12 March 2022 The puppies from our winter litters are all well ensconced in their new homes and reports have been coming in, from all across the US and up to Quebec City.  I’ve crossed the Canadian border twice, having had two PCR tests at Copley Hospital – and Sienna and Farouki are two other…

15 November 2021 How many of us live with wildlife?  I would propose that it is many families, if you want to include wandering deer, the occasional skunk and even, black bears.  Black bears have become commonplace in Stowe neighborhoods and it is because of loss of their native habitat.  I remember this past spring,…

28 September 2021 Yes, you’ll see below that these webinars are scheduled for January 2022 – but – this is something worth sharing with you now and you might even like to share this with your own friends. Puppyworks.com in New Paltz, NY is among the best in their presentation of educational events and seminars…

5 September 2021 Well, the sense I get is that the time is nigh to ramp up our safety precautions and I sincerely believe that it’s better to be safe than sorry.  I’m wearing my mask when indoors with people I don’t know and when I work at the wine shop.  Gosh, I look forward…

4 May 2021 This all began a couple of days ago, when I got a notification from Facebook. Sincerely?  I believe that Facebook is a bit of a double edged sword and can be a wretched time sink that leads nowhere, if you get sucked in.  But if you use it specifically to stay in…

18 February 2021 Who knew? I read that the most memorable thing about an Aries Monkey is their ability to entertain through language.  ‘They’ say that an Aries Monkey can ‘talk your ear off’.  Well, I certainly hope that whatever that means, you will be entertained.  ;>) So, to the topic at hand! We’re in…

HAPPY NEW YEAR! BEGONE 2020!   1 January 2021 There is always hope in new beginnings.  Over time, I think we each become a little less dramatic with our New Year’s resolutions.  I, for one, don’t even have any today.  For me, the good that has come out of the last year involves new people…

5 December 2020 There are two schools of thought re: C-sections in the canine world: Once a C-section?  Always a C-section. And then, of course, there is the other school of thought:  But why? My repro vets at Broadview Veterinary Hospital in Dover, NH have advised me personally not to risk rupturing the uterus in…

2 November 2020 Greetings to each and all of you! Life inside my house has been active, these last two months.  Leo x Piccolo puppies are scheduled for their nine week thorough wellness exams and first round of DHPP shots down at Broadview in Dover, NH on Friday.  And then, the exodus begins. Thanks to…

7 September 2020 This is Piccolo’s second litter and I had complete progesterone results to compare from her first litter, as I studied her numbers with the hope of targeting a potential whelping date.  Incredible that I had matching numbers for two cycles with which to work – and I was able to identify the…
