Travel Update:
We’re still grounded in Springfield this morning due to nationwide flight delays and cancellations caused by the government shutdown’s impact on Air Traffic Control staffing.

Our first flight was cancelled, and we’ve been rebooked for 9:25 AM.

I do have a backup plan in place if needed — rest assured, I’ll get these puppies to their new homes one way or another! It just might but a little… delayed. 🐾✈️

Until then, I’ll be doing what I love. Snuggling these sweet babies! 🩵

Chloe & I are headed to California today to meet her new family!

It is safe to say she is NOT happy and full of attitude to be woke up so early! 😂🩵

Yes, she sat like this and stared at me the ENTIRE drive to the airport.

Quiet mornings (minus Aurora barking at the horse) outside with Reef, Rip, Sunny, Chloe, and Isla! Just a few more days as 5… then a week of 4…

And the final three are still waiting for their people. ❤️

Due to no fault of her own, Sunny Girl is back looking for a forever home!

She was first pick female and by far one of my favorites in every aspect! She has a lot of potential to do well in any home!

She is READY TO GO! ❤️

I have been battling sinuses and have not felt the best, so I’m sorry for the lack of updates! (I’m sure you can hear it in my voice!)

Rip and Reef are still looking for their forever families! They are READY TO GO! 💙🧡

Eight weeks ago, Violet brought 12 little white bears into the world. 🐻🤍
What a ride it’s been since that first tiny cry!

Today, my Beach Bums start heading off to their forever families. My heart is a little heavy, but also so, so full. Each one has found a home where I know they’ll be loved beyond measure — and that’s all I could ever ask for.

These past eight weeks have been filled with chaos, laughter, tiny teeth, endless snuggles, and the sweetest sounds that fill a breeder’s heart. Each pup carries a piece of Violet and a piece of Sancho — some a perfect mix of both.

Watching them grow into happy, bouncy, vocal little souls has been the greatest gift. 🌊🐾
Now it’s time for them to make waves in their new homes — spreading joy, love, and loyalty wherever they go.

💙 From my heart to yours — thank you for loving them next.

And while the goodbyes start this week, Rip and Reef are still searching for their perfect families. Until then, I get to soak up all the extra snuggles, kisses, and love from just the two of them — my little reminder that the best stories aren’t quite finished yet. 🐶💭

Enjoy this throwback from when they were around 12 hours old! 🤍

Finally had time to update the puppy map! 🗺️ It’s always so fun to see how far my pups have traveled — 21 states and counting! ❤️

🐾 Big round of applause for Freddie & his mom, Shelly! 👏

Freddie (aka King Frederick of Prussia) from Tink’s Royal Court earned his AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy title yesterday! 🌟🐶

I am so proud of this duo and all the work they’ve put in together — training, bonding, and showing off just how smart and well-mannered one of Tink’s babies can be!

Freddie nearly snagged his CGC too, but let’s just say he took the “stay” command very seriously… and stayed… even when Mom called. 😂 We’ll chalk that up to enthusiasm and a touch of royal obedience! 👑

Please help me congratulate Shelly and Freddie on this amazing achievement! 💛

✈️🐾 Why I’m My Own Flight Nanny 🐾✈️

Do you know how much stress is added to a puppy when they leave their mama, siblings, and everything they’ve ever known for the very first time?

Now imagine being handed off to a complete stranger, taken somewhere unfamiliar, surrounded by new smells, new sounds, and then—put on an airplane. 🥺

That’s a lot for an 8-week-old baby to handle. 💔

That’s exactly why I am my own flight nanny. My puppies go straight from my arms to their new families.
No middlemen. No extra stress. No unnecessary chaos.

They’ve trusted me since the moment they opened their eyes—and I owe it to them to make sure their next chapter starts with comfort, safety, and love.

💬 Plus, it’s pretty special when you finally get to meet the face behind all those messages and updates!
Because when you get a puppy from Ruffles, Ridges, & Spots, you’re not just bringing home a dog—you’re joining the family. ❤️

This litter alone has flights booked for Las Vegas, Nevada and Palm Springs, California, but I’ve also flown to Norfolk, Virginia • Tampa, Florida • Maine • Los Angeles, California—just to name a few!

🐾 I may be in Missouri, but nowhere is too far for the perfect family.

After all… who better to protect those babies and keep everything spotless and safe until they’re handed off, than the breeder who’s poured her heart and soul into raising them? ✨🐶

Just a few babies who have flown in the past year or so!
