Begging !

Duncan showing a Cardigan's 3000 years of selective breeding & training !

Surprise !

Well two noticed me !

Judy Time !

Figure Judy will go 4 days early ( it's her way ) on May 5 instead of May 9 . Maybe 6 Black & White pups , judging by her size .

" Who's A Chicken ? "

Silo sharing lunch with a few chickens !

Why I Don't Ship !

Just Another Boring Meal !

Don't worry mom will clean up !

May 9th ?

Judy waiting to go out & waiting for puppies . May 9th is her due date but she can go 4 days early ! Note portable ramp which Judy uses to breach the steps ?

Strange Beast Terrorizing Locals !

People claim to have seen a horrible creature described as half Cardigan & Rabbit ! Some sick designer dog or military projest gone wrong ?

Protected Plants

Moved vegetable plants from daytime greenhouse in fore ground . Have protected in garage on garden cart . Have overhead lamp just out of sight , incase temp drops below 50 degrees . Will move back to daytime greenhouse after warms up .

Springtime Roll !

Monte doing a Cardigan roll !

Mom's Day Out !

Heddi & Maddie take a break .

Big Ears Kennels Has More Than Cardigans !

 Yo-Yo , a 3 legged cat with his summer do !

 Cassidy waiting his turn in the box !

 The Inspector General !

Dragon dreaming of his racing days !

Of Course We Have Cardigans Too !

 Judy in the whelping room .

Two of Heddi's pups .

Mom's World

 Maddie , up & out of reach of sharp teeth !

Heddi found a quiet corner .

Puppy World

 " Hey my food dish is empty ! "

" Zzzzzz ! "

Good Fences / Good Neighbors !

 New run for mommas .

 Judy will be first Cardigan to test out .

Cardigan eye view .

Hey What's Going On ?

" How dare they starting eating without inviting me ! "

Puppy In A Box !

Maddie's puppy awaits his pen cleaning & breakfast .

Girls Want To Have Fun !

Was 20 degrees with 3 inches of snow on non-tar surfaces . Gates were frozen shut . Water buckets frozen again . Wife refusing to shovel " It's suppose to be Spring ! " she cried . Windchill stung my hands , yet the girls want to go out & play !

What ?

Kate bought the cats their own sleeping mats , so they won't have to fight Dragon for his mats . So why are they crammed together in one mat ? Cats !!!

" I Want To Be Alone ! "

Cats have choice of gang sleeping on one of the Greyhound's mat or alone now !

Setting Up Container Garden .

 Plastic tubs to grow tomatoes in the sunny spot , my driveway . Cardigans can play under tubs too !

Speaking of Cardigans , Ricky was watching construction !

Mini-Greenhouse !

Transplanted started seedlings into window greenhouse . Only used plastic to keep cats from grazing !

The Brooklyn Kid !

Looks like Merlin partied a little too much on his first birthday !

Birthday Boy !

Tonka turned one year old this weekend . This picture was just before the police broke up another loud Cardigan party !

AKC Star !

Yes Meryl earned another title for her new family ; AKC Star Puppy ! Trouble with being a Cardigan breeder , all the puppies are so wonderful you want to keep them all !

Happy Whelp Day !

Erin's a year old today ! Needs a brushing & her booster shot . In 15 years of breeding Cardigans , Erin is my second Black & White with tan points !

Hair Of The Dog !

 Another Sunday morning recovering from a wild Cardigan weekend ! Born to be Mild !

" I can still taste that milk from last night ! " .

More Than One Way To Skin A Cat !

Or in this case , shave a cat . Yo-Yo had a haircut ! His long coat matts so easily , it's easier to have him cut super close twice a year than wrestle him down for grooming . Besides we save on bandaides !

" Mommy ! "

 Heddi still likes being close to her pups .

Maddie rather be on a platform , out of reach but within sight !

Moving Day !

 Moved both litters to roomy pens on porch . Here's Maddie's litter enjoying the heating pad .

Can't believe Heddi squeezed on to the pup's heated pad !

Singing Cardigans !

" That's enough ! Don't you know another tune ? " Two boys .

Heddi's Litter's First Meal !

Yummy !

April Cardigans !

 Had to tack a board across whelp box openning . The openning was to allow swollen moms access but was now allowing growing pups a means of escape !

Things as usual with Heddi's litter .
