In loving memory

In the words of Gordy Leach....

I'm sorry for your loss of Smooch,
There never was a better pooch.

She lives on in her awesome pups,
That fill so many loving cups.

Her circle of life is now complete,
God won't make another one quite as sweet.

Fingers are crossed!

Picabo was bred twice last week with 'Mr. WAVE'.... a stunning Presley grandson, and a Montana great grandson!
Ultrasound to follow in another 3-4 weeks, but, puppies are expected January 5.

It's happening!

Picabo came into season yesterday!  If all goes according to the 'mother nature' schedule of dog breeding, she should have puppies during the week of January 8, and they would go to their new homes the week of March 5.  Given a few days each way, that should be the schedule!  Looking forward to lots of puppy visits in late January!!

and, here they are!

At 7 1/2 weeks, bathed and ready for their new homes.... here's the 7 babies!

July 4 parade in downtown Afton

And a wonderful July 4 it was!   Spectators thought the puppies were the best of the parade, and of course, we agree!

Puppy playtime

Thanks to our friend Mark for making this fabulous puppy play toy!

Family lineage!

Here's a 'not so perfect' photo of Snowshoe's current FIVE generations of ladies!
Smooch at 13, Sydney at 10, Lindsey at 6, Picabo at 2+ and little Dolly at 5 weeks...

Here's Mom and the babies at 3 weeks old!

They're Here!

Seven puppies, 6 boys, 1 girl, arrived on May 24, 2017.  Coincidentally, her great granddam SMOOCH, celebrated her 13th birthday on the same day, and is a Presley daughter as well.

Great News!

Picabo's ultrasound on Friday showed 'lots' of little swimmers!  We're pretty sure that we saw 'TEN' of them....  good news for lots of families waiting for this event!!  We will be doing a c section on her on Friday, May 26.  She's already getting 'chubby' and even more snuggly than usual, which are great signs....   more news later!   The theme of this litter is 'MUSIC LEGENDS' so get your thinking caps on for names.
