewellin Setter puppies into the world last night. I think Dora is all finished, now and has been resting comfortably (and exhausted) for about 2 hours. I think it is safe to say she is finished, but I have been wrong before. We [...]
Getting Closer!
Posted by LML on December 22nd, 2011
I am still trying to gather a few supplies without traveling too far. Hubby was going to bring my whelping kit with him when he came this weekend but as it turns out, he wont be able to make the trip. I had to reorder some items and will run out tomorrow for the rest… [...]
The Countdown…
Posted by LML on December 21st, 2011
As the world counts the days until Christmas and/or the New Year, I am pretending as though it isn’t so (obviously because I am not ready and havent even started for that matter) and just acting like its life as usual and focusing attention on darling Dora and her huge bumpy belly! I apologize [...]
All Ready For Puppies!
Posted by LML on December 20th, 2011
The new puppy room is finally coming together, just in time for Dora who is very uncomfortable with quite a large belly full of wriggling Steele puppies! The room needed several coats of paint and that task seemed to take me forever! There was a dark- and light-blue speckling thing going on that [...]

Well, we are just a few weeks away from the arrival of Dora x Steele puppies! I am so excited. This will be the first litter born at the UP, Michigan kennels. I brought a whelping box with me while home in PA over Thanksgiving. I need to get it painted and figure out where, [...]

It’s great to have a camera again, even if it isn’t the camera I love, it does inspire me to blog again. I just feel I need photos to go with words, like French Vanilla Coffee Mate creamer with my coffee, one just isn’t much of anything without the other! So, today was the [...]
Stoney Update
Posted by LML on January 3rd, 2011
I received a few photos of Stoney (now Riley, from the Streams–Dora x Luke, litter). What a handsome fellow–he looks just like his sire, Luke!
Update on Rock (Now Tuck, from the Streams litter)
Posted by LML on January 2nd, 2011
I thought I should share an update on Rock (out of Dora x Luke), who now lives in Anchorage, AK. Here is what his new Mom had to say: I promise myself I will get the pictures of little, well not so little man out running the woods. We have been out again, we went [...]
The Mid-August Blues…
Posted by LML on August 16th, 2010
Hi All! What’s new with you? It’s seems like it has been a very l-o-n-g, hot, boring, summer. Not so boring with the puppies, of course, but just too warm this year to do half of what I usually can get accomplished. I’ve tried and tried and I just can’t handle the heat. It makes [...]
