Lexi loves the Canadian Winter!

The Canadian winter is treating Lexi like the princess she is... Lexi absolutely loves the snow. Corrine says they have to keep a sweater on her to better help locate her in the yard and it's pretty cold outside as well. She comes in full of snow and making a mess on the kitchen floor but some things we just have to put up with...

Madison is a earrrrrly morning Mother!

Well... after a very long and earrrrrly morning Madison and Jack have produced a beautiful little Westie girl who at 6.0oz already has darkening of the pads and a veracious appetite! Being the unfortunate only surviving puppy has a few perks like "all you can eat!" Madison free whelped this little girl in about 3hrs. without issue, at least that was my take on on the delivery, Madison might have a different angle on the story... Now we get to watch her grow up!

Jade meets her new owner Pam Dawson!

Pam Dawson is a wonderful dog loving woman who has happened into a gold mind... Jade was everything I wanted in a show dog, the only issue I had was that her tail would not come up all the way and as you may or may not understand that is a deal breaker in AKC conformation... Jade is a very loving and loyal girl who will provide many wonderful years of entertainment for Pam and her husband.

Jade's new neighbor will be her good old brother Bart, so it will be just a short dash across the neighborhood to be with her best friend again... Look for pictures of the "family reunion in the near future.

Henri's Hideout!

Chris,

As you can see, Henri is very comfortable and happy at his new home. He has mastered climbing on top of his crate where he likes the new view. He is a busy boy, he unloads the toybox several times a day, often falling alseep in it. These photos are great. Bella is playing more with him each day and he is learning to respect her boundaries. Things are going very well.The photos of Lexi and her new family are priceless.

Best Wishes

Ella, Bella, and Baby Henri

The Peacock family finally welcomes Lexi.

The Peacock family is now complete. I took Lexi up to Kelowna Canada over the weekend. I had never been there before but even in the winter realized the beauty of the city.... Brent and his wife Corrine were fantastic hosts picking me up from the airport, introducing me to there children and home then providing a weekend of wonderful comfort and entertainment! Talk about great hosts... I was able to stay in beautiful condo they own downtown over the top of there Wine bar that hosted over 280 different types of wine from all over the world and oh.. did I forget to mention a fantastic selection of gourmet food as well. If your looking for a fantastic location for vacation, Kelowna Canada is it. Summer activities galore on a huge lake and fantastic winter skiing as well according to a few people I met on the plane ride home.... back to the Peacock family and Lexi. Lexi took to her new family very easily learning much of what she needed to know in no time, settling right in. SPOILED would be the easiest word to describe this placement.

I want to thank the entire Peacock family for there hospitality and look forward to returning to Kelowna BC for vacation in the summer!

Lexi arrives home....

We arrived Friday evening at the Kelowna BC airport, both pretty tired but greeted by a very happy Corrine Peacock. The following is a direct quote from Corrine Peacock the first night with there new Westie puppy Lexi...

Hi Chris, Sorry, I just could not help myself, I had to send you a few of the photos I took tonight! We are over the moon with Lexi and she seems quite comfortable with us. She read stories with us tonight and fell asleep in my lap, too cute for words! She goes in and out of her kennel and seems to be okay with it. She did have a little accident of the #2 kind on the girls toy mat, no harm done and I did not want to disturb her after the big day and all. She is currently lounging on the couch with Brent watching the "Twilight Zone" and seems quite interested! I hope you had a good dinner and enjoy a night of peace at the loft. We will chat with you tomorrow. Please feel free to call should you have any questions or inquiries! It was great to finally meet you and we greatly appreciate that you would travel here and for all the time and effort that you have given to Lexi. It is very evident that she is well socialized. We are just so excited and happy. I was responding to some e-mails with her on my lap and cannot believe that she is on this side of the computer! Have a nice evening and we will chat tomorrow. Thanks again for everything! Corrine

Brent, Corrine and there two daughters are wonderful people! It's meeting such people in all corners of the world that make placing puppies much easier. You can only imagine what it's like for me to have to part with a puppy that I helped deliver and have grown so attached to.. Thank you Corrine and family for providing a "dream home" for Lexi! New friends for life...

Henri and Bella growing up together...

Here is our update on Henri and Bella the therapy dog. Looks to me like everything is going pretty well. Bella still has not quite figured out Henri needs to go outside alone to learn to potty instead of play but she is working on it. It's easy to see they will be best of friends for a life time to come...
