ACk! You are correct about Angel!! Hope I haven't insulted either Angel or Max :-)

Oddly, Max looks more like a little Bichon in that haircut, but I'm sure he is smaller and very very cute.

Sea, I suspect that Max has some other breed in him as well. Our late pet, Nipsey, was a Heinz 57 as well, some kind of TerrierX. Pedigree, for us is not a requirement, just don't pee on my floors.

Yeah, show Maltese look like the picture Seamonkey posted. You will probably keep him groomed to look more like his picture now. That is what the one we were around looked like.

We were notified about two hours ago that Gus has a heart murmur. We will not be able to take him. Our breeder does not want us to carry that line further, so we won't be taking Norman either. She is madly searching for another male for us, but we aren't keeping our hopes up. There are only 32 surviving pups this year, in England. Thekid is devastated beyond reason and I am frustrated. And so it goes...

Now, we are taking Norman! Van spoke with four other breeders and they all agree that Delila's heart was NOT (vet confirmed this, also} congenital. The problem with Gus may or may not be, it could be developmental. So, now it's Norman and I think I need a Bailey's! :-) <it's 5:00 somewhere, right?>

Oh for sure, the Maltese as a pet would prefer to have a more practical coif..

Oh Kstme, that's like riding the tornado.. off and on.. I hope Norman is sound as a dollar!! Or sound, anyway..

Going with 'sound' <fingers and toes crossed> Sea! :-) For anyone who was around when we bought Oliver, it's beginning to feel like the same ride! I don't think any of us will be breath easy until he comes off that plane in Cargo/Customs with his tail wagging!

Today, I saw some gorgeous dogs. There was a young boxer, a white German shepard, a dashund, a blue tick hound, a little white shorthair fiesty terrier, a little white long haired ball of fluff that I have no idea what his breed is, a pug, a yellow lab, and some others, too. One of the dogs was a mixed breed medium size short hair and I'm sure he was blind. He was barking at me but not looking at me. All of these pooches were in the neighborhood where my new shop is going to be, and I got to see them along the parade route.

Gracie, WHAT FUN!! What day are you opening? <open, open, open>

News this morning is that we are expecting to have Norman <if you're confused, you're won't be alone:-)> here on or about August 1. PLEASE keep some happy thoughts going strong!

I was at my dh's 2-day soccer tournament yesterday and today. A few people alerted me today that my pup's photo was on the tournament photo website -- here's a link:

I had been throwing the ball for him to catch to keep him busy/occupied while I watched the game. I had no idea anyone had taken his picture.

Wow Yankee! Man, he has some serious air going on there! Imagine if we could jump that many times our body length!

Kstme.. I keep hearing "Norman" and thinking about On Golden Pond and hearing either Katharine Hepburn or Jane Fonda saying "Norman".. though I certainly don't see Henry Fonda as a warm puppy!

Yankee, that's a great shot!

OMGosh, Yankee! Talk about 'Spring Into Action!' He's amazing!!

Sea, Norman was supposed to go to Australia, but the deal fell through. The lady down there wanted him called 'Stormin' Norman. Then Thekid and Van decided to drop the Storming part, although, it would go with our kennel name, Sandstorm Sussex Spaniels. Now, when I think of it, I think of Electric Horseman and Jane Fonda yelling at Robert Redford to slow down, 'NOORRRRMMMMAAAANNNNN' LOL So, it's definitely, Norman! Registered name is Sovaroma's Just Thinkin', but that's another story!

The funny thing is that he does these leaps from a "sit" or "down" position -- NOT a run. I always make him sit before I throw the ball to him (no free lunch and all that). He's definitely ... springy.

And you'll also notice I have him on his leash. Unless it's a desinated "no leash" area, I keep him on. I think it's responsible to do so in the city, and I wish my fellow dog owners around here would follow. I have become quite adept at moving the leash while he does his "tricks" -- and he even knows the command "untangle."

Yankee, Finnegan is something else. I can't believe how high he jumped. That picture will be framed right?!

Hahahaha, that is an adorable Finnegan picture, Yankee. I can see why they put it on their website.

Thats a great picture of Finnegan, Yank!

We are also very insistent on the leash with Harvey. He's not even allowed in the front yard unless he has it (and he's too dang lazy to try to escape, lol.) I wish every pet owner was. We have a neighbor who has a 3 year old poodle. Beautiful dog and fairly well behaved. Twice a day though, they open the front door and let her out front, no fence, no leash, and usually they don't even follow her out. Half hour or so later, after she's wandered through several yards, she goes back home. It drives me insane because we have seen her almost get hit by cars several times and when we mention it to them, all they say is she came home fine. I'm so worried one day she won't.

I'm in total agreement about leashing your dog. My JRT is deaf, so it's an absolute must. He once got away from me and I couldn't catch him. He was heading straight for a busy highway, so I basically turned around and walked the other way. Out of the corner of my eye, I see his shadow behind me, lol. I scooped him up so fast, I don't think he had time to think about escaping again.

Pure bred dogs also get stolen. This is another thing to consider if you let your dog roam free, thinking they will be safe. Just a few weeks ago, my neighbor was searching frantically for her black toy poodle who she had let out. We searched the neighborhood that afternoon to no avail. A few days later, I saw flyers on every post describing her dog. I don't think she ever found her either.
