I apologize for the slacking on puppy pictures, working on getting 5.5week pictures taken and up.

Puppies went for their first vaccination, worming and checkup this past weekend on Oct 1st, all are perfectly healthy!

Breck tested normal for patella luxation and congenital cardiac defects.  Will be working on getting the rest of the crew tested for congenital cardiac defects as well.

“Just A Dog”

From time to time people tell me,
“Lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or,
“That’s a lot of money for just a
dog.”  They don’t understand the distance
traveled, time spent, or costs involved for
“Just a dog.”  Some of my proudest moments
have come about with “Just a dog.”  Many
hours have passed with my only company
being “Just a dog,” and not once have I felt
sligted.  Some of my saddest moments
were brought about by “Just a dog.”  In
those days of darkness, the gentle touch of
“Just a dog” provided comfort and purpose
to overcome the day.

If you, too, think its “Just a dog,” you
will probably understand phrases like
“Just a friend,” “Just a sunrise,” or “Just a
promise.” “Just a dog” brings into my life
the very essence of friendship, trust and
pure unbridled joy.  “Just a dog” brings out
the compassion and patience that makes
me a better person.  Beacuse of “Just a dog”
I will rise early, take long walks and look
longingly to the future.

For me and folks like me, it’s not “Just a
dog.”  It’s an embodiment of all the hopes
and dreams of the future, the fond memories
of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
“Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me
and diverts my thoughts away from myself
and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday people can understand
it’s not “Just a dog.”  It’s he thing that
gives me humanity and keeps me from
being “Just a man or woman.”

So the next time you hear the phrase “Just
a dog,” smile, because they “Just Don’t
Understand.”

Mr. Jack Be Nimble (AKA: Jack-A-Bee) found a home yesterday with a young lady all his own!  Destined to be spoiled rotten, the way things should be.

Today was one of the two show days in Athens, TN; 2 shows today.

There was a large class of Rat Terrier Champions and Clique didn’t place.

However, Ms. Breck took a competition win Best Female in Show 2 under Violet Denney for her first Major towards her Champion title!  We are very pleased!  Her brother, Frost, took Best of Winners in Show 2 under Judge Violet Denney for his first major of his showing career as well.

So, not a total bust today 🙂  Very nice Rattie turn out at this show and many very nice specimens of the breed.

Tomorrow is 2 more shows and another day. *Fingers crossed*
