Pebbles' night on the Town

Pebbles is going to usher in the New Year in style. After a trip to the groomer's today, she is clipped, bathed, and gorgeous! This haircut shows her perfect cocker head - just like mama and daddy. What a beautiful girl!!
Have fun, Pebbles - I know your family will keep you safe - and I wish you all a very safe evening!!

Willow - Always a Steeler Fan!

Yes, Willow is posing in this picture with a member of our rival team - Cleveland. I'm sure she had a chance to show him a picture of her "real team" - Winner of the 2009 Super Bowl - The Pittsburgh Steelers! Cooper is also a Pennsylvania native and a fan! - Sorry Doug & Renee!

Who can forget this picture -?- It says it all!

The Day After - Rest

I couldn't help sharing this photo - a picture tells a thousand words - joy and peace pop into my mind - both things I wish you!

Merry Christmas from Willow and Cooper!

This is our beautiful Willow. She is Mercedes' very first daughter. Charlie (owned by Connie Probst) is her dad. She is all decked out in her darling Santa outfit - how long does she keep the hat on?!?

Now meet Cooper - Cooper is a puppy from Stonebroke Gardens and is Willow's older adopted brother. We've been told they are being very good kids waiting for Santa.

They are the perfect cocker family and are well loved by Doug and Renee. We are truly blessed to have one of our puppies in their home. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from our Rain

This is our beautiful merle girl. Rain. Her personality is quite extraoirdinary! If your ever meet her, you will remember her. Our last trip to the vet for her checkup she sat in the middle of the floor and demanded everyone's attention. She is a striking dog with a striking personality. We hope she has her first litter of pups in 2010.

Santa's Helpers

This picture is a creation by Peggy Bang - she has a rare talent to be able to capture the American Cocker in American settings - Peggy Bang died in 2008, but her works are still available. This is the link if you would like to see more of her works. Enjoy ~

Three of Santa's Reindeer

Zoe Rose (Prancer)
Mercedes (Cupid)

Rain (Blitzen)

Here are some of our girls - ready to step up to the plate - If the Reindeer aren't ready to go with Santa this year, they have their antlers on and are ready to fly!

Rain definately has her serious face on !

Here's our Tree!

Our tree is up, decorated and beautiful! All our cocker kids have been given strict orders to leave the decorations alone. Only time will tell. Every year we lose more decorations - some of them have been treasured ornaments. I have learned from experience to keep our keepsakes up where they cannot reach them. This picture really shows the light reflecting off the wall.

Christmas Secrets

T'is the season for secrets! Here's our Zoe Rose telling Rain a special secret - just to be shared between the girls.
I walk closer to them, and the moment is over - they scramble, look up lovingly to me like the perfect girls that they are!

Pebbles in her first snow

What do you think Pebbles is thinking out in her first snow? It could be 'wow this is great" -or-it could be "hurry up and take my picture -- I want to go back inside!"

I can see why she wanted to get back inside -- safe and sound with dad!
