DUNANTUL MAGGIE MAE

 

What a little celebrity I am.  Don't you think?  I had so much fun at the VCA Nationals.  First we had a really fun road trip.  I absolutely love riding in the car.  It was a pretty long ride, but it didn't seem so far as long as I was asleep, which I was most of the time.  Then my human mom had me prance around and stack me.  I like the feeling of the judge's hands on me.  Well...I guess the judge liked me too because I won 4th Place in the Futurity Stakes!  Well, I am rather pretty don't you think?  My human Mom is pretty too.  We make a good team!

Then...Dixie handled me in the 6 to 9 month puppies.  This judge was really nice and gave me 3rd place.  Look at the people in this picture.  I think they are really proud of me.  Look how nice I stack.  I stood real still so the picture wouldn't be smeary.  That's important human people tell me.  My human mom has done a super job with me, don't you think?  Maybe I will get a chance to do this again.  Hope all of you at Nationals had as much fun as I did.  Hope to see some pictures of you guys too.  Just stand really still.  Bye now.

 Hi Everyone:  I hope you like my pictures.  I had so much fun hunting for birds today.  In fact, I think I like hunting more than anything else in my life....except for snuggling.

 Right there...do you see him?  The bird is right there...hurry up...  I'm showing you right where it is.

 I'm thinking I better not take even one more step closer.  He's right there, you guys.  Is someone going to tell me what to do now?  Do you want me to stand here like this...or jump on the bird...or, you choose.

Oh..It looks like you are going to hide that bird all over again and have me find it.  Oh boy, oh boy...I really like this game.

Tell me what you think.  Dog paw words work.

DUNANTUL'S CLASSICAL CAPRICEIO (TUCKER)

 Hi:  My name is Tucker.  My human Dad has been taking some pictures of me in the woods.  Do you like them?  I love running in the woods.  In fact, I like it so much I ran past my Mom (who was taking out the trash) and caught up with my Dad who was going for a walk in the woods.  I have learned to do all sorts of things already...I'm so smart!  I can open doors all by myself...even car doors.  I have a very good nose.  I can find my Dad no matter where he goes.  My Dad worries about me...yup, I worry about him too when I can't see him.

My latest adventure was when my Dad left me in the car while he ran into Home Depot really fast.  I was so bored...and I know he was missing me...so I opened the car door, ran across two parking lots, opened the door to the store and found him...way back in the garden department.  He looked surprised to see me when I gave him a big, wet kiss.  That's funny...I wasn't at all surprised to see him.  I could find him with my nose.  I have a very, very good nose.  Just wait until I have the opportunity to find birds...I'll find him a bunch!  Talk to you again soon.  Love, Tucker.

DUNANTUL'S STRANGER IN THE NIGHT (PORTER)

Hi:  It's me, Porter.  I'm in my yard, looking out at the world beyond.  I'd like to go out there, but I must wait for my human Mom or Dad to take me out. They like to keep me safe.  I stand like this a lot.  My parents call it a "self stack." I'm looking forward to some conformation shows to see what the judges think of me.  Mom and Dad think I'm the best ever...and my breeder thinks so too.  I'm seven months old now.  The time sure flies when you're having fun!  I look forward to seeing some of you at my next showtime.  Bye for now.....

DUNANTUL MAGGIE MAE

Hi...It's me, Maggie.  I'm so glad to be able to talk with you again.  I'm trying to find a really good place to lay in the sun.  The funny humans in this house put the couch way over on the other side of the room, away from the sun...so, I had no choice but to take the couch pillows off the couch and put them in front of the window.  Why?  Because I wanted something soft to lay on, of course.  The only confusing thing was when my human Mom ran after me to take one of the pillows away.  Actually, it was kind of fun.  I figured out that I am much faster than Mom and I can turn quicker too.  :)  The good thing was I didn't chew anything up.  Actually, I've been pretty much "chewed out" with all the sticks and bushes outside to prune.  Hope to hear from you soon.  I'd like to know what you are getting into these days....  Bye

DUNANTUL MAGGIE MAE

 Hi:  This is me, Maggie.  In this picture I was being shown for the very first time at the TEVCO Specialty in Albany.  Look how nicely I am holding my stack.  And look how I hold my tail out all by myself.  My Mom has been taking me to handling classes.  We are learning how to do this together.  That's so much fun.

Here you can see how nice I am maturing from the rear.  Whoops, I forgot about the tail part.  It's so hard to remember everything when one is only five months old...which was how old I was here.  Isn't my mom doing a good job with me.  I think so.  It feels good to do things together.

Hope to see some pictures of you soon.

DUNANTUL'S IRISH BALLAD OF WICKLOW

March 26, 2013

Hi:
My name is Wicklow. I live in Woodinville, WA on a nice one acre parcel of land.  My family loves me a lot.  They wanted to post a couple pictures of me so you can see how beautiful I am.  I am six months old now.  My breeder and my Mom and Dad think I have the prettiest face ever.  I try to make them happy by holding my ears up really nice. 

What a pretty day.  I like it best when the sun shines outside.  Do you know I ran all over this field.  At the moment I am posing for this picture.  I have no problem looking like royalty.  After all, I am the queen of the household....well at least the princess. 

I hope to see some pictures of my brothers and sisters soon. 

DUNANTUL'S GRAND FINALE (NIKE)

 Hi:  This is Nike saying "hello."  We have been having problems with our camera taking pictures, but we did manage to get a couple of pictures to take today.  I can tell you, I get really tired of posing, only to find out the picture didn't take.  I wanted you to know my eyes are not this bright blue color...again the camera isn't cooperating.  When Mom went to take the "red eye" out, my whole eye went away.  That didn't look good.  So, Mom put the light eye back in.  I am this dark copper color now. 

I just came back from running through the gate...just for a moment.  Mon said, "Get back in your yard." so I did....  Dad has been working with me in the field.  I can out-run my Mom now even though I am only 1/2 as big.  Isn't that good!  I can stack and I can wiggle.  It will be interesting which I will decide to do at the specialty on February 23.  I actually like to go out in the rain.  I look for birds in the bushes and in the yard.  I can point them too.  It's really fun being a dog.  I hope to hear from you soon brothers and sister.  Love,  Nike

DUNANTUL MAGGIE MAE

 Hi:
This is Maggie checking the blogspot for more pictures.  I'm so excited when I see pictures of my litter brother and sisters.  I am taking a conformation class and having so much fun.  Here I am self-stacking.  Do you see that smear behind me?  That is my tail wagging really fast.  I like to wag.  Do you?

 Here Sue is stacking me.  I'm learning to be a show dog for her.  We have a lot of fun together stacking and running and stacking.  I like people stroking my skin and hair and checking out my teeth.  I guess they like doing it too.  We hope to see you soon at one of the upcoming shows.

DUNANTUL'S IRISH BALLAD OF WICKLOW

My name is Wicklow.  This is my first post with more on the way as I grow.  I am outside exercising  with my family.  I live in Mt. Vernon, so I have a lot of fun running around the outskirts of town.  Check out how nice I hold up my ears.  My mom and dad say that's really pretty when I do that. I think I'm pretty all the time.

 This is one of my Favorite places...I'm out of the way of big human feet...well, almost... and I can get nice and warm in the sun.  I like laying around and looking beautiful.  My family likes that too.

Can you tell it's been raining by what my mom is wearing...boots?  That's so funny to me.  I just walk around with my bar feet and it's OK if they get wet.  I'm growing into a beautiful girl.  My grandma says most of my brothers and sisters have this beautiful head.  I don't have any white on me...but i looks like I do. Isn't that funny?  I look like I'm wearing a slingshot.  I have a beautiful full chest.  My head is really, really beautiful too, don't you think?  Do they have shows that give a Dog Head Certificate of Excellence?  I would surely win, don't you think?  My litter mates might not agree.  Well, we'll all talk about it when we are together sometime soon.

Dunantul Maggie Mae

 Hi...this is Maggie.  I just wanted you to see how beautiful I am.  I have the best toys and family.  My human Mom has put me in a private conformation class.  I learning how to stack and free stack and gait.  It's so fun to go places with my human mom.

We don't know who put the couch under us.  My adopted sister and I like to cuddle on this big squishy pillow on legs.  Don't you think the colors go nice with our coats?  Well, I would never get up here without "support."

Warm laundry is one of my favorite smells.  I found this nice dog bed (it is a dog bed, right?) full of the best smells.  So, I just hopped in.  I think my human mom wasn't too excited about my being in there for some reason.  Even though I laid all over the clothes, I thought they still smelled fine.  My human Mom put them back in the washer again.  Humans can be so funny.  I think it was a waste of soap.  What do you think?  Next time I'll wait until she has them all folded.  I think she'll be happier about my being on the top of them, don't you?

By the way, my human Mom is Sue.  I'll just call her Sue from here on out, OK?

Have fun looking at me.  Hope to see you at some of the upcoming dog shows.

Dunantul's Grand Finale (Nike)

 Hi Pups and Friends:  I just wanted to show you part of my yard where I like to play.  I spend lots of time listening to new noises like airplanes, tractors, chainsaws, leaf blowers, cars and people.  I don't bark, I just listen.  Mom likes that.  My Mom barks sometimes.  She thinks she needs to let everyone know if someone is on the road.  It's really nice outside...sunny, but a bit cold.  Mom and I play outside sometimes.  We play inside too...until mom tells us to "settle".

Here I am listening to my mom Windy bark at a lady walking on the road.  My human mom usually tells her "no bark" or "quiet."  I just listen and watch a lot.  I am growing fast now.  I know how to sit and stay now.  This helps my human mom feed me without spilling my food all over the floor because I put my feet in it.  I can't do that when I'm sitting.
I also go to Puppy Romper Room.  My next class is the first Monday in January.  I will try to learn to play with other funny looking dogs of all sizes.  I'm leaning my "down." now.

DUNANTUL'S INFIDEL DIVA ERSEBET

 Hi:  My name is Zsoka.  I am Nike & Porter & Tucker & Maggie's sister.  I was the light pink collar puppy.  My human Dad had these pictures taken of me and I put them in the proper order.  So...I have some title names for you.  This picture is named "Step on it."  Get it?  How do you like my scarf?  My Dad bought it for me, I think, so I would fit in with the Christmas season.










Here is a close up shot of me.  Haven't I got a beautiful face?  I sat here with my chest puffed out.  Isn't that what calendar girls do?  My dad says I am pretty as a picture.  What do you think?

 I'm told I look a lot like my mom when she was little.  I have that little lap of skin on my hind quarters like my mom had.  I like to pick up sticks and run in the woods.  My human Dad lives by the bay, so I spend lots of time on the water's edge.

My Dad thinks we should name this picture:
Tail Bent for Leather.  I think that has something to do with my activity level.  What do you think?
When I sit down my skin slips down too.  Isn't that funny?  Don't worry, I will grow into my skin soooo fast.  This is a really nice sit picture, don't you think?

I named this picture, "Leaf me Alone."  I don't really mean it though.  I love people, especially my Dad.  He is so nice to me, even when I chew a hole in his cashmere watch cap or his socks.  Maybe my Dad should have named me "Patches."  :)  Get it?  You will......

I hope to see more pictures of you guys too.

Love,  Zsoka.

PORTER - LITTERMATE TO NIKE

 Hi:  My name is Porter.  I am just 8 or 9 weeks old here.  I love being held by beautiful women.  Yup...I'm a guy dog.

 Well...look at that funny-looking thing.  It has four legs but is definitely the wrong color and something happened to its ears...way too short.  Somebody said it was a cat.  I like watching it.  However, it's good that it has its own space and I have mine.  We'll get to be friends sometime in the future, but I'm way too young to get into the mixed-species space, you know?

 This is my favorite place...it is warm, it is friendly and it smells just right.  I'm really trying to keep my eyes open for my picture, but it's
                                way
                                          too
                                                  hard.  zzzzzzzzz

 Look at me now!  I'm 11 weeks old and am I handsome or what?  Notice I have a new tag on my color.  It tells you who I am and where I belong.  I love living here, and I think my parents feel the same about themselves now that I've come along. 

No...I don't have a big nose and small feet....silly.  I am looking up and you are looking down.  Look at my beautiful eyes.  I'm told they are just the right shape.  Pretty soon my parents will put my in a beauty contest...they call it conformation.  It's a shoe-in, don't you think.  Especially if I keep my eyes open and ears up. 

That's it for now.  If you have a picture of my sister or brother, just send it to my mom's parents at weldon@bctonline.com.  They will post it on this blog for the world to see. 

This was fun.  See you again real soon.

Love & Licks,
  Porter

MAKING MY OWN BED

I love soft blankets.  In fact I love them so much I decided to take all of them off the sectional and put them on the floor, together with the pillow.  There, that's about right, let's see...mmmm...cozy.  Wait, is that dad calling?  Oh no, he wants to put me in my kennel to sleep.  Well, maybe I can take a nap right here tomorrow.  I really miss my litter mates.  I hope you will send me a picture or two.  I'll post them right here for everyone to see.  OK?  Sweet Dreams............

WINDY WANTS TO SHOW OFF SOME PICTURES OF HER PUPPIES.  THEY ARE IN THEIR NEW HOMES NOW...AND THEY ARE DOING GREAT! 

This is Nike. He stayed with Windy and her family. He is getting everyone trained very well and is such a lovely boy!

Rainbow colored collar female became Maggie, a lovely, smart girl pictured above and also below, with her fellow vizsla housemate.

 This is Tucker ( Green colored collar) showing off what a smart boy he is.

What a very handsome  boy he is, Tucker.

Tucker, so cute,  asleep on a knee with his tongue sticking out.

Thank you owners for the great photos! Windy is so proud of all the pups.

Pups are really growing and enjoying the outdoors now too

We have been let out to play in the yard!! This is one of the girls striking a pose but we are all very lovely pups! 

 Inside, we have to check out everything! Hey what's over this wall?

When we do settle for a nap, we still like our warming mat and to cuddled close to each other.
We are dreaming of our next outside play time and lunch! 

 

 

HERE WE ARE IN OUR PLAY PEN

 

 

We haven't written in a while, but we have been very busy.  Mom and Dad have wormed us once (that kept us busy for an entire day) and they are going to worm us again tomorrow.  We thought we had better write today before we have yard duty (get it?)  We are now eating three times a day, and our Vizsla Mom, Windy, is still feeding us a couple times a day too.  Mom is watching us pretty close to see who is getting fat and who isn't.  The less fat guys get to eat on Mom more often.  Us fat guys wonder if that is really fair.  What do you think?  Mom is also training us.  She won't put our food dish in the whelping box until we are all sitting.  We've all learned to sit now, but not necessarily at the same time.  When Mom puts the dish in the whelping box, we all get up at the same time and somehow one of us seems to get stuck under the dish.  We haven't figured out how to remedy that yet.  We've had our toenails trimmed three times now.  We will get our toenails done again tomorrow. We hope we will be able to go outside tomorrow, if the rain will ever stop for long enough.  We really like to run around out there.  I hope you like our picture. Notice Mr. Orange is sitting but just had to put his two front feet on the fence.  We think that is cheating. We tried hard to look at the camera.  This picture had more of us looking than any other.  We will post more pictures as time allows.  Hope you like us writing to you.  Give us a message and let us know.  Many licks,  Windy Puppy Group
