Peanut passes away...

As most of you who follow my blog know, Peanut was the love of my life... Loved by all desired by many for her loving kind nature. Peanut was the most loyal and loving dog in my life. She of course was spoiled rotten all the time, I would have to admit I favored her over everyone because all I needed to do was look into her eyes and I know exactly what she wanted... FOOD! I carried her to bed nightly and carried her outside in the morning to do her duty. I could never have asked for a better Norwich Terrier...

May she rest in peace... I love you Peanut!

First puppy pix

Can't deny Mom a meal after her ordeal...Rachel had to go to the vet clinic for a C-section as her first puppy was not going to be born into this world naturally. Dr. Benson at Desert Vet Clinic has been our vet of choice for years and did a wonderful job once again bringing Rachel's 3 boys into this world. They weigh 6 oz 6 oz and 6.8oz repectively which is pretty good size for Norwich, taking after there daddy obviuosly. They are all grizzle in color as well. Keep checking back to watch Rachels litter grow...

Rachel is having puppies today!

As you see Rachel is awaiting her litter of three puppies. She started less than an hour ago and we will remain patient and see how everything goes...

Pepper enjoys retirement between Canada and the United States..

Hi Chris

Tess donated her hair to the Cancer society!

Following in her "Big Sister's" footsteps, Tess (Lexi's owner from Kelowna Canada)cut her hair for cancer
today!!! She was VERY excited and has been asking almost everyday if her
hair was long enough yet!! Tess was thrilled to have almost 10 inches cut
off and is looking forward to visiting the Cancer Society on Monday to hand
her hair over.

We know that you are a special part of her life and thought you would like
to see the final results!!

White Diamonds Sweet Sara well on her way...

Sara and I had a great weekend at the Lewiston Idaho dog show last weekend. It has been a very rare occasion where there are majors for Westies at AKC conformation shows this year and we were able to win BIG!! ... 6 females Westies were entered which is just enough to make majors 3 of the 4 days at the show. To receive an AKC conformation champion title you have to win two 3 point majors and 9 single points. At 7 months old (which is unheard of) Sara was able to secure her two majors during this weekend.... wow. Sara received so many compliments from onlookers while she waited her turn in the ring. As I am her breeder obviously I am very proud of her accomplishments so far. She is over half way to her title at 7 months old. You can only begin showing at 6 months of age.

I have been on the road showing Sara and my 9 month old Norwich Terrier Zoe for five weeks strat. In this time we have won 5 majors and 6 single points between the two girls, that's huge!

Check back to see how the girls are doing..

Cassie comes to visit me at a show in Albany Oregon.

Dear Uncle Chris – I just can’t tell you too much that it was GREAT to see you again! It’s been almost exactly one year since you let Mom & Dad adopt me and it’s been a good year. I’m definitely spoiled to pieces (especially by Daddy and treats). Yes, I promise to loose a little of that extra weight. Little neck rolls aren’t good! Mom is taking your lessons to heart; so I know I’ll be spending more time on the grooming table.



I had so much fun visiting with you at the Chintimini Dog Show in Albany. Seeing Zoe WIN and meeting Sara was incredible! I think I even paid attention when I watched some of the Obedience and Agility trials. We’ll see if I decide to practice what I saw. ;-)



Here’s a little photo from Saturday. It’s easy to tell who just returned from a vacation basking in the sun and who has been rusting in the northwest. Oh well… Our time will come again in June!



Hugs, Cassie
