Lexi the and the Easter Bunny!

Hi Chris,

Finally getting an Easter pictures of the girls and Lexi off to you! We got up early to search for treasures from the Easter Bunny, and unfortunately my picture taking ability at 7:30am is not the best!! This was a great shot of Lexi at least, with her girls in their PJ's and bed heads!!! The second pic is of Lexi and Tess the other day in the back yard, they were chasing bubbles and having an absolute blast!! I wish I could have taken some action shots, but I would have needed another set of hands. I will try again when I have a bubble blower!! Lexi is doing great and enjoying HER Rockets charge to the Memorial Cup. The Rockets won in Vancouver last night and lead the series 3 games to 2. The next game is Monday night in Kelowna. I can keep you posted should you feel the need to keep up with our Canadian sport!!! Lexi had her trip to the Vet to be fixed on Tuesday and is not real happy with us!!! She did very well and made a great impression on the Vet staff, they loved her!!! She is enjoying the extra cuddles and well deserved lounges. Tess has been extra gentle with her and loves to lay on the floor and feed her by hand. Hope you weekend is going well, love the updates on the blog!!! Thanks again for our furry family member, we are smitten!!

Sincerely, Corrine and the Peacock Clan!

Gavin makes it home to Alaska.

From Gavin's owners...




The trip home was uneventful. Gavin is a great traveler, extremely alert and inquisitive and not afraid of any thing. He's more fun than we even imagined and keeping us on our toes every waking moment. My favorite is when he brought me the door stop he had removed from the baseboard. How's that for his first retrieve? He also picks up his dinner bowl and brings it to us for a refill.

I went to take some pictures of Gavin touring Craig for the 1st time but our camera had a malfunction. The only pictures of him were last night. We'll get a new camera and get some to you later. Thanks for watching him for the last two weeks, we appreciate all that you have done.

Cassie goes to the beach... in her own words!

Dear Uncle Chris,

I just had to write you again because I’m getting to be such a BIG girl now! There has been a lot going on here especially with the UO Hawaii Club Luau last weekend. I got to help with the decorating at Mac Court and enjoyed a lot of time with family visiting from Hawaii and California. I even went to an outdoor ‘lounge’ in Eugene and ‘ate’ at a restaurant overlooking the Siuslaw River in Florence. My good manners are really paying off BIG TIME!

I’m still enjoying my clicker training and have added ‘heel’, ‘fetch’ and ‘step up’ (the motorhome steps) to my bag of tricks. It’s still a little scary to ‘step down’ the RV steps – maybe when I’m a little bigger than my now 5 ½ pounds. Mom & Dad still keep me going over all of the old skills just to keep me in practice. My ‘sit’ has improved to a big girl sit instead of my old ‘lazy puppy’ sit. I’d do just about anything to keep those kibble treats coming my way!

Today was another FIRST in my adventures – the BEACH. There was a bit of fog, but the sea birds were out in force and it was great fun to see them fly out of my way. There were also a lot of fun sand dunes to climb and I just LOVE to climb to the tops of any hill. The view is soooo much better from up high. The smells, too! I hope you enjoy these pictures even though I keep acting a pointer when I’m doing something new.

I’ll write again soon. In the meantime, I’m sending hugs your way. Cassie

Madison returns home....

It was not such a bad thing Madison coming home... After two weeks of Moppet the Bishon mix ignoring her Stan and his wife decided to return Madison home to me. In Stan's own words...

Chris: Maddy is a wonderful dog, just as you said. She is loving and smart and has tried hard to fit into our home. However we must return her to you. Moppet refuses to have anything to do with Maddy; she won't even touch a toy with which Maddy has played and in many ways, rather than being happier, as we had hoped, Moppet shows that she is perfectly miserable and goes out of her way to avoid Maddy.

As Madison is 8 years old she also needed to be spayed, have her teeth cleaned and a minor ear infection which has been taken care of. Stan and his wife (on a limited income) decided it was beyond there means and as much as Maddy tried to play with Moppet she would have nothing to do with her.. Madison is a wonderful dog in need of a great retirement home. I have a few retired Champion Westies and Norwich who are in need of wonderful retirement homes, do you know anyone your willing to recommend? If so please feel free to ask them to contact me and maybe we can make a match!

Gavin heads to Alaska!

After a two week tour of the NW Bill and Norma stopped off to pick up there new puppy Gavin, returning to Seattle for a few days before they head for home. Gavin was very excited (like he always is) for a new adventure. We look forward to updates, progress reports and pictures.

Take care little buddy! We miss you..

Pipers ears go up!

For Pipers owner Chace and family...

Hey Chris!

I wanted to let you know that Piper's check out went well, she is very healthy :)She has discovered that she loves going on walks, although she was very stubborn at first. Then she realized that it was in her best interest due to the unlimited number of new smells she could discover!
