We have some new residents at Gillyflower! These little cuties hatched last weekend. I love how they are all different colors. It will be interesting to see how they feather out. :) Bristol loves them. He sleeps in the diningroom to keep an eye on them. 🥰

Looks like there will be no Rosie/Maddox pups this summer. Poor Maddox was rejected at every attempt. Not sure why but some females are like that.
If you go to the Gillyflower group page I have shared a post from my friend Jill, who has a litter that are 3 weeks old as of Sunday. The Dam, Tippy, is a pup out of Kizmit and Deacon. The Sire is ES and OTSC. These are the same parents of my lovely Greer.
Please get in touch with her if you are interested. You won't be sorry. :) Pics of parents in the comments.

"Jessie get off my back!" This is how my husband found Jessie when he came to bed. She thinks herself to be by guardcat. 🥰

Remi was introduced to Deena in "dogson" and they did beautifully. It was just as I hoped for. It didn't take Remi long to get tuckered out but after a few weeks he will have run those extra few punds off, with Deena's help fo course. ;)

Alex is coming along very nicely. He is a very good companion while I w**d my flower beds. He can amuse himself while keeping an eye on me. 🥰

Alex went to the Vet today for his second Distemper vaccine. He was so good and loved everyone. He has been house-trained for three weeks now. He is a very quick learner. He weighs 26 pounds. 🥰

Pupdate from Bigsby aka Topper of the 2023 Greer/Maddox Hat litter:
He is now a big brother! His Mom celebrated the birth of her first baby, Biggsby's 1st Birthday and her first Mother's Day!! How exciting! I am so happy for all of them. 🥰😘

05/26/2024

Didn't want to leave out Maddox, Jilly and Deena! They are all such good dogs. 🥰😘

Remi got to go in the big enclosure too! He actually chased a stick two times and brought it back close to me. Hopefully he will enjoy this game of fetch he is learning. He also comes to a whistle when you call him. Took him for a walk around the yeard and his leash manners are improving. 🥰😘

Bristol showing Alex just what to do with the ball! :)

Annie is having a good time with Alex and Bristol. Today she got to go in the big 1/4 acre enclosure. Lots of good smells for sure. Annie, and I, are sending love and healing thoughts to her Mom Susan. 🥰😘

Update of Remi.
-Remi has walked aroud the yard on leash and has gotten better about pulling, still a work in progress
-we have been working od "door dash" and he now knows, for the most part, that it is a no no and that Bristol always goes first
-he is now in the air-conditioned kennel as he took a dislike to Annie: he made a very quick adjustment, especially when he learned he could go in and out whenever he wanted, through the doggie door-- no more barking in the pen! (when he did bark I put him inside and I closed the doggie door)
-he seems to have lost a bit of weight both from playing with Alex and being more active

Overall Remi has been a wonderful boy. I think that by putting him the kennel (on the other side and separated from my other three), both him and they will get used to each other's smell. I hope to have Deena and Remi introduced so Remi will have a playmate more his size. :)

We have another guest at Gillyflower. This is Annie. She is a pup from the 8 21 18 Tree litter of Kizzie and Deacon. Her Mom has broken her hip and so Annie will be visiting for the next three weeks while her Mom recuperates. Annie is a pleasure: she is sweet, biddable, obedient, friendly and happy to play with any dog, or pup, who wants to. She was brought to me by one of Emberlee's Moms. She even brought Emberlee with her too. It was so nice to see Emberlee all grown up. She is a lovely girl. 🥰

So this happened this morning. I tlooks like Alex has won Remi over! They got a lot more rambunctious after I ended this video. LOL It was nice to see Remi engage with a fellow canine! 🥰

Remi had a great night. No whining whatsoever. Still not a fan of Alex but Alex now knows a growl means give me some space. It has been good for Alex to see that he is not the boss. Bristol is way too lenient with the pushy pup.
As you can see by the photos Remi has been kid tested and he loves them. Greeted them very calmly and welcomed all the butt sratches they were willing to provide. They went to play and he wanted to watch. Did that for a bit and then back by my feet. He really wants to go for a good run in our 1/4 acre fenced in field but I want him to get a bit more comfortable here before I allow him that freedom right now. 🥰

So this is Remy. He is from the 10/4 2019 Kizzie/Dash "Traveling" litter. He is now at my home because his Mom is unable to take care of him. He will be looking for a new home after I can evaluate him and reinforce what he has learned in the past.
What I know so far:
-Is great in the car; slept almost all the way back to our house (1.5 hrs)
-Is very gentle after his initial excitement, not a huge jumper
-Knows sit, down and off
-Loves to be with people and gravitates initially to women; he can be won over by a man with a tasty treat ;)
-so far he has exhibited great recall
-crates with no problem
-very little whining last night
-was very barky when put out to p*e, unless I was with him, but today I put him in the barn area where he was able to go into and out of the barn at will and there wasn't any barking
-knows why he is taken outside and does it quickly, will "whistle" when he needs to go out
-has met Bristol my 10 year old boy (neutered) and showed submissive posture, very appropriate
-not crazy about pushy Alex (3 month old pup) and will growl a warning to for Alex to keep a respectful distance
-met Jilly, Maddox and Deena through the cahinlink penand exhibited a submissive posture with them also
-ignores my 3 house cats
-is very happy to lie by me feet, where he is, and has been, for the last 15 mintues
-needs work with leash walking, sometimes pulls strongly sometimes doesn't
-needs to lose about 5+ pounds, I believe he is overweight due to the inability of his previous Mom to be physically able to exercise him
-has beautiful teeth
-is neutered and up todate on his shots
-is a very sweet boy and is looking to please

If anyone is interested in possible giving this handsome fella his "forever" home, and it has to be forever this time, then please let me know and come him meet this mostly polished gem.

I will be posting his progress as the days go by. 🥰😘
