And Now for Some Still Photos
I am so loving these little guys. If ever there was something to take the pain out of this pandemic, it is a puppy! How lucky am I to have 5…at least for 8 short weeks!

Finally had a spare minute to edit some photos:

6 year old grandson Ben giving pups their first solid meal.

The Milk Bar

A gaggle of puppies! My how they have grown. Top puppy is Patsy, 1 o’clock is Johnny, across the middle is Jimmie, at the bottom is Hank and at 9 o’clock is Tammy.

Cute puppy butts.

Ben with Patsy, Tammy and Hank

Tammy and Patsy like to hang together.

And the boys … Jimmie, Johnny and Hank on the bottom.





Here they are lined up at the “milk bar”.!

And now they sleep.
So we are calling them the Country Legends litter because, in between these pups’ arrivals last Friday night, I watched the PBS special on the history of Country Music. Great show, by the way.
So on the top right photo we have Hank (Williams) at 2 o’clock. At 3 o’clock we have Patsy (Cline). At 7 o’clock we have Tammy (Wynette). At 9 o’clock we have Johnny (Cash) and at 11 o’clock we have Jimmie (Rogers).

Just wanted you to see how their little noses, at 1 week, are already darkening!


Tango whelped 5 beautiful puppies last night. We have 2 girls and 3 boys. My boy Tiger, now loved and owned by my friend Pat Crane, is the sire. All are doing well and, as you can see, Tango is a very proud Mama!!

The cream (6 o’clock) and the red sable (1 o’clock) are the girls. The three sable/white pups are boys.


This is Tiger the day he got his Championship with his handler, Darius McPhall. He comes from a long line of champions on both his sire’s and his dam’s sides.

This is Tango with her handler, Christy Collins, the day she won her championship. Tango went on to win her Grand Championship just 6 weeks later!
