Wow it has been a long time since I've "blogged". I am not very good at this task... maybe it is because I'm so random in my thoughts and I just can't compose enough information that flows together to get a blog going :) With everyone gone from home but me today I thought I'd sit down and watch a little football! For those of you that know me, you can atest that behind God and my family (including my sweet doggies) FOOTBALL ranks pretty high on my list of enjoyables :) Well today I'm not finding it so enjoyable... Locker is out, Hasselbeck is struggling and the Titans as a team seem so disconnected. Excuse my while I pout :(
Minutes in My MindOn The Receiving End :):)I have always cherished that first moment when a new family meets their puppy for the first time... I am usually on the giving end of that situation but I still just get silly at that first meeting. Well on our way back from vacation this year I decided to stop in and meet a puppy I had watch grow in pictures and really really liked from the first time I saw her... All six of us got out of the Suburban to take a peek at this little girl! That was all it took!... meeting her and seeing what a nice representation of the Biewer breed she was and............. WE BROUGHT HER HOME WITH US!!!! I just love her to pieces. I will post pics of her soon! We call her Millie :):)
She's a jewel...I got a phone call last night from a heartbroken Biewer Mommy in tears. She made a great first impression when I met her and I knew right away that she had nothing but that little guys best interest at heart. Due to her work schedule and things beyond her control she has come to the realization that her being away so much just isn't fair to him. This could be a sad story to tell but instead it brings a smile to my face... She loves him so much that she is allowing him to bless another family of dog lovers that will be able to spend more time with him and already loves him to pieces. Most of the time what is best in a situation takes us down a road we never even knew we'd travel. Kelly...he is incredibly lucky that you came into his life and will continue to be loved and cared for by his new family! BIG HUGS my friend... you have precious heart!... The next time you are in Nashville give me a call and Mercedes and I will join you for another Wrangler sightseeing adventures :):)
!Construction Zone - Hard Hat Needed!So we broke down and build a doggie suite in our home:) My husband has wanted to do this for over a year before one of us (kids included) broke our neck trying get over the baby gate between our family room and the kitchen! So we decided to divide our family room in half (it was HUGE) and use one end of it for the Biewers to have their own room to play in when we weren't watching them and to sleep in. Gasp... I know it is terrible but my other half refuses to have them in the bed with us. On any of the rest of the furniture he doesn't care one bit but not in the bed :(... So now we have our regular living room, a family room, and our Biewer suite/Sewing room! Still trying to get it decorated appropriately but I'm working on it!! Spring is upon us and we are so excited! Love the warm weather in the south! Puppies should be here late May!
The New YearWell I have to say I have met the nicest people while trying to find new homes for our D and E litters! I hope we've made friendships that will endure... Amy, Nelda, Kathy, Kelly, Cindy, and Diana thank you for your interest in Biewers and thank you most of all for choosing to love a Strait Layne Puppy! You could have choosen any other breeder and you trusted me enough to get your new baby from us! Thank you again!
A Really Good Feeling...I had the nicest visit with 2 young ladies tonight. They were sisters and came to spend time with the puppies to see if one of the remaining four would steal their heart. They had done their homework and really knew what questions to ask and had educated themselves about Biewers in general. That is so refreshing to me! They hadn't just rushed to buy the first puppies they found that looked cute in a picture... not real spontaneous... they were able to make an informed decision! They chose Ellie! I love it when I am confident in a family's ability to care for and love a puppy!
Lucy has found her new mommy too and I am so excited for them to actually meet in person! She is such a little spitfire and is so much fun! A precious little girly! Mia has also found her new mommy! She will be going to an established breeder whom I have all the confidence in the world in... and she'll be shown to her fullest potential I know! Thank you ladies for allowing Strait Layne Biewers to be a part of what makes you smile! OH I'M WAY BEHIND!Well as I suppose everyone can tell Josie had her puppies too! They are beautiful with dark saddles and lots of color on their faces. There were born in the wee hours of the next morning after Lacie's were born in the wee morning hours... If that makes any sense at all. I've had lots of calls about the puppies and one has found her new home I'm almost positive. Update soon I promise!
They are all coming into their individual personalities and that is my favorite part! My least favorite part is the potty patrol. But they aren't to messy! Banjo received his 3 orange cards at the IABCA show in Missouri on the 18th-19th so he is now a National Champion. Well he is as soon as I get all the paperwork/fees submitted and receive his title in the mail. I love that little fella so! Anyway, LOTS going on at Strait Layne... not only with Biewers but with the Holidays TOO :)! Until next time...! Lacie's A New Mommy!Lacie has 4 beautiful babies this morning! Love Love Love their coloring! 3 girls and 1 boy... Unfortunately one little boy didn't make it. He struggled from birth and just wasn't strong enough to hold on. Lacie and the 4 remaining puppies are doing well and waiting for their playmates to arrive. Crossing our fingers that everything goes well for Josie also!
OH MY!So the girls went to see the Good Doctor yesterday. In the past we've had 3 litters with a total of 6 puppies over the last 2 years. We were totally shocked when we were told there were a total of 9... yes 9 puppies... just wiggling around and waiting to make their entrance into this world! We were thinking 4 or maybe 5 at the most... Whew... What a shocker? I know what I want for Christmas!!! Volunteers for Puppy Patrol! Both girls are over their pregnancies and ready to get those puppers delivered :)... Me? ... I'm not so sure!
It's Been A WhileThe last month we've been pretty preoccupied with Cavalier Football! That's a good thing though because our "favorite freshmen" is doing great and loving every minute on the field. Josie, Lacie, EZ, and Banjo are all doing well. I have to say that Banjo is just awesome! We are soooooooo please with how he is maturing. He had a couple retained puppy teeth pulled last week and as usual Upper Cumberland Vet Clinic took great care of him! We are keeping our fingers and toes crossed for the upcoming litters. It is still a little early to determine 100% that they are indeed expecting but we are putting our eggs in the "Positive Thinking" basket :) EZ is a man of few words (and we're glad) but he seems to love his new home and we couldn't be happier with him! I promise to do better with the frequency of the blog :)
