Back in the lineup formation for Sunday morning ball. Mimi, Kix, Miss Red, Miss Purple, Prue

C'mon....Throw the Ball!!!

08/18/2023

Mimi sez: "Yes, I already have a ball...but I need you to throw another ball so I can compare the two balls and decide which ball I like better!"

08/17/2023

Getting in some extra early a.m. ball tossing to wear them out a bit before the rains arrive later this morning.

You are never too old for a visit to grammie's house! Thanks for all the laughs and cowdog talk this afternoon Oni, Care, and N!

Ball is life...

08/11/2023

Miss Purple is taking her "being closest to the fence" reputation very seriously today!! 😅🤣😂

08/09/2023

We are looking for a special home for this little blue nugget. She is 6 months old and has been well socialized.
"Miss Red" is bilaterally deaf, verified by BAER testing. This little blue firecracker is a smart little cookie. She is already learning hand signals, returns a tossed ball with gusto, is crate trained, and gets along with other dogs.
Interested parties can send me a dm or email me (kathy at katwala.com) for more information.

I feel like I am in the Upside Down today...Miss Purple up front and striking a pose and Uncle Kix is in the back!

08/03/2023

Lunchtime follies with the girls, Ali (maternal grand dam) and Baker (sire).
Is there any question as to where these pups get their great smiles?
A reminder that the blue puppy (deaf, "Miss Red") and the masked red puppy ("Miss Purple") are still looking for their forever homes. I have a week of vacation to burn and need to take it next week and am more than willing to meet interested parties part way between our home and theirs!

A bonus "Throw the Ball!" photo this morning because Mimi is smelling sooooo goooood (or so says Kix).
Everyone is happy that the temps have been cool for our morning workouts!

Monday morning "Throw the Ball!"
Today with a bonus video of the gang...featuring my inept skills at handling both the chuckit and the camera at the same time 😁

07/26/2023

Early morning lineup....we all need to burn off energy before the heat of the day.
Today is going to be a frozen peanut butter kong kinda day!!

07/19/2023

The puppers are eating their morning kibbles so I went out to toss the ball for Ali and Baker. Ali always nails a perfect stack waiting for the toss. Baker is generally too excited to stand still..."Throw the ball already!!"

07/17/2023

Getting our ya-yas out before afternoon storms hit.
A tired cattle dog is a good cattle dog ❤️

I am in charge of the early afternoon ball time. It is once again Canadian Wildfire smoke air quality warning in our area. I can smell the smoke and my eyes are burning but we have to burn off some cattle dog puppy energy. ~Danny B.

07/16/2023

This rare Sunday morning "Throw the Ball!" photo finds Kix actually smiling for the camera ❤️
Notice Mimi already has a ball but she is still waiting for the throw of another ball...the ball that I have may be "better" than the ball she has! I have yet to figure out how she rates tennis balls 😆🤣

07/15/2023

It's ladies night at the Katwala ballpark.
Grandma Ali is keeping the girls in line and clearly has discombobulated their usual lineup 😆🤣😂

07/13/2023

Prue, Red, Grandma Ali and Purple all have their eyes on the Chuckit while Baker reminds me to "THROW THE BALL!!" 😆🤣

07/05/2023

Getting in a good game of "chase the tennis ball" before the heat of the day!

06/14/2023

This mornings ball-chasing lineup....Purple taking a longer and longer leadoff 😆🤣

06/05/2023

A game of ball without adult supervision...they all (kinda) took turns returning the ball to me 😉

06/03/2023

A game of ball with the girls in the shaded area of the yard. Note that Miss Purple (available) has outsmarted the other pups and her mamma! 😆🤣

05/30/2023

Before and after...play hard, nap hard!

05/24/2023

Crate training...made just a wee bit easier with Blink cameras 😉 ❤️

05/21/2023

**SOLD**
Miss Turquoise is still available to a good home (suitable for show/breeding or pet home). This pup is the snuggler of the bunch. Miss T is mild mannered and relatively calm (you know, for an ACD puppy). She is eager to please and quick to learn.
BAER bilateral and obligate clear for prcdPRA, rcd4, PLL. Full pedigree, health bunch. testing information on sire and dam, contracts, etc. available on our website (katwala.com). Feel free to send me a message or comment if you have questions or want to come for a visit!

Miss Purple is still available to a good home (suitable for show/breeding or pet home). This gal is the wild-child of the bunch. Purple was one of the little-littles in the litter so she had to be a little scrappy to get what she wanted. Her size has equalized with the rest of the girls now but she is still like a little ping-pong ball bouncing to and fro (the blurry photos are a testament to her energy level).
BAER bilateral and obligate clear for prcdPRA, rcd4, PLL. Full pedigree, health testing information on sire and dam, contracts, etc. available on our website (katwala.com). Feel free to send me a message or comment if you have questions or want to come for a visit!

***SOLD***

Miss Orange is still available to a good home (suitable for show/breeding or pet home). Early on she earned the nickname "Dora the Explorer" because she was the 1st out of the whelping box, the first to figure out the flippy door, and the first to figure out most of the puppy puzzle toys. Miss Orange is quite sensible and eager to learn.
BAER bilateral and obligate clear for prcdPRA, rcd4, PLL. Full pedigree, health testing information on sire and dam, contracts, etc. available on our website (katwala.com). Feel free to send me a message or comment if you have questions or want to come for a visit!

The puppy girls have been crate trained one at a time and in VariKennels. Today is the first day they were all crated at the same time.
I am pleased to report that I returned from staff meeting on campus 3.5 hours after this video was taken and all 4 pups were peacefully napping. ❤️

Playing in the back pasture

Miss Pink.

Miss Turquoise (AVAILABLE).

Miss Orange (AVAILABLE). I tried to get video earlier this morning and she was way too focused on being a part of the play down below her. I got decent video this time but she was almost asleep on her feet. Yin and yang 😆🤣😂

Miss Purple (AVAILABLE) also demonstrating her complete and total love of string cheese ❤️

Miss Yellow during her stacking session yesterday. I was going to edit it because she keeps getting worse and worse at holding her stack after I bring out the magical cheese...but decided to leave the whole video intact. If nothing else, students of structure can see how really crappy an otherwise nice dog can look if not stacked properly and focused 😉

Mr. Green has some sassy sideye moments also 😉

Mr. Black with some sassy stacking side eye 😉

I missed the initial interaction with the hanging hollee roller which was Miss Red on the stump gently batting at the ball with her nose and paw. Miss Pink and Miss Turquoise jumped in the fun by the time I grabbed my phone.

Patio puppy play ❤️

A little fun I caught earlier today. Mr. Blue, Miss Red and Miss Orange were playing "king/queen of the stump." I turned around to grab my phone and the game had changed...Red and Orange were playing bitey-face and Blue was sitting there forlorn. The camera finally figures out how to focus through the screen just after 30 seconds....so it is not all a blur.

And yes, I kinda/sorta sung that first sentence to the Folger's coffee jingle tune 😆🤣😂

The pups dining al fresco ❤️

I've had several questions about our puppy setup so I made a quick video (aint technology grand?). If you wait to the end you'll be rewarded with puppy adorableness ❤️
