Mr. Man, Clique, was from our fist litter out of CH Dragonfly I’m Something Elsa & CH RaganRat’s Wrinkle In Time CGC and was not an attractive puppy. However, something told us to keep him to watch and boy are we glad we did! We’d have been seriously kicking ourselves. Clique has given his all, this handsome fellow is our first homegrown Show Champion but also our first Show Grand Champion! We couldn’t be prouder and look forwards to his upcoming babies.
Clique is a fabulous, and natural ratter, helping to train the youngsters.

Carter
THIS DOG IS NOT OF OUR BREEDING.
FOSTER: Carter is nothing but a love bug.
This boy was pulled on his available day from our local shelter in Wythe County, VA.
He’s since been neutered, vaccinated for rabies, wormed & defleaed with Comfortis and is now ready for his forever home. Estimated at 3 yrs old, great with cats, dogs and kids.
12/11 Update: Fingers crossed that Carter-man gets to go to rescue! Where he’ll get more attention from potential adopters.

White/Chocolate/Tan Piebald
03/06/2011
Clearances:
Primary Lens Luxation – CBP
Congenital Cardiac – Normal
Patella Luxation – RAT-PA993/37F/P-VPI
Ms. Penee is a real character, just a happy to be nominated, full of energy like her mother. Pennee is out of CH RaganRat Braided BanglesNBeads (‘Braidy’) & sired by GRCH Nimh’s Point ‘N Clique (‘Clique’).
Ms. Penee is available to an approved home. Would make one heck of an agility dog, this girl has springs in her legs and no fear. She’s a velcro dog and will bond closely with her person. She cannot be left alone outside, even in a fenced yard as she’s a proficient climber, even easily scales 6ft fences. She’d probably be a good candidate for the invisible or underground fencing. Penee is crate trained and will try to let you know when she needs to go out (bonces at the door) and as long as you watch her ques she’s good inside.

Pets vs Jack Frost
I was attempting to come up with a good topic for our first Blog posting, and of course we have to keep it dog (pet) related so I was thinking with our recent ‘Frankenstorm’ we should talk about some pet safety tips.
R
ight now, we’re ‘walking in a winter wonderland’ – at the end of October here in Southwest Virginia! Here are a few tips on keeping your pets warm and safe during freezing temperatures.
- If you have outside pets and can’t bring them in, be sure they have plenty of warm bedding tucked away in a sturdy shelter to battle the cold and wind. Dry straw and shavings make for a nice soft area to nest.
- You will want to think about increasing your outdoor pets’ caloric intake as well to help them put on some extra fat for insulation against the dropping temperatures.
- Don’t forget the drinkable water to digest the extra calories. Without water, the pet can dehydrate quickly even with
snow all around. Don’t think that your pet can eat snow instead of drink water, by eating snow the pet will quickly lower its core body temperature and can lead to hypothermia and potential death. - Some breeds are made for colder climates and fair fine in the cooler temperatures, examples being huskies and malamutes. Please keep the smaller dogs indoors. Smaller dogs and short haired breeds will feel the cold much quicker than the larger, double coated breeds. The smaller breeds will be in more frequent contact with the fallen snow which, after a period of time, can lead to hypothermia from exposure.
- There are some health conditions that can hinder a pet’s ability to regulate their body temperature, such as heart disease, kidney disease, hormonal imbalance and diabetes. Keep a close watch on them as they do their business outside, if it’s cold for you it is cold for them as well. A jacket or sweater could help in those brief outdoor moments but not meant to be worn for long periods of time so please don’t think that your sweater-ed dachshund can spend all day outside in a foot of snow.
- Antifreeze, salt and other dangerous chemicals are also a major concern during the winter months. Wipe of your pets’ paws, legs and under belly when they come inside. Pets can unknowingly ingest the chemicals just by licking it off their body parts and it takes very little of Antifreeze to kill a dog.
- According to the
website, more dogs are lost during the winter than any other season so please remember to keep identification tags on your pets at all times. Microchips are also great as a backup since can’t be lost.
Everyone stay nice and cozy — maybe even ‘throw another dog on the bed’ 😉
Nimh’s Blogging!
We’re attempting to create a blogging area for our site.

We’ve got snow here at Nimh in southwest Virginia. Expecting a foot – 18″ worth, depending on which weather channel you watch.
Both wood stoves are burning and all dogs are hunkered near heaters with some extra bedding. Hope all our extended doggie family is staying safe and warm/dry during this crazy weather!
