Swimming Koyuki

Toshimi sent this poem and I just had to share!
Koyuki is Edie’s litter sister, sired by Ian and out of Tequlia.

She likes to play in river and lake like my Chacha does.
She does not scare anything.
Now she can do anything she want to!
Because she can not be a show dog any more.
Her face coat never grow. Puppy face forever….

Happy Birthdays…a day late

Yesterday Frankie, Rose and Seth turned 7 years old. Frankie and Rose are siblings. Seth, although related, is not a sibling.

My intention, this next year, is to have a collage page, linked through the Galleries, done for each dog. A nice target would be that dog’s birthday. It didn’t happen with this trio…there’s always next year!

Rose’s page was the first scrapbooking collage page I did. Be sure to scroll down to see photos of her in her forever home. See Rose’s page

Although there’s not yet a scrapbook collage for him, Seth does have a page with a nice photo and correspondence from Carolyn. See Seth’s page

Frankie, you’ll just have to wait! I’ve got great photos of you, but not yet transferred to your page. I’m thinking a canoe theme would be perfect for you.

New Homes

People ask us all the time, “Isn’t it hard to let our puppies and dogs go, don’t we get attached?”  Of course we do!  It is especially hard to let some of the older dogs go, that have been so important to us.  Yet,  those moments of sadness seem almost insignificant compared to the joy we are able to give the puppies/dogs and their new owners when the dogs are placed in their “forever” homes.  This past weekend, I placed 2 puppies in their “forever” homes and I look forward to staying in touch and hearing about the love and joy the puppies have brought into their new familes.-Julie

Also, going to her new home is, “Timbers’ For Your Eyes Only”, call name Iris.  Iris, went to live with Shelley Potter, who will co-own her with my daughter, Kaylee and myself.  I have know Shelley for years, as a student of mine ,where I teach confirmation classes.  Shelley has shown and raised Lowland Polish Sheepdogs and has always loved the look and heritage of the lhasa .Shelley contacted me, when she decided she was ready for a “show” lhasa.  I look forward, to watching Shelley fall in love with breed (we all know it is inevitable) and welcoming her into our world of the Lhasa Apso and the Fleetfire Timbers’ circle of friends.

You may have noticed Shelley has been posting comments for the past couple of months and there is a link to her website.
