Little Witch and A Birthday Party coming up!

My sister Terry sent me this photo of Little Zinna dressed up for Halloween. Oh what we put our dogs through....



Sadly Zinna will be missed this weekend at Zaz and Itz's 1st Birthday party. This is the first time in over 5 years that I am doing a "birthday party" for one of my litters. We did have a party 5 years ago for Zen and her littermates (Lucky,Bailey, Timmy, Chi and Unique). It was a great party BUT it was exceptionally LOUD! It has taken me 5 years to get up the courage to do it again! haha. But Zaz and Itz are such special little pups to me and I had to celebrate their 1st birthday. So joining Zaz, Itzy, Yaz and Zavvi at their first birthday party will be Zinna's littermates Zeki, Zev and Ziga. Do you think I will be able to keep ANY of those names straight? I will be going zzzzzzzzzzzzz oh whatever!

For those who have asked me about how I used the Manner's Minder for Contacts. I will try and find a video of the pups when I first started them on the plank. Unfortunately it won't show much as I usually just focused the camera on the plank and you cannot see the manners minder as it is much further away. I also turned off the "beep" sound on the manners minder so that it wouldn't turn into another cue for the pup. If I get a chance I will do this tonight or tomorrow but first I have to clean the house to get ready for our guests!

Here is a photo of Zen's 1st Birthday bash. The only missing pup from that litter was Unique who was in Denmark.

Hello !

I wish you you much fun at the party and less work afterwards.
Beautiful photo of the Zen litter how has it taken to get them in this position ?
Very kind of you to search for the video of that training tool.

Best regards !

Did your sister mention that it took every ounce of Zinna's self control not to bite Terry for embarrassing her in front of all her agility friends that day??? She carried Zinna all around Staten Island's agility trial and it's amazing she still has all her fingers left! The look on that little one's face was priceless!!!

Have a great birthday party!!!

Mary-Anne said...

Haha - she doesn't look too amused.

Sorry Zinna - as Raven can tell you, that's the price you pay for being so cute!

(But Raven actually LIKED parading around in her costume!)

Eleanor said...

Yeah, I saw the costume! Absolutely adorable.

Happy 1st Birthday, Pups! I remember a very special first birthday way back in May 1993! Dash threw up the next day, one of the few times in his long life he ever had indigestion. The food was good, but he ate way too much cake! :-)

Great pictures. That is the perfect costume for a tricolor. I LOVE the family photo. How lucky to be able to get (almost) everyone together again.
