It's Friday??

Puppies are nature's remedy for feeling unloved, plus numerous other ailments of life.  ~Richard Allan Palm

 I cannot believe it is Friday already! I have no idea what happened to Monday through Thursday! It's been a busy week.

The news at our house this week is a new dog. Imagine that! We are taking care of our daughter's dog, Henri, for a while. Henri is a cute Affenpinscher who has already managed to wiggle a place in our hearts and lives and routines for himself. He is familiarizing himself with the house, the cat, and the Lhasas. So far, he is standoffish with the Lhasas, even the puppies. I don't blame him for not wanting to deal with the puppies. They are a bunch of hooligans! Boris, our cat, is curious about Henri. Boris also likes routine. His nose is terribly out of joint at the freedom we allow Henri and the turmoil he has created in Boris' routine. Last night, however, they seemed to be making friendly overtures toward each other—well, Henri was making friendly overtures. 

The younger puppies are now 9 weeks old. Josh is 15 weeks already! First, here is Josh, age 15 weeks. Josh is a total sweetheart. He is also unhappy about having his play interrupted for a photo!

 

 

Josh gets to go along for the ride to the next dog show. He needs to start experiencing road trips, hotel rooms, and the sight, sounds, and smells of a dog show. Later in May he is entered in a 4-6 month old puppy class. That should be fun.

Here are the photos of the Rafe and Maggie puppies. They are now 9 weeks old.

For those of you who live in the midwest, keep in mind the American Lhasa Apso Club's national specialty week is October 20-24. This year the national is in St. Louis. If you want to see a lot of lovely Lhasas from all over the U.S. in one place, the specialty is the place to be! If you want to meet breeders from across the U.S., the specialty is the place to be! There will be conformation judging, rally, obedience, an all-breed agility trial, a seminar on new regulations, a sweepstakes for Lhasas whose long coats have been cut down, and more! I'll post more information as the months go by and the actual schedule is set.

Life is better when you have a Lhasa to love you!
