Nine tiny puppies in tiny pussy hats. Sparkler Puppy Activists protesting that it was acceptable to brag about sexually assaulting women.
That is how we roll.
We continue the Sparkler Birthday Week with Claire…
As you know, I made a choice to breed Claire — again. It was the third time. She did not get pregnant in the first two attempts. SO disappointing but undaunted, I changed things up and tried again.
I have had my eye on a young male since Kris O. put him on my radar last year. The way she described his working ability and attitude were exactly what I thought of his father when I watched him in Novice A obedience at the Monterey Specialty. I loved him! His son turned two in July and with his health clearances done, I got serious about him for Claire.
Two things have happened as we waited for Claire to come in season. First, I got to know his people — as represented to me by Kris, they are terrific. Dogs gift us with new friends.
The second thing that happened as we waited is that the dog starting showing a bit and in just four months, he hit #1 Berner in all-breed points. How is that for a sign from the Universe that one has made a good decision?!
Without further ado and on the occasion of her fourth birthday, Claire has a special announcement to share…
Words cannot capture how much this means to me.

Happy Birthday Claire!
Unfortunately, Claire has terrible morning (aka all-day) sickness and so her special birthday dinner will likely just be more goldfish crackers. We hope her siblings will enjoy something a bit more festive on their special day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARKLERS!
