Happy Birthday to me – A Frost Report

Hey it’s me Frost!

And today is my birthday!  I’m a year old today!    I want to wish my brothers and sisters happy birthday too!

Momma says we are going to have a birthday party but not until tomorrow, Charlie and Bonnie will come over with Auntie Cody and we will have a play.  As long as we get cake I don’t care what day it is.

We haven’t been doing much around here, Daddy dog PJ is still on holiday at Arylan and we miss him, but now we play more with the old man, grouchy uncle Stoney.  He likes me (and who doesn’t) so he will play with me.  Some days Bailey and I go to work and baby sit the Flea, she doesn’t like to by herself so when Grandma goes away we go next door and stay with her.

I’ll let you know how my party goes!

Happy Birthday to me!

Stay cool,

Frost out

Planning Planning

Some of my friends all me an Uberplanner but I’m not that bad.  I just like looking forward.  So here are my plans for the late fall, early winter:

Lindy:  Pending unconfirmed  litter  by Arylan Tribute to Liberty due around 11/28

PJ:  PJ will be home from Arylan in the next couple of weeks.  Litters pending with June Carter,  Aelwyd Arylan I Walk The Line, which will be due around Christmas and Addy, CH Rhys Sweet Adeline, due around the New Year.

The puppies:  Frost, Bailey, Charlie and Bonnie will start practicing Rally.  We aren’t sure what our plan is for practice yet but Cody and I are going to set up practice times for the Rally.

We won’t be going to another show until Feb. 2010 when we will plan on the Hobbs KC.  Of course none of the new babies will be old enough for that show but Harry and I might have our own major later in the season :-) .  Of course there are several potentially lovely litters in the works in the SW so we are liable to have some fabulous competition by the Fall of 2010. 

Plus Sienna aka The Flea should better hair so she will be competitive too.

Fun times are a coming!

1st arrivals

 

**Update 5 boys, 4 girls***

Chickie’s babies at Arylan are finally showing up after Chickie kept her whelper helper Harry awake.  So there are 2 b/w boys.  Harry is keeping the updates rolling on his Facebook page.

Just to add even more potential puppies to the mix, a 1st breeding of PJ x June Carter happened yesterday.

Puppies coming

Pending arrival at Arylan, poor Chickie is huge but I’m sure she and her whelper helper Harry are up to the job.  Latest news is that pre labor has started so hopefully we will have good news later today.  I’m sure there will be updates at www.arylan.com, I guessed a litter of  10.

I’m still looking for signs from Lindy Hop, she is still being coy and not letting me know if she is or isn’t.  I call Lindy the Heidi Klum of dogs she looks great until she gives birth and then looks great almost as soon as the babies are born.  I hope she gives some hints soon.

If those puppies aren’t enough, Keelmtn is expecting a Pembroke litter around Christmas time.  Leslie will keep www.keelmtn.com updated with that news.

The last one

We had the last watermelon Sunday today.  The dogs and I spent the weekend hanging out at home which was very very nice.  Cody came over with the kids and we celebrated the last watermelon before the sun went down.

Is she eating for 2 or 6 or..............

I measured Lindy’s waist today and she is an inch bigger than when I picked her up from Arylan does that mean she is expecting or is she eating more?  We shall see, it won’t be long before we will know something one way or another.

Charlie and Cody in their 1st win photo with Judge Gloria Kerr.  I think Cody is looking at the toy that photographer threw, say it together “Squirrel!”.

They look good and I’m proud of them!

Puppies, Puppies, Puppies!

Between Solstice and Arylan there are lots of puppies planned for the last part of 2009 and the 1st part of 2010.  Seems like it always happens that way, none for a long time and then a bunch all at once.

Arylan is expecting a litter next week (Chickie x Kiefer aka Oscar), you can follow that litter’s progress at www.arylan.com or on the Facebook Arylan puppy page.

Lindy has also been bred to Kiefer aka Oscar and we are eagerly awaiting signs of puppies coming.  I’m looking for a special girl from this litter since this is a pedigree match up I’m very excited about for the future at Solstice.  If this breeding took  it will the Liberty litter since Kiefer’s registered name is Arylan Tribute to Liberty and I was coordinating the breeding while I was in Boston, MA soaking up American History.

PJ is currently at Arylan hanging out waiting for his date with June Carter sometime later in the month.

So stay tuned to blog world to see how things play out.

Weekend Wrap up

It was a really nice weekend for the Solstice gang. 

Friday – Bailey WB/BOW/BOB and a pull in the group, Charlie WD/BOS

Saturday – Frost WB/BOW/BOB, Charlie WD/BOS

Sunday – Bailey WB/BOW/BOS, Charlie WD/BOS

Monday – Frost WB/BOS, Charlie WD/BOW/BOB

So everyone got points and everyone got some good practice in the group.   The Flea did very well and we learned a lot about grooming and presentation of the Brussels Griffon.

We are off to the Toy Group shows on Thursday for some more Griff lessons and then the All Breed shows on Saturday and Sunday at the Valencia Valley KC shows in Los Lunas, NM
