The PUPPIES Are HERE!!

::::: Photos To Follow:::::::

Dateline 14tSept 2009 1645 hrs Millcreek Valley Farm

Went into second stage labor and soon after whelped the first of the 6 expected purebred Wheaten Terrier pups! The second came 15 minutes later, a bruiser of a male, easily an ounce or two heaver than the other 5. The remaining pups came in similar fashion in a textbook event. My people helped with drying, asperating, warming, tieing cords and showing each newbe it's own teat for some O' that good first milk.

Got my appitite back for something other that placenta (yuk) in a couple of hours. Had eggs, cheese and Beneful Puppy Chow this morning and all is well! I hope my people got some sleep last night as they were up with me for the last two nights . . . . why I do not know, but ya cant tell them anything.

SO . . . . my website will be updated to reflect the new puppies and their expected adoption date. AKC has to be notified and a package of registration forms ordered. Tails and dew claws this Thursday at North Ogden Vets. So much to do! Oh, and if anyone is interested in Wheaten Terrier puppies, I would love to meet all perspective puppy owners so that we can each feel good about their placement. I would love to show you more here:

Is It Spring Yet?

As much as I LOVE the snow, I am ready for Spring. For one thing, I get to go for more rides in the truck, and also I hear there is a trip to Moab Utah in the works for the end of May to the Moab Arts Festival in the big park there - cut and paste:

Great pet friendly motels and condo's there. Gotta LOVE Red Rock country. The reason we go, other than for ME, is to set up a booth at the festival and sell my people's line of awesome natural soaps, bath salts and beeswax based lotions & lip balms . . . . all handmade in Utah with cool local stuff like salts from the Great Salt Lake. Check it all out here - cut and paste:

But the BIG news is that I am promised to a great stud Wheaten in the big city as soon as I "come in" some time late April. I just know that I will be an awesome mom . . . . I can't wait. Already I have a Wheatens For Sale web site that my peeps made for me - cut and paste:

Pops sez that if we build it, they will come! Puppies in the late spring time . . . . what could be better!

I do kinda miss that dang cat tho. Chasing stuffed toys is not as much fun 'cause my people get tired of tossin' them after a while. Be well!!

HA they SOLD that upitty CAT!

Yeah its my birthday today and I havn't written for some time. Biggest news is that my people went in to the honey, lip balm and soapmaking business. They are Millcreek Valley Farm. Just go to millcreekvalleyfarm.com to take a look. Of course EVERYONE knows wheatens do not shed, but the cat did . . . . lots!! So not wanting that dang cat's fur in the honey they sold her. Nice family just down I-15 actually PAID $50.00 bucks for it. Soooooo I am queen of the house now, and have only my toys to run with.

I will be having pups next time in season . . . . ought to be in Sept. THAT will be a new experience. Millcreek Valley Farm Wheatens is soon to be "out there!"

I love road trips! Since last entry, I have been to the Grand Canyon, Moab and just up camping close by. Life is good . . . I look and feel great . . . . all is well!

The Teenage Months

Well, I got through Christmas without getting into too much trouble. Lots of snow here in the Rocky Mountain West and I LOVE it. I was 6 months old on Jan 7th (ummm 3 and a half wheaten terrier years) so my peeps took me for a clip. I like it ok, but they were a tad dismayed. It seems that Pet Co in these parts thinks Wheatens are same as schnauzers . . . . close but NO bone!! Like I said, I like it fine and it will grow out.

Then it was time for a formal sitting in pop's Studio. So what do you think?? Not a bad portrait at all. Also, the home owners here are trusting me out of the wire crate at night now. I sleep on the bed the whole night through! I am getting an awesome diet now . . . one that I really dig! Pop adds a half can of Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance chicken formula with fresh carrots, brown rice and fresh potatoes to a cup of Sensible Choice puppy kibble and serves it all mixed up. My belly and back end really love it!! I am at 22 pounds now on the way to 35. Life is good!! Can't wait 'till spring tho . . . . I am told that wild mallard ducks come back to the Mill Creek in April. Way cool!!

Dog gone Cat!!

My peeps came with a housecat. That is ok with me, because she is Irish also. Molly is her name and she has no front claws. Pops sez thats because of his soft leather lazy chair . . . that darned cat loved to sharpen her claws on it. It is also good for me that Molly is unable to shred my nose 'cause I am pretty much in her face whenever I can corner her. Oh, she will box my ears some with those roundhouse right hooks, but I stand my ground until Molly escapes to the hutch or a table.

Here is the thing . . . . when I am home alone in my wire condo, Molly will jump up on top of it and just stare down at me. I think she is taunting me. When Mom and Pop come home, she jumps down all innocent like and starts sucking up to them. I saw her get a bath once tho . . . . now THAT was funny!!
