The puppies are playing right now. Crianza is using her ability to jump on things that Celosa can't reach to her advantage. She's standing on the bed and lording over her little sister. But Celosa is learning. She can jump on both couches now, and she's nearly able to jump on the comfy chair. I give her a few weeks for the bed, but not for lack ( Read more... )

I took off early today so I could take Celsoa to the vet. She's doing well, and everyone there loved her. She's 6.3 pounds now, and she got some vaccinations and some medications. There was a little bit of a hiccup in that we forgot to grab all of her information from the breeder when we went to the vet, but Graham went back to the house to get ( Read more... )

So long as the poodle didn't win, I would have come away happy. I thought the puli was just adorable, and obviously I was rooting for him, but the Sussex had a great story, a great name, and was just a great dog. I approve of Stump's win. Every time I looked at him, I smiled ( Read more... )

Westminster has the judging from yesterday online now. The puli is judged at the 3:19 mark of Part 18. He shows his personality at 2:34.

And you can watch him win at part 19.

The look on his face at the 00:55 mark is identical to Relampago's when he was happy.

Go Conrad! Kick some poodle ass!

Yay Conrad the puli!!

I've never seen a puli win best in group at Westminster before.

He was certainly a crowd favorite, and he showed his personality very well. In fact, he was really showing off. And he reminded me a LOT of Relampago ( Read more... )

I think that it's possible that we'll pick up our girl on Valentine's day. She'll be exactly seven weeks old then...

This is what she looked like yesterday, when she was 8 days old:

So I got home last night, and I checked my e-mail this morning.

At 4:46 a.m. Crianza's breeder sent me an e-mail entitled: puli puppies
we had a suprise litter here, as i didn't think the "deed" had happened...
if interested check webpage for updates.
I wrote back and said I wanted a girl. She wrote back making sure that I didn't think there'd be ( Read more... )

The only thing I'm not sure I approve of is the implication that the puli is the substandard choice. Over a Maltese? Please.

ETA: I went over to my puli listserv to tell the folks over there about the commercial and I saw this posting from yesterday.

Tonight on "Dancing With The Stars," Black & Decker introduced a new commercial for their ( Read more... )

There is someone from an IP address in Spring, Texas reading my entire journal from the beginning. That's always slightly discombobulating. They're back in September of 2002 right now and have been reading since 8:56 this morning. I can't imagine how I'd be all that interesting, though I think he or she may be looking for something particular, ( Read more... )
