August 2008

What happened to July?  Who says time doesn't fly?
July 30th we welcomed a lovely litter of 3 black boys from Miss Imp and Hawkeye.  They are growing by leaps and bounds.  This litter was bred for St Francis and all 3 boys will be going there about the time they are 7 weeks old.  See the Puppy Blog 2008 page to follow their progress.

Congratulations to Martin on 3 more youngsters earning their OFA Good and OFEL Normal scores.  Hip-Hip-Horray !!! (pun pun pun, ha ha).  We are so thrilled that 100% of Martin's tested offspring have scored OFA Good and OFEL Normal.  That's a great record.  Way to go Martin !  The 3 new health clearance holders are: GRCH Pacesetter's Smooth Movin', known as Grace; GRCH Solace's New League, known as Major; and Solace's More Than A Feeling, known as Joy.  Thanks to Stephanie Leddon and Sherry Bradley for sharing these results with us, and for bringing the dam, UCH Pacesetter's Golden Solace, CGC, ROM to Martin.  YEAH !

June is Birthday month here at YNDA. 

June 15th is the 9th birthday for June, Irene, Sophie, Chatham, Jay, and Nick.  Many happy returns of the day to this group of wonderful labradors!  What a joy to wish them all well on their 9th birthday!  Thank you to their owners for giving them such great and healthy lives.

June 24th is the 7th birthday for Anna, Bella, DJango, Hawkeye, Maggie (in NC), and Tango.  What smiles and love these dogs have brought to all their owners, and we feel so honored to have 2 of them here with us -- beloved Hawkeye and darling Anna!  'Seven' is the age at which Labradors officially become 'veteran' dogs in terms of age.  Hawkeye celebrated by siring puppies for Miss Imp... Thanks Hawkeye!  Thanks also to the owners of these great dogs -- David & Chris of Bella, John with DJango, Bennie & Denise with Maggie, and Jeannette and Jim with Tango.  This has been a special special litter for us all.

Great-Grandmother June had her latest round of evaluations this week, and she continues to do well, so well in fact, that only 1 liver enzyme is now outside the normal range.  She looks great and acts like her old self.  In fact, she is more affectionate and wags her tail even more than she ever did.  What a miracle her recovery is.    What a joy to have her with us !

September is 'birthday' month here at Ynda.  Ella/Jeannie/Dreamer/Ian turn 4 years old on the 2nd.  St John and Imp turn 5 years old on the 4th.  Melody/Cooper/Maggie/Martha turn 3 years old on the 21st.  That's a lot of meatloaf-doggie-birthday-cakes to make.  But we dearly enjoy each September with its milestones.  In addition, we will be adding the pupsicles birthday in September.  More meatloaf-cakes.

We like to take birthday photos of the dogs, so you will begin to see those birthday shots sprinkled throughout the site.
