This Time Last Year (puppy video)

It's looking like Spring has sprung here...the blossoms are all on the plum trees, the bulbs are starting to bloom, the birds are singing, and the grass is in need of a good mowing! Finally we can go outside without our rain boots.

While we're obsessively checking the girls every day for early signs that they're in season...no, no....we mustn't admit that....patiently waiting for our girls to come in, I thought I'd share this little video of Tasha's first puppies at this same time last year!

Buddy, Seren and Shiraz - March 2010

Why is it that time seems to go by so quickly for some things - like how fast these little guys grew up, and other things just seem to take forever? I guess it's really true that patience is a virtue, and when it's in the hands of Mother Nature, all we can do is wait!

So yes, we are planning two litters later this Spring from our girls Tasha and Aimee, and as soon as we have news to share, we'll be sure to post it here! :)

Beach Buddy

There's nothing like a day at the beach...running on the sand, watching the waves rolling in - and that's exactly what Buddy did on his trip to Long Beach at Tofino with his family... 

Thanks for the pic Annie!

Located on the farthest west coast of Vancouver Island, Long Beach is known for it's wonderful surfing in the summer and fall, and huge waves in the winter, as it's totally exposed to the Pacific Ocean.

Peter dropped in with Buddy for a quick visit on another trip to the Island. Buddy's grown into such a handsome boy...and still such a little darling with the same bright personality that made us love him so much as a young puppy. He's about 14 inches now, and is starting to get his adult coat. 

We loved seeing him again, and it was so great when he climbed in our laps and gave us kisses! Can't wait til they visit again :)
 

Update on Buddy (puppy we called Wolfie)

Wolfie's name is now "Buddy" and he's living up on the Sunshine Coast with his wonderful new family Peter and Annie. It's hard to believe that it's been over a month now since they picked him up...
 

Thanks for the pic Annie!

His new mommy has been taking him to training classes and he's charming everyone he meets. He's such a bright, confident and lovable little puppy - we're looking forward to seeing him again when they visit!

Little bro

Not to be left out - here's "Wolfie" ....Seren and Shiraz's brother. He's growing up to be a great looking little fella, and the smallest of the three. At 9 weeks old, we can still lift him up with one hand!

He's such a cuddle bug too, and likes to snuggle in right under your chin. Until he gets a new family, he's continuing his show training, walking nicely on the leash, standing on the table, and vying for attention with his brother Seren.
