Happy Birthday

Lowri - A year ago today, I gave birth to NINE puppies.  Holy cow, was I glad to get that done!  TM was right there doing what she could to help.  Kevin, the happy papa, was passing out cigars - whatever those are. 
The Mob

I am the good mama.
Here are a couple of pictures from back then.

I may be doing this again the end of December.  TM doesn't know yet, and I am not telling.

Herding Trials Last Weekend

Lowri - TM and I went to Herding trials this weekend.  Okay, Kevin came too, but he didn't get to trial.  I got to trial on ducks twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday.  I was mostly on my game, and sort-of listened to TM. 

On Saturday, I took a 3rd on Advanced B Course Ducks and 2nd on Advanced A Course Ducks.  TM said I was just out of the points.  On Sunday, I got down to business.  My B Course run was BEAUTIFUL!  I made those ducks get in a row and marched them around the course.  I won the class.  Then I went out and won the A Course class as well.  Of course, I did need to make TM sweat a bit.  I bounced and bounced at my ducks.  TM tried to get me to stop it, but I was having too much fun.  I had a crowd of fans who love my bouncing.  TM is just going to have to suck it up.

Kevin - TM and I went and did two tracks.  They were my first ones this year.  I remembered exactly what to do.  We did one at 200 yards and one at 300 yards.  I found all TM's lost items.  On the second day, when I finished the 300 yard track, I got my breakfast - right there in the field.  That makes tracking even more fun.  I loved having breakfast out.

Maybe Babies

Lowri - TM has taken her muzzle off.  I may be having BABIES!  When TM and I went up North last week, I ... I... Well, I can't say I met my boyfriend.  I met the vet.  I met the techs, I met some equipment.  There were no flowers, no wine - well, I whined a bit.  No dinner first.  Nothing.  TM told me that they used pupsicles.

TM - Okay, I just can't stand it. We bred Lowri last week when I went up North . I am really hoping that she settled. If we are lucky, we will have puppies December 28th - or there about. Here is the pedigree of the hoped-for litter. I have my fingers crossed that my new baby girl will be in this litter. Sire is BISS AM/CAN CH Phi-Vestavia Neon Black RN HT ROMs.   Here is the pedigree:  http://www.cardiped.net/testmating.php?dam=72213&sire=63737

Busy Four Days

Lowri - We have had a BUSY four days.  On Thursday, TM and I drove about 500 miles up to Maryland.  We spent the evening with TM's brother and family.  TM and I and Ms. Emily and her two dogs, Mickey and Dodger, went for a long walk.  It was great to stretch my legs after such a long ride.  We had a great time.  I got to know Mickey and Dodger pretty well on that walk.  Mickey was very cute and an interesting boy.  Dodger was...young.  I liked Mickey a LOT.  I chose him as my next boyfriend.  He is a Wire-haired Dachshund.  TM didn't seem to mind at all.  I think it is because she said he was "neutered", whatever that is.  I cuddled him and groomed him and showed him what I wanted.  He had no clue.  What a bust as a boyfriend.

I think his tractor's sexy

Isn't Mickey handsome?
Friday, we drove home after a stop in Virginia.  That wasn't real fun, but the people were nice.  The trip was long, but we finally made it to the farm.



Kevin - I didn't get to go on the trip.  I drove PR nuts with all my whining.  I also peed on the floor a couple of times.  I was just marking this place and Lowri as MINE.

It didn't work as I haven't been allowed near her.  On top of that, because of my marking, I have to wear a belly band.  Yuck!

Saturday and Sunday, TM and I went to a dog show while Lowri stayed home on the farm.  I had a really good time.  I was pretty sure EVERY dog I got close to was in heat.  I tried to breed them all.  TM said I was very trying.

But the good news of the weekend was that I won Best of Opposite Sex both days.  That gave me enough points to finish my Grand Championship.  TM has promise that I don't have to go to dog shows for a long time now.  We get to concentrate on sheep and ducks.  I am a happy Corgi!
