Howdy LTNS

Just thought I would say hello

haven't been around in a bit so figured what the heck..... I have been really busy and we have added to the pack

We now have 7

Meghan of course is now 8 is that amazing
Connor is also 8

they are both retired and living lives of luxury

Cuinn will be 7 tommorrow which is amazing as I never thought that Cuinn would make 7 .... not in a million years. He is still on alot of medication and is woozy most of the time but is doing good.... We spend alot of time making sure he doesn't hurt himself as the epilepsy is the least of our worries but it is all the subsequent injuries from falling and banging himself that we worry about..... oh and the sock eating which he has taken up.

Shalva had a litter last year and we will be finishing her Can. Ch. this summer.... but we now have her son Meir who has not been shown as of yet ..... well he was shown once but he is a long skinny geek. I dont know if you remember Wabana but we used her dog Viggo so he is Meirs sire and I think once Meir grows up he will be lovely but I dont think that will happen until he is four, until then we are working on obedience and field work.....

Of that litter we have some lovely puppies doing some great work I am thrilled with what the pups are doing

Kaelyn had a litter last year as well and we added Emmett ..... we used one of my friend Marges dogs ..... she is Trowsnest Goldens and a very very good friend of mine. Emmett is outstanding and I can't wait to show him.... He was shown once at the fun match at the English tea at the national specialty and the judge called him spectacular.... I of course agree but I am biased.

Right now we are waiting to find out if Kaelyn is pregnant and will know the end of the month.... I am not sure the litter will take as she did have a few cysts so we are waiting to see.....

we have two ragdoll cats as both Jim and Maureen went to the bridge a few years ago

Bhakti the wild cockatoo is still with us.... and as ornery as ever

as for me
I am still working on glass.....

Finishing up my dissertation for my PhD.
teaching Sociology full time at the University
and thats about it

so thats where we are .....
hope you are all doing well

here are a few pics of the kids

good to see you all
