Today was the big adoption day for our last two pups. The two families arrived within about 30 minutes of each other. We had some nice play time with all of the pups and dogs, and then it was time for serious orientation to feeding schedules, kibble brands, AKC papers, etc. Then Karen was ready to take her new baby Pearl home:
Then it was Holly aka Ruby's turn to say her goodbyes and start on her long trip to her new home in New Jersey.
Goodbye Holly! Goodbye Pearl! We will miss you, but we're happy to see you going out to your new homes for big adventures and lots of love and cuddling.

Valentine's Day Greetings from Lavendel Shelties!
Happy Valentine's Day
Ok, I know, I know, I'm a day early. I'm fighting off my tradition of being just a wee bit late on things! Here's a really cute video of Pearl, Holly, and our cat Jack in their production of "Puppy Love."

Sheltie girl puppy cameos
The puppies are growing and becoming cuter and more playful by the day. Here's a trio of video cameos of our remaining three girl pups, all being snuggly and loveable.
Pearl, a bi-black sheltie girl with a lot of confidence and joy:
Holly aka Ruby, a sable girl with sweetness as broad as the blaze on her face:
And Sapphire, a bi-black girl who is showing great potential for agility as she can already jump to the couch unaided. She loves to wiggle and kiss, as you can see in the video:

snowing...again
Sorry for the delay in blogging....six sheltie dogs and a full time job will keep one busy; add in nine puppies and you'll go into OVERLOAD.
The puppies are great and 5 of the nine have graduated on to their new homes.
First, Topaz went to his new home in Fairview on 1/23/2010, and is now known as Jaxson.
Later in the same day, Opal met her new family and she now resides in Georgia.
On 1/24/2010, Garnet met her new family and is now named Dottie.
The next group of puppies were due to go to their new homes on 1/30/2010. However, when the weather forecast said SNOW for this weekend, plans changed and Onyx's new family came up from Florida to get their new puppy on 1/28/2010. Onyx is now known as Archie and is happily adjusting to warmer and nicer weather with his new family.
Diamond's new family adopted her on 1/28/2010 as well, her new name is Dory.
And then came the snow. Well, I have no control over this. It's creating quite a stir at our house and for my friend Michele...as she is scheduled to come pick up her new baby Jasper on Sunday. But the news forecast calls for snow, snow, and more snow. So we'll just consult the Sheltie Weather Forecasters.
Yep, it's snowing!

Snow dogs
Here's a picture from the snow storm that hit us on 12/18/2009. That's Alan with a bin going to get more wood for the fire, with shelties Emma, Figaro, and Angus "helping" him bring in the wood. Now usually in the south the snow falls one day and looks pretty, and the next day its gone.
Well folks we still have snow on the ground and more predicted. The weather is too bitter and the puppies are too small for them to go outside; but the adult shelties all seem to enjoy the white stuff. I can't say the same for myself, this cold is just too penetrating.
So today I think I'll stay inside and play with the puppies and let the adult shelties roam outside in the fenced yard from time to time. But here is the video we took from the big snowfall on 12/18/09.
