Across the River

You know the old time photos where the subjects all have frowns, look so serious as if scowling from having to sit so long for the photograph to be taken... This is how my dogs must have felt after a while :)

Morning Walk, Across River VIDEO

We rise at 5:00 AM and head to the field across the river. On the days we do this, they tend to be the best days. I grew a half mile from this field. It is a place of many memories. It is a place where I used to ride horses and took Caccha, Willow, Theia. It is a place where my Mother would take us as children to swim in the river, that would rise and fall with the tides. It is a place where childhood friends and I would explore and run through the grasses. We depart for Hancock, NH tomorrow. It has a been an enjoyable week here in Guilford, CT

Pearl is in Heat

     This thought has been tumbling around in my head: "I could breed Nash and Pearl again."

     My original intentions were to breed Nash and Pearl once. Pearl gave me exactly what I had dreamed - WillowSunshine. The breeding, whelp, raising and placing puppies went very well. All the puppy owners are most pleased and I receive many compliments on the puppies easy going and friendly temperaments, their athleticism, train ability, and desire to work and retrieve. pearl has bounce back nicely from raising the litter and is in great shape. Nash is doing great and not getting any younger, so the time would be now.

This current litter is truly a very special litter with a specific purpose. All the little souls arrived and found their person or family.

     It is hard to say to whom these new little souls would be destined, but if this nagging thought does not go away surely the universe has a plan for them... Stay tuned.

Across the River

We are currently visiting family in Guilford, CT. The above two photos are of Willow and Theia in their prime running in the field across the river. We went there yesterday (Nash, Pearl, WillowSunshine, Tibby, and my Mother -who is visiting from the Baja where she lives).
