Hope you all enjoy the change from snow to a bit warmer temperatures. So far all the pups are doing great in their new homes and we are pleased to hear everyone is happy.

Now a bit of fun again to make you smile

Medical tests

A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.

The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead too."

The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead. The vet brings in a black Labrador. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead too."

The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$650."

"$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaimed the man....

"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests."

Blonde's Special Order

A brunette, a redhead and a blonde went to an ice cream parlor together. The brunette went up and asked for a Dr. Pepper float with no ice cream. The counter man was confused, but gave her a Dr. Pepper float with no ice cream. The redhead went up and asked for a single dip of vanilla ice cream with Pepsi poured over it. The man was really confused now. But he gave the redhead her order. The blonde was listening to the other two women and thought that she should have a ''special order'' too. So she went up and asked for an extra-large root beer with no roots.

Enjoy and have a great day

As I always post after midnight for me it is still the 20 th of Jan. which makes it 15 month to the day where my Baby girl Kaleila past. The 20 th is like a black mark on the calender each month, yet it is not as pain full cause I feel at easy that she is so happy now and I know she is with me in spirit. Her little great grand daughter Leela helps a lot. But my girl will always have the # 1 spot in the corner of my heart.

Here is a small story for you

Where do pets come from?

It is reported that the following edition of the Book of Genesis was discovered in the Dead Seal Scrolls. If authentic, it would shed light on the question, "Where do pets come from?"

And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will bewith you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are taken and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility."

And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not worthy of adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam.

And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved. And Dog wagged his tail.

And Cat did not care one way or the other.

Enjoy and have a great day!

Hope the rain will stop soon, our dogs get tired of it also. Today I took Leela to Pet Cetera. She got a new Collar and a little Heart ID tag and she was so well behaved, that everyone complemented me on how nice she was.

Now here is a cute joke:

"How many dogs does it take to put in a light bulb?"

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out light bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. And I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

Dachshund: I can't reach the stupid lamp!

Toy Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

ROTTWEILER: GO AHEAD! MAKE ME!

Shi-tzu: Puh-leeze, dah-ling. Let the servants. . . .

Lab: Oh, me, me!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Can I?

Malamute: Let the Border collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy.

Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

Doberman Pinscher: While it's dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch.

Mastiff: Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark.

Hound Dog: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

Irish Wolfhound: Can somebody else do it? I've got a hangover.

Pointer: I see it, there it is, right there...

Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

Australian Shepherd: Put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? Light bulb? That thing I just ate was a light bulb?

Till next time

What a great day!!After sending a lot of emails yesterday to all our clients on our email list we got some of the emails back due to changes of email etc. So I went into my files and started calling. In no time I found myself talking to clients I haven't heard from in years and was thrilled to hear that everyone is doing great including the dogs. Nothing but positive results and praise about the temperament and intelligence of our dogs. It was absolutely wonderful to hear such great comments and happy people on the other end of the phone line. It was like a warm welcome home after being a few years away for a trip. Some even mentioned that they will come back for another dog eventually.

Today I truly felt that my purpose of being a breeder was full filled to its fullest as to me this is the biggest reward and I know that we accomplished our goal we had in mind from the beginning.. Producing a healthy and stable dog suitable for a family environment which includes children and other pets.  TASK ACCOMPLISHED!!!  Thanks to all of you for giving our pups such loving and stable homes, we could not have wished for more.

Thanks till later Liz

This is something I read in "the Patience news" while waiting at the doctors. It is absolutely hilarious.

NOAH'S ARK 2005

In the year 2005, The Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in Canada, and said,"Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build an Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans." He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have six month to build the Ark before I will start the rain for 40 days and 40 nights". Six month later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard but no ark. "Noah", he roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?" Forgive me Lord," begged Noah. "But things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision. Then Transport Canada and the Departments of moving power, trolley and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I argued that the sea would be coming to us, but they wouldn't hear of it. The wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls. But no go! When I started gathering the animals, I got sued by an animal rights group. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. As well, they argued the Ark was too restrictive and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space. Then Environment Canada ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood. I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew. Also the trades union say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark building experience. To make matters worse, Canada Customs and Revenue Agency seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species. So, forgive me Lord, but it would take at least yen years for me to finish this Ark." Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked. You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"................................."NO," said the Lord. "The government beat me to it."

Hope you enjoyed this one
