3/30/10 – Day 7 still waiting…

Well it’s been 7 days since the 3rd breeding.  Still no signs of pregnancy (that I can tell).  She doesn’t seem to be gaining weight and as much as I ask her, she just won’t tell me if there are babies growing in there!  Sheesh! This week, we’ve had a guest.  Bella the GWP (German [...]

3/23/10 – Home at last

Mom and I woke up bright and early Tuesday morning to head back for one last breeding. Everything went really well and we were back on the road by 10:00. I dropped mom off in Anderson at 6:00 and arrived home to Sacramento at 8:45. It was a long drive but it was worth it [...]

3/19/10 – Heading to Oregon

This is it!  This is breeding weekend!  Liz has chosen a stud, a field dog from Oregon and Roxie, Mom and I are heading to Oregon after a rollercoaster ride of decisions of going to Oregon, then not going to Oregon, then finally late last night, going to Oregon.  Whew!  It’s been a long  week.  I [...]
