road trip home

"So cute and well behaved not a peep in the car all day while we drove to cour d'alene where we are now

she slept all the way in the car except for our rest stops

just ate a bowl of kibble and cottage cheese and loves the freeze dried chicken breast

not afraid of anything so it seems and barks at her reflection

we love her and you've done such a great job raising her

more later from the road"

- Lynn and Lee on their new girl Zelda, formerly known as Sara.

:*) sigh...

And Rio too!

A belated Happy Birthday to Rio. Handsome, happy boy!

He writes:
"Dear Rogue

Find some photos attached of me (Rio) at my home. My mom has been planting flowers along with other kinds of plants and I have been helping her out. It has rained here alot, was no fun on our birthday, as it was raining so I did not get to go out as much as we usually do.

These photos are from playing in the backyard with my soccer ball. Mom says dad "suckered in" to purchase me a real soccer ball.

It is so nice to see how much we all of grown and how wonderful our parents are.

RI --- OOOOOOO
Oops mom is calling ! Have to go is bed time for all good Corgis.

Rio
&
Belinda"

Belinda emailed too that they are entered in a few upcoming shows. Best of luck to team Rio and Belinda!!

First Bred-By Points

Rogue (Toreth C-Myste Rollin' On The River) went Winner's Bitch and Best Opposite Sex today out of the bred-by class for 2 points. We earned it I think. She's teaching me to be a better handler and she is continuing to mature nicely. I am very proud of her and it's nice to have her virtues recognized.

Thanks to everyone ringside who support me even when we beat their teams. Cardigan people in the Pacific NW are the bestest.

I didn't have time to wait and have a photo taken at the show but my buddy Mark Thorson took the above for me before I headed home in time to get to work. Thanks Mark! I love it.

The rest of the story...

Mojo is now Huck as in Huckleberry and wondering how long it will take for him to grow up to be as tall as his girlfriend, Sophia.

Gerta, or GG, became Karis and is living with her persons Alta and Jason and future husband Liam.

Bea is still waiting for her new name but is out in South Dakota to supervise quarterhorses and a 3-year-old girl.

Look for both Karis and Bea in the show ring!

Sara is waiting for her new mommy to have surgery and recover a bit and then go and live with her in Wyoming. Sara favors her daddy's looks and those enormous ears popped up on their own. No taping!!!



I am keeping the boy on the right who is Kismet (Toreth's Synchronicity) and blue girl Karma (Toreth's What Goes 'Round Comes 'Round - thanks to Kim Kiefer for her registered name idea and it just fits... no extra $10 for it!). They're mine, all mine!! And their momma too!

Happy Birthday to the X-Men Litter!!

Charlie remained Charlie. (He's the one in the middle.)

Bonnie-Storm

Clank once known as Remy.


Jasper/Logan

A couple of other kids are out there. Jean and Rio aka Magnus.

And here's the unsinkable Rogue.


Reports that came in are that everyone is happy and healthy and a bit silly. I think they're all a handsome bunch of superheroes but I'm a little partial maybe.

Kristine Gunter Photography

A friend of mine takes fabulous photographs of dogs. Saturday she came out and the sun was shining...

Check out her blog for pictures of the kids of Toreth.

Need some good Mojo in your life?

UPDATE: Things look really positive that Mojo has found a wonderful home. The details are getting worked out but it looks like he's going to have a person named Deb and his own GSD named Sofie in Michigan. And they love doing agility!! yay!!

We hope to hear about all his adventures! Here's his new sister.







This kid's home fell through so we're hoping someone is out there looking for a boy, kid-tested, mother-approved. He is going to have HUGE ears and I'll be getting them taped so they stand up this next week or two. He has already started on his Puppy Kindergarten and responded quickly to the clicker training. A sweet, gentle temperament that goes with that expression you see above. I can see this boy doing exceptionally well as a Therapy Dog. Or being simply a companion in your life.
