Busy Day

Frost and Bailey would have liked to write their own blogs but they are too tired so I’ll blog about our busy day.

We started off the day by attending our STAR puppy class.  Frost did a really good job, Charlie and Cody started class today too.

After the class we played in the park for a little while, Mom (aka Ginger) came along to hang out with Bailey and check out the class.  She is getting her new Brussel’s puppy in a week or so and she will be taking her puppy along to class for socialization.

As we were heading home we saw a sign for a local Farmer’s Market, it was about 11am when we got their so most of the produce was gone but there were lots of stalls with local crafts.  We took the dogs and they were the hit of the Market, they met lots of different people and some other dogs and several people even guessed they were Cardigans.   The dog cookie lady gave them treats which they thought was pretty cool.

The day was starting to warm up so we headed back across town.   The pups were pretty tired.

After a van nap the gang hung out at Grandma’s to have some playtime.

Mom and I went to the movies and shared a popcorn, the popcorn comes with a refill so we filled it up and brought it home to Yappy Hour.  The gang love catching corn and playing in the yard, good times were had by all.

A tired puppy is a good puppy!

Cardi weekend update

We Cardis had a great weekend!  On Satuday Frost and Bailey went to school and then we all hung out at yappy hour at Grandma’s house.  Then on Sunday, we all helped Momma clean the yard and set up for the party she and Grandma were having.  We helped hose off the porch and pick up the trash and sweep, even Wicca got to come and help. 

Today was the party day and Momma wouldn’t  let us come over until the guest came, then we girls got to go over, Momma said they boys couldn’t come because the peed on stuff.  Charlie came over and we all played.  Frost filched crackers off the craker plate, the nice people gave us treats, Momma gave us some meat off the grill.  We played and got petted.  Frost’s friend Hatti came to visit and the grumpy Maggie.  Maggie had to go in the Xpen cause she was grouchy to everyone.    Frost also tried to steal wine.

After some of the people left the boys got to come over and hang out for awhile, Henry was scared of Miss Hatti, he is a goof.

It was a fun time, Bailey is pooped she was so tired she could hardly eat her supper and one of her ears is drooping, Momma said if it isn’t up in the morning after a good night’s sleep she will have to wear tape again.

We like parties and 3 days weekends, lets have some more!

Lindy, PJ, Henry, Frost and Bailey

Jinnie here, I like 3 day weekends but we can’t have parties all the time cause thet poop me out just like Bailey.

Happy Birthday Wicca!

nssbswI can’t believe she is now a veteran! 

Solstice Keltic Beltane Fire is now 7 along with her sister Ch Solstice Thirteen Moons (Luna).  Wicca is my 1st Bred By, she won the GSPCA national Sweeps in 2003 and retired from the show ring with 10 pts following a shoulder injury.  It broke my heart not to have finished her championship. 

Wicca spends her days exercising the Cardigans and her nights sleeping on my bed.

Happy Birthday!

A Frost Report

Hey it’s Frost!

I’m a STAR Puppy!  I went to a class my STAR puppy class today http://www.akc.org/starpuppy/about_the_program.cfm.  I was a very good girl, I met River the Great Dane and Pearl the Shepherd.  The baby Bailey went too but she had to stay in the car.  I barked at the dogs but them I quit, and I walked nice and sat like I was supposed too.  Next week Bailey and Charlie are going to be going too but I’ll be the STAR.

After the class we went to meet some one called Grandma Janne, she was pretty cool, she said I was pretty, I also met another Frost but she is a big white Akita who is 13 years old.  She was ok too.  We hung out for awhile the the Momma and Janne talked and talked.  There were lots of big yellow noisy trucks working on the street.  They were really loud but Bailey and I didn’t really care about them.  

After we left Janne’s we went to the vet, but ha ha ha I didn’t have to go in just Bailey and she got poked!  Then we came home and Momma worked in Grandma’s yard getting it ready, she says we are having a party on Monday.  We all helped her clean the porch and we played in the water hose.  Life is good.

I’m sure we will have more fun tomorrow.

Stay cool!

Frost out!

A Frost Report

I do not hog the blog!  Bailey doesn’t know nuthin, she is just a baby.

We are back from the dog show, Momma says we are staying home for the summer.  I don’t know why we have to stay home but I guess there is a reason for it.

I had fun a the dog show and I wasn’t “bad”.  On Friday the judge said I was “an interesting puppy” Momma asked him why he said that and he said that I showed flashes of brilliance and the I fell apart.  I didn’t fall apart, all my parts where where they were supposed to be.  On Saturday I stopped and barked at the big Rotties in the ring behind us, the judge laughed at me and told me to “get those big bad dogs”  Momma told him not to egg me on.  I saw lots of things to bark at so I did.  Momma spent a lot of time telling me to hush and squirted me with the water bottle.

I did have fun playing with the babies and with Omar and Lara and I was such a good girl Momma let me ride in the RV without being in my crate.  Only Bailey had to ride in a crate cause she is such a baby.

I the way home from Uncle Harry’s we stopped at a big water place, it was called Elephant Butte, I didn’t see any Elephant’s Butt, I’m not sure what an Elephant is but I’m a dog so you know I know what a Butt is and I didn’t see any strange ones.  Momma says it is just the name of the water place.  I got in the water it was neat, but nobody else really wanted to get wet.  Momma thought Auntie Lindy and Uncle Henry would get in for sure since they are always in the baby pool.  But I was the only one brave enough to get in the water.  We didn’t stay very long because there was a rude dog there that was on a lead that kept barking at us.  Maybe we can go back some time.

Now we are just at home being dogs for awhile, I’m sure I’ll have some news anyway, it is exciting being a dog.

Stay cool!

Frost out!

Henry’s retirement

Henrynaps

Henry is retired from the show ring.  Henry has a lovely pedigree and had a lot of potential as a young dog.  He comes from a very slow maturing line of dogs but now at 4 he just hasn’t lived up to his early promise.  Henry retires with 9 points including a major.

henry yappy hour

Henry has been Cerf’ed twice and he is OFA Good.  Henry will be neutered in the near future.

Henry will be looking for a new home.  He deserves a top dog instead of the 3rd string retired showdog at Solstice.

Henry Hobbs

He will be available to the right home, he is very athletic and has a very sweet nature, he is a sweetheart, we call him Henwy since it fits his personality.  So if any hears of a wonderful home for Henry let us know at solsticecwc@gmail.com.  There is also additional information about Henry on my webstie www.solsticekennels.com.

Bailey’s Business

MMS_Resized_Pix

 

Hi I’m Bailey!

Let me say right from the start I like dog shows better than home!  Momma says I’m just a drama queen.  We went to a dog shows, the first time we rode in the car me, Charlie and Bonnie and we stayed at Daddy Harry’s house and got to play and run together.  Then we came home and Bonnie didn’t come.  Then Charlie went to Auntie Cody’s house and the next day we went to a dog show again and Bonnie was there!  We got to play and sleep together.  Then we came home and I was all by myself!  I don’t like to sleep by myself so I hollared and howled and cried and finally Momma came  at 3:00am and put me in the crate with my big sister Frost and I went to sleep.   I know Momma is going to put me back in the puppy pen later this morning and you know what I’m going to hollar again!

I met Wicca the tall and she was nice but this morning I jumped in her face and she growled at me and pushed me over.  I hollared and cried alot but Momma said I was a drama queen again because Wicca didn’t even get me “wet” whatever that means, I just didn’t like it.  I’m not a drama queen, I’m just a baby!

Dog shows are way better cause I get to see my sister and everybody makes a big deal about being cute, I am cute.

Hopefully I’ll get to write again, Frost always hogs the blog.

Bailey
