The “Lucky Litter” is 6 weeks old!

My, how time has just flown 🥺

The puppies ventured to our amazing vet Family Friends Veterinary Hospital and received their first set of shots, health certificates, and microchips! Both puppies are healthy and they were a huge hit amongst the staff.

They got to experience the wonders of the outdoors too 🌾

I will get to enjoy them for a little longer than the normal 8 weeks. Little girl’s family is getting married and will be on their honeymoon and is stuck with me for a bit… and little boy is stuck here forever. 💚

4 weeks old (yesterday)

The puppies got an upgraded living space! They are loving it.

Little boy LOVES the slide and the wobble board. They were introduced to pheasant wings as well and he loved carrying it everywhere.

Little girl loves the new puppy play gym and she is convinced she’s going to tear it down.

3.5 weeks old

In the past week, they’ve been introduced to puppy mush, they have started litter box training (added pellets to the p*e pads yesterday), they are starting to love toys, they have gotten their nails dremeled, and have gotten baths and have been exposed to the force dryer. All of these have been extremely successful!

They are 3 days old and had their first day of ENS and ESI. They are so sweet and gaining every day. I just can’t get enough of these guys.

That’s a wrap! Yellow girl was born at 2:30am and black boy was born at 4:44am on March 8, 2025.

Although a small litter, I’m incredibly grateful for two healthy puppies. Tupelo did fantastic and she is already being an amazing mother.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, and also the fact that she lost her previous litter during pregnancy, I introduce to you — the “Lucky” litter! 💚🍀

SPRING TIME IS COMING ☀️

Which means, it’s “puppy season”.

There’s about to be breedings and litters everywhere you look.

So please if you listen to any advice, listen to the following…

PLEASE GET YOUR DOGS FROM HEALTH TESTED PARENTS.

I am already seeing SO MANY “backyard breedings” with unhealth tested dogs. Vet checked IS NOT THE SAME as health tested. Health testing includes genetic testing, hips, elbows, eyes, cardiac (each breed will vary for required testing). ALWAYS verify the parents' health testing on OFA.org.

Buying a puppy is the cheapest part of your journey, get a breeding that is providing the healthiest pups available. And truly breeding to “better the breed” and not just to “make money”. Supporting a backyard breeders contributes to pet overpopulation.

WSD NC U-CH Fresh Coast Queen Of Honey SPOT-ON TF CGC WC “Tupelo” (CH/MH Jett granddaughter) was bred to CH Hiddensprings Representative Claybar MH “Rep” last month. Puppies are due March 8th. All are spoken for.

I stretched my legs in the show ring this month after almost a year of not showing. I brought Silo along to give some other labs a chance at competition (nobody likes to show labs in UKC 🥺) and he ended up with his final two competition wins and 20 more points! We are just 20 points away from his UKC CH. Here is my recap post from the show:

I took Silo out to play show dog in Indiana this morning.

To my surprise, we took Best Male in both shows! We ultimately lost to a pretty girl in both shows. Thank you judges Tricia Till and Karen Cattin for seeing my boy.

Congratulations Jean Ellen Freeman on getting Reserve Male and thank you for a fun and quick trip to Indiana!

It has been a busy few months! We did something on my dog sport bucket list at the end of October. We not only visited Purina Farms, but we COMPETED at Purina Farms! It was a great weekend of flyball in Missouri and an amazing first experience at Tournament of Champions. Here was my recap post from my personal page after the weekend:

What a crazy fun weekend playing flyball at Purina Farms for Tournament of Champions!

Brooke and I placed 1st in our division on Friday with our pairs team, Double Vision, with Tupelo and Roland! It was Tupe’s first pairs race ever and she did mostly well lol. There were a couple of times she thought a line judge or someone in the crowd was there to pet her (she was convinced).

Due to an unexpected family loss of a few of our team members, Tupe also had to run on a team the rest of the weekend, also for the first time ever. She did great considering it was her first time and Purina is HUGE and very loud. We had so much fun playing the Meet Me in St. Louis tournament as Hair of the Dog Can’t Hold Our Licker team!

Thank you Hair Of The Dog Flyball Club (and Jill!) for all of the support over the weekend. Between missing a few of our teammates and unexpectedly saying goodbye to a team dog on Friday, we managed to pull it together for a successful year at Champs, as Hair of the Dog took 2nd in their division. Until next year, ToC! 🎾🚦🏁
