Re: Chelsea is 6 Better late than Never?

Hi Everyone -

Better late than never I hope!  Yanna I did read your post closer than the 
21st of June but it's just been sort of looney around here - HAPPY BELATED 
BIRTHDAY TO BOTH OF YOUR FUZZ BUTTS!  And I actually still have that shirt 
too!
Thanks for tooting your Gina horn while it always makes me blush I also use 
these praises as a benchmark and reminder to try my best to keep my 
standards high.  So I take them as mentorship - thank you Yanna.

Now a few notes from here:

1. Tina, Tony, Twister, Rhea are about to become an even larger 
family!  Yup another blond is soonly  going to join the crazy going on's at 
the Peplowski dog house!   Judy had a puppy returned recently that is going 
to require surgery for HD.  I was just talking with Tina about Brandy and 
well that darn Tina just does not know how to just be a sounding board 
(like a lot of you very golden hearted people).  So once Brandy is all 
fixed up she will be joining Twister and Rhea to help keep Tina & Tony 
extra busy - though Rhea has been doing a real good job of that as of 
late!  Rhea has taken to doing some deck corner rounding...  Anyway - 
Brandy is going to require bilateral surgery so Judy and I are going to 
team up rehabing Brandy in between both of our's late summer / fall litters 
coming....  Stay tuned as I will get a page up for Brandy hopefully 
soon.  Brandy is strongly related to several of your dogs:  She is a 1/2 
sister via Rolex to anyone who has a puppy out of TRiX as well as anyone 
who has a sibling to TRiX as TRiX and Goblin (brandy's mom) are 1/2 sisters 
via Triple their sire - so she is also strongly related to the Moon litter 
as well!

2. Don't ever do this: <evil grin>  tun the other way - don't look back - 
let some other sap sucker rescue one of these!

Oh my wanna talk BUSY?  Copper defines the word with a whole new 
twist!  Two weeks ago at the hunt test where DiTTo picked up her second JH 
leg this little guy was found wandering the grounds no owner was not found 
and still no one has come forward.  My thoughts are that Copper (we named 
him that) was dumped ;-(  But there is a happy ending to this one too!  Via 
placing him on the web and getting the word out a GREAT home has come up 
for Copper in eastern Oregon a hunting home with 40+ acres to run and 
roam.  Monday Copper will be neutered we think he's about 6 to 8 months of 
age and hopefully the following weekend his new family will be driving over 
from Burns to take him home!  I could not be happier with the home we found 
for Copper - this breed is way to busy for me and even DiTTo who we dubbed 
Rocky in Blond can't even keep up with him!  So I won't be sorry to see him 
go but it does at least warm our hearts to say that we can now look to a 
quieter life around here soon! :-)

3. Puppies!!!!  Well we don't know yet but we have bred Lucy and Dinah last 
week.  Here is a page that shows pictures of the sires: 
http://www.briergoldens.com/stud_dogs.htm  and info on the litters.  We 
have a few people on the waiting list but if anyone knows anyone looking 
for a puppy we should have some room on the list.

4. Blueberries:  bushes are fairly full though I think we are going to have 
a later crop this year with the weather being so mild anyone who wants to 
come pick as usual after the 4th of July the bushes are ready to be 
picked!  It would be great to have you guys come out visit and go home with 
full buckets!!!!  Just remember they only last about 3 weeks on the bush 
and the dogs get first choice. :-)

Well that's about it from here minus it's nice to have a weekend off from 
dog shows and or hunt tests!
