A Family Affair

Bonnie Money and I went to the Kalamazoo, MI shows this past weekend. It was an outdoor show and it rained on us every day. I think that was the wettest, muddiest show that I have ever entered, but it turned out to be a really good show for us!! We took Rush, Minute and three of their puppies. Wilson debuted the previous weekend and the girls, Laney and Alley, made their debut this weekend. (no photos yet...but will post when I get them.) I am pleased to say that all three kids picked up majors and Alley picked up TWO!

The 8 Week Old Puppy Party

I had the pleasure of going to Bonnie's house this weekend for a puppy party. Thank you, Bonnie, Kathy and Sheree. What a great time we had!

The Rush x Minute pups are now 8 weeks old. It was the first time that I have seen them besides in pictures. We did the Pat Hastings puppy puzzle on them. We have made our picks, but I am not saying what they are just yet. The puppies were very wiggly, so I am not sure that the photos do all of the pups justice. But, I would love to hear your comments.

"Sweet Cheeks"

I have been playing with my Iphone app thing again. Bonnie has affectionately nicknamed this puppy "Sweet Cheeks". She has the cutest little face. :)

A Puppy Star

Here are the mini Minutes (or should I call them Seconds?) having their first meal.

Rush x Minute Puppies

They are getting bigger and their eyes are now open.

Rush x Minute puppies

Here is a first look at the Rush x Minute puppies. Bonnie told me that Minute is feeding them heavy cream and the pups are all gaining weight like crazy. I am really looking forward to watching these little guys grow up. :)

Puppy Info

Here is the information on the recent litter. Someone mentioned I should have posted earlier. Rush was bred to Bonnie Money's Ch Bridgelady's New York Minute, winner of the Best Blue Bitch at the 2009 Megan. After a long night for both Minute and Bonnie, Minute just finished delivering seven healthy puppies. Hopefully, I will have more pictures to post soon. :)

I put together the pedigree for the litter. Look at all the nice hips.
For more information on this litter, please contact Bonnie.

So Far....

Minute is hard at work. So far she gave us a blue boy and a black boy and girl. The blue boy is a real clear blue, just like Grandma Dixie. :)

Maybe today...

She is getting restless and her temperature is dropping. Today maybe the day.

Rushlets!!!

There are nine little Rushlets are due on Tuesday. My fingers are crossed for a safe delivery. :)
