Puppies- DayThree..really its only day 3?

Skyla and her entourage are starting to settle into to a routine.  If there is such a thing..:)  Sky finally feeling a little better after her c-section but trying hard to be a good mom.  Now if she would only take over poop patrol with her puppies...all would be good.

So, in my attempt to document their progress three days post birthday (01-27-11), here are the boys and girls (who did not cooperate at all).  Hopefully I will get better at taking the pictures.

Skyla with her puppies.  She is trying to sleep but some little man think she a pillow.

Missing Brindle boy

This is the little brindle boy that got missed from their big birthday photo shoot.  He is a brown brindle with the thinnest of white collar and little white spot on the back of this head.   He a big one and definitely likes to eat.   Look for more photos later today or tomorrow...whenever I have some energy..:)

Skyla's Puppies!

It has been a big day in Skyla's and my life.  We have had the arrival of her first (and mine too) litter around 9AM on Thursday, 1-27-11.  5 beautiful Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppies in her first litter.  Skyla (Ch Sisterwood Summer Skyla) and the sire (GCH CH Kingsbury's I'm Harry P) have 3 boys (2 brindle, 1 red) and 2 girls (both brindle).  Their arrival wasn't without a little drama.  Skyla attempted to free whelp the puppies but when her water broke at 3:30AM and no puppies by 6:30AM, the vet wanted to see her and we decided a c-section was in order.  Good thing since when the vet got in there, two puppies were trying to come down the birth canal at the same time.  So Skyla has some pretty big puppies-all around a pound a piece.

So the plan is to keep her blog updated with the happenings of her (and my) first litter.   Thank you to Sarah for these wonderful pictures.

New (and very first) Champion

Just got Skyla's Champion picture.  She picked up her last major at the Mid-Del Tinker show on July 1 to complete her championship under Judge Judith Brown.  She was shown beautifully by Sherri Hurst who was nice enough to help us get that last stubborn major we had been looking for.  Sherri made my girl look sooo beautiful.  Skyla is my first show dog, first show Cardigan and now my first champion.  We worked for what seemed like a long time to get this and I am thrilled beyond belief.  Skyla and I learned the dog show thing together and made lots of mistakes along the way but I couldn't ask for a more beautiful, fun, happy Cardi girl to do it with.   I will always remember this moment.  Way to go Skyla girl..:)

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner..:)

Skyla is going to share her blog with her buddy Ozzy since he picked  up 2 more points in Tulsa over Memorial Day weekend.  She was very proud of her little man.   Ozzy (Trinity Rvr O's Boy Busy 'O Sisterwood) is almost 7 months old in this picture and still learning to be a show dog.  He kept thinking that the judge was going to give him a piece of chicken for standing so nicely on the table.  Silly boy...:)

They say its my birthday...

Skyla letting Axl borrow her blog to let everything know its his first birthday today. He had a very good time. He got to celebrate it twice. Once with Pat and Neila, his breeders, on Sunday and then on the real thing on Monday. He got a cool stuff rooster, Three Dog Bakery cake to share and a Sonic burger for dinner. Axl thinks birthdays are very cool and he got to share it with his best Cardi buddies Skyl and Ozzy. All is good in the world...:)

Where are my boys and why are they not playing with ME??

Skyla is taking a little break from showing while she is growing some hair so her and her boys, Axl and Ozzy, decided to enjoy a nice spring day.  Guess the boys did not get the memo that all play was to be centered around Skyla. 

Where are my boys? 

We are hanging out having some boy time.

Much better...now lets play!
