Just Dandy

Everything has been just dandy here. We had our first thunder and lightning storm last night that really shook the house. The dogs didnt's seem to notice. In fact, I think they were sleeping through it when I went downstairs to get my cell phone (power went out and I needed an alarm!)
Pretty hot here. Jesse got the new and improved permanent dog shelter up a couple months ago and it has really paid off this summer.

Hunter is now 32 lbs at 8 months old, and Stormy is 18 lbs at 6 months old.
It sounds like Kaci might be here this weekend with Velvet. Velvet used to live here while Hunter was a little puppy. They will probably all play until they pass out!


Storm (black/tan tri girl seen here) is still available to a companion home.

I am very excited to announce that one of the LE x Magic puppies will be coming to grow up here in September (when we can fly the dogs again). I miss LE but it will be nice to have a daughter here to play with!

It looks like there will be enough dogs at the Enumclaw, WA show to have 2 points (if all show up) and Redmond, WA has a 3 point major in dogs! So wish Hunter and I luck ;)

Lazy Weekend

It was nice to enjoy the early morning sun and afternoon
shade during our lazy weekend. Here are some pictures
of Hunter and Storm playing and resting on the cool tile
next to the AC vent. That is by far Storm's favorite spot
in the house.

Hunter's coat is starting to look nice and shiny again.
I switched his food, added a little oil, and bathe him
about once a week to get rid of the dead and damaged hair.
Stormy has a lovely coat. Thick undercoat and dark
deep black color.

Dayl updated the Aurigan website today. http://www.aurigan.com/ Which is a collaboration
of several 'kennels' including mine.

This summer is going by so quickly.

Hunter and I will be at the Enumclaw, WA show in a couple weeks and then a one day show in Redmond, WA. I am having such a good time showing this boy - even if we werent winning, he is still just fun to show and play with. Dayl and Pam are his breeders and they are very pleased with how he and his sister Meme (back in NC) are turning out.

Available

Stormy, our 5 month old black and tan girl is available to a performance or companion home. She is full of energy and would be great with kids or someone who likes to take their dog and go. She does well with other dogs and large groups of people. She travels well also. She is on the smaller side of the Cardigan breed and might mature to about 20 - 23 lbs. She plays with Hunter constantly and it will be hard to give up his playmate. Please contact me by e-mail at yolanda@dune.aurigan.com for more information/pictures.
