Digit does not appreciate bath time nearly as much as I do 😂 Sorry, buddy, but the dead worm musk had to go!

It's hard work being this spoiled 😂 My get to spend their days being treated like the princes they are, and I get to be the glorified bed that pets them 🤣

Happy 2nd Gotcha Day, Digit! 🧡

It's hard to believe that it's ONLY been two years since we brought you home because it feels like you've always been here.

Here's to the best little bed-hogging, bird-chasing, lap-stealing, Borzoi-harassing sidekick a person could ask for 🧡

The boys getting those early morning romps on before the heat/humidity and those diabolical biting gnats start!

SO looking forward to having cooler weather again!

I have decided to medically retire Zeal from showing. This was not an easy decision to make because he absolutely loves the ring, and I absolutely love showing him, but his advancing heart disease has made me reevaluate my goals with him.

We achieved our goal of his championship, and he was 4th in the Top 10 for breed. And I feel that it's enough. 💜

I will be focusing on achieving Digit's dual championship while I wait for Borzoi #3 to join the family. 😊 As for Sonic and Zeal, we'll be working on their Trick Dog, Rally, and maybe scent work INDOORS and out of this horrid heat.

Digit enjoying a rare break in these Georgia storms. Which has not been easy because it has been storm central lately! ⛈️

We have no events planned until September. Digit should be finishing his UKC championship (he only needs 5 points), and then both him and Zeal will be working on their GCH legs. Hoping to get Digit on the field this fall so we can work on his duel championship 💪

Today has been...a day. 😵‍💫 Sonic was rushed to the vet early this morning due to severe swelling and pain in his testicles and underwent an emergency neuter. The original thought was testicular torsion with how he was presenting upon initial examination. Thankfully that was not the case. Unfortunately, the cause is still unknown, and tissue has been sent off for histopathology. Fingers crossed that we'll have answers!

He is home and resting, and will be on antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for a week before our follow-up. He's already feeling MUCH better, which is such a relief to see.

A HUGE thank you to the incredible veterinary team that took care of my precious boy today! You guys are absolute rockstar, and I am so grateful for everything. 💜

Now that things are getting warmer here in Georgia, we plan to beat the heat with lots of swimming and indoor adventures! Hopefully finally finishing everything we need for some Trick Dog titles 😁 Also considering giving Rally and Scentwork a try!

No shows for us until the UKC Labor Day Cluster this coming September!

The best decision I have ever made was falling in love with this boy 💜

Now that it's spring, it is Shedmageddon! Sonic looks like a dandelion puff in the wind every time he shakes 😅

Impromptu grooming session for Capt. Gross-boy for rolling in dead worm and then rubbing his worm-stank all over me 🤢🪱

Now that we both no longer reek like a bait shop, at least one of us is happy with being clean again...and it ain't Digit 🤣

Spring is definitely here in Georgia! While I am missing the snow, it's hard to deny how beautiful it is now that everything is blooming 🌼🌱

Speaking of spring, the Peach Blossom Cluster is almost here (April 12-16th)! I am still undecided if I'm going to enter anyone...but I am definitely tempted to go just for the shopping 👀
