Statesman visit

We enjoyed hosting our friends from Statesman Welsh Springer Spaniel last Saturday.

The purpose of the visit was to bring and help socialize a passel of 11-week-old puppies. For the past few weeks, Susan and Gary had been managing two litters -- a combined 13 dogs. One litter was from their dam, and the other from daughter Meghen's. Meghen, meanwhile, was at the Crufts dog show in England. So Susan and Gary were up to their ankles in puppies. They were overjoyed to have some of the pups stay at someone else's house.

We kept little Rysa and Boyo. Susan expects to breed Rysa at some point. Boyo will be placed (and probably get a new call name).

We took the little dogs around neighborhood and called in MaryAnne with her red & white, Chance. We finally gave them up to Susan W., for some fun over at her house with her dogs, Lars, Mazie, and Tatum. Our house was unnaturally quiet after the dogs left.

This little guy surveys the grounds like visiting royalty.




Focused photos generally involved sleeping puppies.



Ryssa and Boyo are from different litters, but you wouldn't know it as they curl up together after a day of play.
