All the pups are doing fine. Moxie is feeling much better and has migrated to ID with some of her normal food today. She will be staying home while we're going to Colorado but she needs to rest and that much travel in a car is not resting.

Sundance and Max (he's visiting again) will be going with us to the National and both are entered in Carting while Max is entered in Open Dog in Conformation. I have a lot of training to do before they are ready for the Carting Test especially since I will be shooting Futurity that day and Linda will have to show the two biguns. I'm already worried.

Cassidy will be staying with her son, Jasper, 140 lbs. of true love. She'll whip him into shape.

Harry Potter and Marion Louise will be staying with Linda's sister, RoseAnn. They are both very sweet kids and they will enjoy the adventure.

Moxie is scheduled to stay with mom Juneau and brother Ike. IF her belly is healed enough for the utter chaos that will follow. If not, we may take her with us. She'll drive the boys nuts but what the heck. Why make things easy when you can complicate your life beyond comprehension?

As for the rest of Moxie's litter, we've seen them all recently and they are all tremendous lovers. Very people-oriented and very much into being held, touched and cuddled. I have no idea how that happened but I'm delighted it did. Nothing nicer than a really nice, gentle Rottie.
