Lyra spent the day with us. I gave her a haircut and we played at the park. Like her mother Grace, she loves it there. She cracks me up scooping up the ball and teasing with it. Nobody dares take Grace’s ball, so her intimidation tactics are very amusing. Lyra was oblivious ☺️☺️
Parris started her CUSHINGS treatment today ( it’s a cancer drug to reduce the growth on her gland) she will have to take it the remainder of her life but I hope she returns to her perky self.

Happy FIRST BIRTHDAY TO Rene and Wally’s GLEE BABIES Puck/Manny, Artie/Murphy, Kurt/Tosh, Finn/Fleury, Cameo/Belle, Sugar/Rolo, Sue/Maggie and MERCEDES😍❤️😘 such cuties!!! AND we can’t wait for more in six days ( give or take) everything is ready, I set up the puppy cams yesterday and they are broadcasting 😀 Watch our Facebook page for news of the babies arriving😀

We are entering the last week of our wait for babies!! Hopefully this time next week me and lots of new families will be VERY HAPPY☺️ To add to the fun the next week Rosalie shows us her babies!! Mindys going to stay with us, I think she prefers being here than surprise puppies in the back yard😳

Parris and Reggie’s adorable baby girl Vera/Suki❤️ I have no idea how Parris had red babies, there is no red of apricot anywhere in her pedigree. What a pleasant surprise my sweet girl gave me. The vet called today and the test confirmed Parris has CUSHINGS disease. There are two causes but the most common is a benign tumor on the pituitary gland resulting in the over production of cortisol that regulates sugar and salt. Medication shrinks the growth and production returns to normal however she will need to stay on the meds all her life. I prefer this to Addison’s disease where no cortisol is produced ( much more difficult to regulate). Sadly old dogs wear out ( like old people) I’m so glad there is a fix for my precious girl and I can enjoy her company for awhile longer( a long while ) ❤️😍😍😍

Another beautiful Poppy and Reggie baby😀 Liev has the most beautiful eyes😀 How I love seeing our babies, that’s what is so fun about the reunions LOTS of poodles and the people who love them😀 Come join us May 21, details on the EVENTS TAB of our Facebook page. The fall reunion will be September 10 😀😀

TEN MORE DAYS!! I Love our theme ” 2 nd AMENDMENT” Girls: Kimber,
Citori, Beebee, Marlin, Benelli, Beretta, Tikka, Uzi BOYS: Ruger, Ammo, Gunner, Parker, Westley, Merkel, Remmington, Winchester😀😀 we are a big gun family so it’s only fitting😀
We are getting ready for the poodle reunion May 21. The trailer I once hated is now a happy home for my kitties. I’m putting lattice around the bottom so they feel safe from the dogs when they don’t want to be inside. They are getting better about staying out of the fence ( they run to see me when I come) I’ve never had cats ( Tom thought 10 dogs was enough) so these sweet little animals are a real treat for me😍😍

Morning treats Monica, Joey, Chip and Ross😍

I honestly can’t believe we got so many brindle babies from Grace and Dennis!! They are so fabulous!! I sure hope Grace gives me a brindle girl this fall ( although I’d be happy with a brown or brown & white parti like Moola). I wish I’d kept Lyra but didn’t want two black girls😕 This was better I get to see her and have two babies from Grace as her co- owner😀
12 days to go for Rene babies!! 20 days for Rosalie. We have lots of wonderful families waiting with us!!
No Parris test results yet😩

Happy THIRD Birthday to Poppy and Reggie’s FRENCH names babies😀Cosette, Bridgette/Roxie, Clouseau/Louie and Armand/Fred ❤️ Poppy’s last babies😩 They were beauties and very amusing😀 Armand/Fred is the engineer of the famous “FRED SIZED HOLE” (that I’ve seen shared many times on Facebook and Pinterest😀 ) I really miss the Poppy babies, she was just THE BEST MOM, she loved having babies. I’m so glad she is with her baby Pebbles/Rosie and Pat. Nothing would make her happier than spending her life with one of her babies😀

Another beauty from Rene and Wally😀😘 Sugar/Rolo from the GLEE litter and her little human are best friends😍😍 Just 13 more days for more of these adorable pups😀 We can’t wait to see who we get!!
Parris had an all day test for CUSHINGS disease. She’s mad at me, hardly looked at me. She does not feel good, I can’t wait to get her results so we can start fixing whatever it is. After reading about CUSHINGS I’m sure that’s what it is. I’ve noticed she had a pot belly but dismissed it as age. She’s always been a good eater so I didn’t notice increased appetite. It was the drinking and peeing that was new, so hopefully we are early in the illness and it can be managed with medication. She has no energy and sleeps, however if we are going in the car she springs to life😕 They sure are good at hiding how rotten they feel.

what a fabulous boy! Love his markings😀 He is so loved, just like we like it😍😍😍 I have my fingers crossed for more babies just like him!! Rene and Wally have such a wide variety of wonderful colors, the waiting is murder ( 2 more weeks) their personalities are delightful😀 We think we have the BEST BABIES😀
