Northern Lights BRTs

06/17/2024

Took the young ones to the CdA dog show over Memorial day weekend. Didn't place but very proud of how well behaved they were, willing to interact with other strangers, not fearful, very forward.

Katerina has been bred, to CH Naissur's Hit Me Like A Hurricane (Harvey) - on March 20. Now we wait to April 28 to see the ultrasound....

Did the ultrasound today 23rd, no puppies showing at 4+ weeks. Very unfortunate considering how easily Kat took her last two pregnancies. Sorry folks, no litter coming this year it appears .

Finally, a somewhat clean puppy and a few minutes! Petrushka last night. Sprouting like a typical kid, all legs.

Should have posted this last month, need to get new photos soon; our Petrushka on July 07. She is the last of Kat's March litter.

I not only remember, but for a while I "assisted" my brother when he was the only one at the "gas station" by pumping the gas for the customers (he paid me in sodas and moon-pies)

I do strongly feel that men should NOT compete in women's sports, but I super applaud women who go up against men in sports.

“When she applied to run in the Boston Marathon in 1966 they rejected her saying: “Women are not physiologically able to run a marathon, and we can’t take the liability.”
Then exactly 50 years ago today, on the day of the marathon, Bobbi Gibb hid in the bushes and waited for the race to begin. When about half of the runners had gone past she jumped in.
She wore her brother’s Bermuda shorts, a pair of boy’s sneakers, a bathing suit, and a sweatshirt. As she took off into the swarm of runners, Gibb started to feel overheated, but she didn’t remove her hoodie. “I knew if they saw me, they were going to try to stop me,” she said. “I even thought I might be arrested.”
It didn’t take long for male runners in Gibb’s vicinity to realize that she was not another man. Gibb expected them to shoulder her off the road, or call out to the police. Instead, the other runners told her that if anyone tried to interfere with her race, they would put a stop to it. Finally feeling secure and assured, Gibb took off her sweatshirt.
As soon as it became clear that there was a woman running in the marathon, the crowd erupted—not with anger or righteousness, but with pure joy, she recalled. Men cheered. Women cried.😥
By the time she reached Wellesley College, the news of her run had spread, and the female students were waiting for her, jumping and screaming. The governor of Massachusetts met her at the finish line and shook her hand. The first woman to ever run the marathon had finished in the top third.😀👍

There was one outside the Safeway store I would walk to as a child (it was about 1 1/2 to 2 miles from my home) when maybe 4 or 5. I would save my allowance and "chore money" (pulling weeds, cleaning living room, etc.) so I could ride it. Did that until I found a pasture full of REAL horses I could sneak rides on.

Actor, film director, film producer and musician Keanu Charles Reeves (Keanu Charles Reeves), missed the first 20 minutes of the party dedicated to the end of filming of his new film in one of the clubs in New York.

He waited patiently in the rain to be let in.

No one recognized him.

The club owner said: "I didn't even know Keanu was standing in the rain waiting to be let in - he didn't say anything to anyone."

"He travels by public transport".

"He easily communicates with homeless people on the street and helps them".

- He is only 56 years old (September 2, 1964)
- He can just eat a hot dog in the park, sitting between ordinary people.

- After filming one of the "Matrix", he gave all the stuntmen a new motorcycle - in recognition of their skill.

- He gave up most of the fee for the salaries of costume designers and computer scientists who draw special effects in "The Matrix" - decided that their share of participation in the budget of the film was underestimated.

- He reduced his fee in the film The Devil's Advocate" to have enough money to invite Al Pacino.

- Almost at the same time his best friend died; his girlfriend lost a child and soon died in a car accident, and his sister fell ill with leukemia.

Keanu did not break: he donated $ 5 million to the clinic that treated his sister, refused to shoot (to be with her), and created the Leukemia Foundation, donating significant sums from each fee for the film.

YES! If you don't value your dog (or cat or whatever pet you have) enough to move them with you, you should not have gotten that bundle of love in the first place!

Say it loud for the folks in the back ! 😂

had to download the video separately

06/02/2023

Sorry no updates recently, have been very busy with puppies, new owners, and regular chores. BUT got these: the video is of what happens when I ask the puppies if they need to "go potty", please excuse my fat ass. The picture is of the aftermath exhaustion after the puppies waged war on the we**ee pad (it put up one good fight).

And the following rant is why I have stopped listening in to the BRTCA monthly meetings, the disconnect with reality and the self-serving attitude instead of concern for the breed and club is heart wrenching.

I so love it when an applicant for a puppy (who applied, seemed great and paid a deposit back in early March, before the litter was born) does not respond to you for some length of time and then finally, after you call them, inform you that they cannot proceed with getting their puppy after all. Would have been nice to know a good month ago. SO: "Brown Collar Boy" is now available again.

It's a miracle! We had a few spare minutes and somewhat clean puppies! Photo time.

Vet appointment for all 12 puppies today. First vaccinations, worming, health check and microchip. Took 4 of us, husband Brian, Vet, Vet assistant and me. Took 2 rolling carts to get them from car into clinic and then into room.

05/08/2023

So today was a busy day, bathed all 12 (again! using baby shampoo) while Brian tore apart the whelping pen, laid mats over rest of floor in whelping room, put up play gym. Then we put CLEAN puppies back into whelping room and scrubbed down the whelping pen. It hit us that last litter, we barely got 8 puppies in the rolling wagon to take to Vet for 6-week vaccinations, microchip, so we had ordered a second one and it was ready for pickup, in Sandpoint, an hour away. Did that also. And the puppies think THEY are "pooped"????

Kilroy was here - and he brought his friends!

05/05/2023

12 puppies can get each other dirty quick. So they got another bath today. SO exhausting!

05/03/2023

Out of the shipping crate! The dog grooming room in the new barn is ready to rock and roll, so today my Flying Pig dog wash made it into the room, out of crate and put together! Plumber comes in a few days, then I will be ready to wash some dogs! No more bending over a bathtub!

04/30/2023

And a short clip of puppies feeling grass for the first time. The barking is their Mom wondering why she is NOT in the yard with them.

04/29/2023

Puppies got their first bath, blow-dry and nail trim today. Then another first: since sunny and warm here, got to go outside for a short time!

We have puppies! Kat decided to whelp a little early, we see why: 12 pups! I'll double check once more awake, but it appears to be 8 girls and 4 boys.

03/24/2023

x-ray done, looks like 9-10 puppies to whelp!

03/02/2023

Confirmed: Katerina is pregnant! Due around April ?10?

Maeve's owners sent an updated photo from this month. Hard to believe now a year old. But still growing to go!
