Puppies are here!!!! Oodles and oodles of them! Jr's Prelude had 8 Swahili Eile* pups born on Wednesday. Dance of Dreams had 8 Maryville Rumble* pups born on Friday and Dolly Madison had 6 Maryville Rumble* pups born on Saturday. All born whilst I was away....of course! Congrats to Henry Howe on his two Rumble litters. Chris and Jaime Stivers own one of the Eile pups as well as webmaster, Brian Carpenter! Congrats to then on their new hopefuls.

Packerbacker won at Orange Park for Henry Howe and I this weekend and Danica Driver ran 3rd in her first B grade race. She behaved herself this time!

I had a nice time with Linda Russi this weekend and we had fun working for Tim Cahill at the Meet. Linda got to experience more behind the scenes and I think she really enjoyed learning. Although Saturday brought chilly temps and wind gusts we still had fun catching pups for Tim. Thanks to Bob Crossland for that hot chocolate!

There was a Rumble pup in a main stake that went to the lead and was caught at the wire. But...it was caught by a pup that was purchased 2 days prior for $27,000 and considered to be the prize of the meet. So I was extremely pleased with what the 3 Rumble pups did at the Meet. All made the final day and made good showings. None were offered for sale. The next Meet should be chock full of Rumble pups.

Hometown Boy was not brought up this weekend. The hauler had some mechanical issues and hopes to have him here mid-week. Thanks to everyone who has already enquired about him. I have several people confirmed to breed to him.
