:Kathy on…Say It in 3 Words

Last year I enclosed SASE postcards with our greetings, asking folks to share their NY dreams and meaning of Christmas in 3 words.  Some got a little carried away and composed paragraphs of beautiful thoughts!  Planned to use those postcards in a project for this year’s card.  After many renovations, Debby suggested I gather them onto a wreath and Katy offered her artistic advice on staging the photo!  Here it is!  And instead of the usual, “dreaded” Christmas letter, I collaged all the messages onto a single sheet.  Everyone on my list will receive the above card and the printed wishes.   If you look carefully you will see a yellow rosebud.  Susan sent it from her garden!
The friendship wreath now hangs on our front door, welcoming the heart of Christmas into our home.  Drop in for a cup of tea!  You are always welcome!

:Two puppies and a funeral…

You know the movie…Four Weddings and A Funeral. Three Puppies and A Funeral became Two Puppies and A Funeral. That was The Week That Was.

Friday night Ponya had an emergency c-section. Exhausting. Expensive. Hours laying in the exam room floor with her. Two thriving puppies. One not-so-thriving puppy died Sunday morning after round-the-clock care. But…

She’s got puppies!

Two daughters. One black. One gold sable. Yippee!! I wanted a Ponya daughter. There’s two! And one is black! Yippee!!

And..so..life, joyous life goes on.

:Autumn Rose

Posted: November 23, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: Apso Aficionados, FFT Lhasa Apsos | 1 Comment

I love this photo Kathy B – Oregon Kathy – sent of Rose!

autumnrosesm

Sorry I have not updated you for a while on Ms. Rose. She’s just settled in
so well that I forget sometimes that she’s not always been here.

Rose continues to battle allergies off and on — lost her whiskers to
scratching again, but they’re back and almost 3″ long now. But she
alternates the whisker scratching with rubbing off her eyelashes!!! Silly
dog! Trying a new ointment for the lids so hope they improve soon. Maybe she
can have eyelashes and whiskers at the same time again.

Rose spent a lot of time this spring, summer and fall exploring the “far
reaches” of our backyard — before this, she’d stay close to my side or on
the deck if we were in the back. I’m sending a picture taken just after she
was plowing through maple leaves, searching for squirrels and/or the nuts
they’ve buried. Nila has taught her to come running when Nila finds a
squirrel on the fence or up a tree. It’s very comical to see Nila leaping
back and forth over Rose, as they try to “get” the squirrel!

Hope this finds you and yours well.

:Roman’s first Rally title…

Posted: November 22, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: FFT Lhasa Apsos | 1 Comment

Julie forwarded the following news sent by Mary…

scan001001

Attached photo of Roman’s first Rally title. He wasn’t excited
about the photo shoot, so not the best picture but he did well at the
trials, 97 or higher for scores. We will work on Rally Advanced (off leash)
after the first of the year.

Melissa ran Roman for his jumpers run our last CPE trial. He qualified and
ran really well for Melissa. It was fun to watch someone else (who is
faster, a better handler than me) run him and see the training has paid off.
It was most rewarding to see him have fun.

Take care.
Mary Rees, Roman, Taz
