Lake Effect

We got our first substantial lake effect snow last night, and the dogs are loving it. Snow zoomies, tunneling, and general rolling around like maniacs. The first to enjoy it were Reggie (right) and our guest dog, the lovely and sweet Olive. She is here for a few weeks for a hot date with Tigger. Fingers crossed they make some pretty puppies!

Pretty in pink

Frosty, not to be outdone by the splendiferous Tigger, lets her girly side show in this pink MSU jersey. Next on her shopping list, a pretty flower for her head.

It was a dark and stormy night ...

But before that we had a really nice Indian Summer weekend.  Tigger wowed Frosty with his new sweater, and Bolt and Phoebe took time out from chasing each other to enjoy their rawhides. Reggie and Kylie were watching football inside.

Frosty's Tia Mara rightly pointed out that she needs a sweater, too!

Phoebe noms, while Bolt is alert for rawhide thiefs

Another point!

Miss Phoebe earned another point toward her AKC championship in early August at the Jaxon Kennel Club show in Marshall, MI, under Judge Sharon Ann Redmer. She has become quite the pretty girl! But a bit of a maniac, like her brother, Tigger.



My name is Earl!

Henley's big news from Florida ... he is now Earl! It's a great name, and June and Scarlett seem to approve.

The most beautiful word in the English language (Dog edition)

The really good news from Henley's new home is that he is ... tuckered! Mom Ellen reports he is integrating nicely into the extended pack, and really gets along with his aunt, the Beautimous Scarlett. And he really is bonding with his dad, Steve. My gratitude to Steve and Ellen is unbounded!

Handsome AND tired!

And on the Cute Puppy Front, Tigger's granddaughter Eres is one stylin' chick! Kaylee sent some photos of the pretty Grand-Tiggy:

Keeping dry in style!

Festive Eres

The Good Life

Henley arrived safely in Florida and had a successful introduction to his new parents, Steve and Ellen, his Aunt Scarlett, and his new brother and sister, Hank and June. Ellen reports he is settling in nicely and blossoming, which makes me incredibly happy.

Ellen and Steve are warm and wonderful people, and dog savvy to boot. I am so grateful to them for letting Henley come into their lives. I hope he provides them much joy in the years to come.

Here he is with his new dad:
