Update!

I know, it has been a while. We have a lot of updates!

UPDATE 1:

A HUMAN ultrasound. I am pregnant!



The first update is that I am pregnant! Yes, the above photo is a human and not a pup! That is one of the reasons that things have not been updated in a while (I apologize!). Between the puppy party, all of the puppies leaving for their forever homes, the First Trismester of my pregnancy, and work, things have not been getting accomplished! I know, stop making excuses and just do it, right? A special thanks to Jeff for all of his hard work and dealing with all of the emotions I was going through when the puppies were 7-9 weeks old.

For the last two weeks I have felt great and have been playing catch-up with cleaning, laundry, e-mails, photos, and getting my life back in order! If you are expecting a response to something, I promise I will get to you!

UPDATE 2:

Mr. Red stacked at puppy evaluations.



Mr. Gray stacked at puppy evaluations.



The second update is that puppy evaluations went very well! We had a wonderful litter!! The puppies had a lot of fun during their evaluations and were exhausted on the way home. A special thanks to Teresa Evans for letting us use her facilities. Also thanks to Connie Morris, Allyson Chaney, Patty Prather, and a few other members of the Weimaraner Club of Greater Louisville that helped us out.

UPDATE 3:

Miss Pink (now Juno) with her new owners, Sydney, Kelsey, Jeff and Christy.



Mr. Black (now Lambeau) with his new owner, Derek.



Miss Yellow (now Lola) with her new owners, Jamie and David.



Mr. Green (now Tegan) with his new owners, Rob and Heather.



The puppy party also went really well. A special thanks to Brad, Marissa, Paul & Darlene Goedeker for helping us prepare the house and pick up the food. Another special thanks to Sharon Manning, Carol Easterly and Sam Easterly for helping us get the pups ready for their new homes! They also were there to offer advice and help make the new owners feel comfortable before they left.

You can check out more photos from the puppy party at Litters: Ethan x Lilly Litter: Week Eight.

UPDATE 4:

Peyton at his first show (a puppy match) in Kokomo, IN.

The little man at 17 weeks old.



And the final update is about the dog we kept, Mr. Red. Mr. Red is now known as "Bellamy's Laser Rocket Arm", Peyton. Of course I bet you can guess who named him! This litter theme was "Sports Heros". The pups are now 18 weeks old and growing like weeds!

This weekend was Peyton's first show. It was a puppy match because he can't actually compete until he is six months of age, but he did well in the ring. We need to work on standing still when a judge walks up to him because he always wants to jump up and lick them in the face! He's a wiggly butt. Peyton received a Group 2 placement losing only to a 9 month old, well trained Golden who could free stack. Poor Peyton is only 4 1/2 months old! The judge did tell Jeff he couldn't believe how well Peyton behaved for such a young dog and told him what a nice Weim we had! We will keep working with him and look forward to July when he can actually compete.
