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.
