Today was a very bitter but sweet experience….

I’ve been waiting for just the right family to come along and welcome Ice into their home Maybe I’ve waited too long…….….. But the waiting was worth it!

Thank you Lydia for opening your arms to take in this sweet boy

Ice, I will miss your sweet, happy face at the door every morning…… your constant devotion, our puppy cuddles, your loving obedience. I know you will have a better quality life as an only dog “ child”
You’re in my heart and never forgotten♥️

Cat lost during camping trip treks 900 miles in the right direction

Rayne Beau, a cat belonging the Anguianos, disappeared into the woods during a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Two months later, they got a call from animal control in Roseville, California.

He was only about 200 miles from his home in Salinas.

A woman who saw Rayne wandering the streets fed him and gave him water until she trapped him and took him to the local SPCA.

The next day, the Anguianos drove to Roseville and picked up their cat who had lost 6 pounds.

"I believe truly that he made that trek mostly on his own. His paws were really beat up. Lost 40% of his body weight. Had really low protein levels because of inadequate nutrition. So he was not cared for," Susanne Anguiano said. The couple still doesn't know how their cat got to Roseville but believes he was trying to get home on his own.

UPDATE.: Great news…….. I have an adoptive family ready to make a wonderful home for Ice!

When I envisioned Emma’s first litter in October 2023…… my hopes were high that I could produce just the perfect puppy for others to enjoy. I pictured how these pups would become part of others families and they would fill holes in peoples hearts, bringing sunshine into dark places.
I have loved and cared for each of these puppies. Spending quality time with them and lots of puppy cuddles 🥰
The more time and love I gave the more they gave back….. but there was this one puppy who never left my side. I just knew he would make someone a great service dog or be the perfect companion . He literally followed me everywhere. He would stay at my side as I cleaned the dog run while the others ran off to play This one I named Ice.
At this moment I still have Ice…… I’m not sure why he’s still here. I just know he would be a great blessing to someone…….
He has a great disposition! Super duper sweet! Easy going. I’ve had some ask if he does well with kids. He has been around my grandkids some At an early age he was a bit timid…. But not now. He thinks everyone is his friend 🥰
Today he made his first debut at Lowes & Home Depot. He did great!!!! He got many pats on the head and employees gave doggie treats…which he enjoyed!
There was time for him to be comfortable around other dogs small and large. He met a shopping cart full of kids and thoroughly enjoyed their little hugs 😊
It would be so nice for Ice if he could be adopted into a special family. One that would give him the love and affection he desires. That has the time to spend with him….. daily walks and special town trips.
I will keep this precious boy as long as I need to…..
Having 4 big dogs isn’t fair to Ice that I can’t give him that one on one he deserves.
If you think you would be that special home for Ice please let me know
There is an adoption fee…..
He is able to be registered His parents are
FCI & UKC registered, pedigree, OFA, DNA tested, embarked. Ice has his puppy shots and dewormed. Ready for his rabies vaccination. He’s gonna be a big boy!

Sometimes you have to be patient when placing puppies…..

October 19, 2023 Emma & Polar became the proud parents of 7 beautiful puppies! My excitement to share the beauty of this breed with others was beyond measure!

To my dismay and utter discouragement, my puppies began to grow very quickly and still not one of these babies had been placed. I kept telling myself all was going to be alright. I would continue to wait for just the right homes for my puppies…..wait I did….and wait……

Slowly, the perfect homes started popping up. We still had 2 remaking puppies….Noel & Ice
The longer we wait to rehome them the more resistant to new people & strangers the pups became. No matter my efforts to socialize (especially Noel) the more my hopes began to fall that I would ever find loving homes for them.

Noel, my runty, spunky little girl, whom I bottle fed, was determined that with me was her only home.

Until I got a call from Kim……….

Kim wanted Noel! She had already adopted Winter from the same litter. But I later learned her heart had been drawn to Noel from the beginning. I am very honest and transparent about my dogs/puppies

By this time Noel is over 6 months old. I knew this was going to be a hard transition. I explained to Kim that Noel would not and has never let anyone touch her except me and my family. Whenever anyone tried she would bark and growl. Kim wasn’t moved by any negative thing I had to say. She assured me they wanted Noel……

So we loaded up and headed for Colorado…. a 910 mile trip one-way with Noel n tow. I was so convinced that they would not want her I delayed in filling out the paperwork…. I was sure she’d never let them touch her

It was just after dark when we met Kim & Pat in the motel parking lot. My hubby got out to meet them…. I just sat there waiting for what I was very sure would happen…. Finally, I get out, go around to the back of the truck and I could not believe what I saw!!!!

Kim had already gotten Noel’s me harness on her, Noel was completely at ease and loving the affection Kim was giving her. She NEVER barked, not even once… no growling nothing. Kim then scooped her up and put her in the backseat of their truck and Noel was so happy! Needless to say the tears were streaming down my face as I proclaimed “ I can’t believe it!” I gave Kim a hug and whispered “ this was meant to be”. I told her how she just didn’t know what a confirmation this was to me that Noel was meant to be with Kim. For whatever reason, all I know is I wore my knees out in prayer over it and I stood amazed at how it all worked out in the end!!!!!!

I still have Ice to place in someone’s home…. I can’t wait to see how this will play out.

Wait…… and wait I will…..❤️

This is a photo of Kim and Noel
Kim sends me constant updates with videos of how Noel is doing. Every time I see them together, I stand amazed

Holly has found her new furever home❤️
Thanks Linda for loving my pup! I know she will give you her best.

Ice & Noel still looking for their new homes

With heavy heart I write this…….
As much as I love all of my puppies, I still have 3 remaining that I have not been able to place. They are super sweet, but socialization is a difficult thing when you live way out in the country. So, these 3 are a bit shy. But as soon as they bond with their new family life will be the very best! They will make someone’s home a true blessing!
I am willing to drastically lower the adoption fee for the right home. It not a fair life for them to not get the one on one they truly deserve.
These pups come from quality lines! Both parents are DM clear, OFA, embarked, DNA tested. Pups are vaccinated and some basic training started
Please help me find these babies the perfect home for them

Ice (male)
Holly (female)

Ice had fun time with the big dogs today He had a blast trying to impress mom & dad and Mr. Jacob
He’s such a smart & super sweet boy! At 5 1/2 months….he’s past being ready to bless someone else’s home.

Today was Noel’s turn for a town trip. 🥰

So many sights and sounds. This litter has had little to no fear of sounds or new things, introducing her to strangers is my biggest hurdle right now. At over 5 months old she has not met many strangers.

Noel was such a joy to work with today! Continual compliments on her calm demeanor and beautiful appearance She stayed at my feet all day. Obeyed every command!

Noel will be a joy to someone’s life….….. Ready for her new family today!

29/03/2024

Holly had her second town trip today. Trying to socialized and accustom her to all the sights and sounds of the city life. She’s doing great!❤️. The sweetest girl you could ask for! She will be well rounded and ready to be a faithful companion and provide years of service to her new home.

26/03/2024

Awh….. yet another car trip….today was Holly’s debut. She was the absolute very best!!!! She didn’t even get car sick once!
She’s so super sweet a bit timid But a real lover!
She would make someone an excellent service dog! 🥰
