Apologies for my blog posts not working today. I’m not sure what happened to the images in that last post but I deleted it and am starting over with pix from the big camera

Every little girls dream is to be this Fairy!!! OMG this actress was beautiful and literally floated as she walked.

Bling was getting antsy and decided to go for a slow ride on the tortoise who was collection money for the Minnesota Herpatological group. They had a number of abandoned and abused/neglected tortoises on display at the festival

Bling Bling just “lion” around

A beautiful procession of Arabian horses with riders in full costume went by us

Here’s a broader view of the festival grounds. I have many many MANY more pix on the way when I return home!!!

A rare shot of my son Bryan and I together!!! He’s a tough one to get to sit still long enough!!

Well we are just about busting at the seams with this news about a litter born in Thailand, pictured now at 19 days old, sired by our home bred boy Vincent (BISS CH. Chinarose the Impressionist). Vinnie has been gone for some years now but is FAR from forgotten. We froze semen on him years ago and recently chose to let our wonderful friend Ekarat Sangkunakup in Thailand breed one of his incredible girls to Vincent. The breeding was done as a surgical insemination which can be very touchy to say the least.

Lo and behold we have 4 lovable little “pupsicle” girls, all rough coat reds and just as consistant as they can be. I spoke on the phone with Ek two nights ago and puppies are doing fantastic. He says they are very hot from the Thai humidity and heat and the rain won’t stop so he’s very anxious to see them get a bit older and on solid food soon.

Diana and I own Vincent so we are the proudest grandparents you can imagine. Thank you Ek for bringing this gorgeous girl (”Money) to Vincent. It takes two to make magic and we are so excited to see more photos as they develop.!!

PICTURED ABOVE IS ME WITH VINCENT!!

The beautiful mother to this litter is “Money” Am.Ch.Uniteds Gold Bullion OFA Prelim Good

Money reminds us so much of our dear departed Magenta that it is simply eerie!! After the breeding took place we realized that Ek had judged Magenta and finished her championship and Steve judged Money and finished hers!!!! It was just meant to be this way!!

On another note…a gorgeous day brought the camera out to the Beaverton Farmers Market..Click the image below to see the album full of fun images I took today!
