Minty babies

April 26th, 2008

This litter was bred, and born at Morgans home. It’s a co-bred litter, out of my beloved doe Minty, and Morgans handsome, downunder boy Horton. This litter, like Mintys last litter is EXCEPTIONAL. I’m so proud of how wonderful the whole litter turned out. Very typey, and seeming to have taken [...]

I took a long break, as my close friend Morgan took over breeding some of my girlies who needed to be bred. I was getting caught back up on my personal life (The last large rescue case wiped me out!), and now have my first litter born here, since Fiona’s litter born in October. [...]

Pretty puppy Gaia

I got pics of Gaia’s ‘big brother’, Red Bull last week, and got to snap a few pics of puppy Gaia at a park over the weekend. She’s so beautiful!

A really bad pic, of the puppies playing

Some plant stuff

April 14th, 2008

Every time I see these plants, I think of my Gramma. They don’t grow in Michigan, and every time she visited WA and OR she was so enthralled with them. We lost Gramma in ‘05. I spotted this clump along the beach this weekend.

Our blueberry bushes are working on flowers… YUMMY!

I got to spend some time on the beach with my little sister this weekend, here are a few pics!

Some works in progress… the legs on the first piece (A terrier mix) ornament are still being worked on. Middle is me playing around with a Chinese Crested design, and right is a custom order, will be a chocolate Doxie with tan points in the near future!

Her work is so adorable. I’ve been keeping an eye on her whimsical designs, [...]
