Hi! from Frilly and Fancy.     OCTOBER 9, 2021
A lot has changed this week. We are BIG now and get to go outside on nice days and we are learning how to lap goats milk from a saucer. We even get to dine on the terrace. We are 4 weeks old!
They love the grass and exploring a bit. “Fancy” has the pink collar on.

“RUSTY” GETS HIRED FOR A MODELING JOB!

We were recently contacted by a producer from CA that was looking for a Border Terrier to do a photo shoot for Matilda Jane clothing (NY)  Christmas Catalog.  After an interview on the phone, and pictures off our website, we got a call that Rusty was hired!

On Sept. 2nd we arrived at a massive and impressive Island Lodge in northern WI.  Having to ride over to the Lodge on a ferry and being met by the director and producer, we knew we were going to have a Great Day!  The Production Crew of 20+ members consisted of photography, coordinators, lighting, hair and make-up, personnel from the clothing line, models from the Talent Agency, and Rusty!  Dan and I learned so much about what it takes to make everything click and put together a professional Ad.

Below are some pictures of the sets, but the rule was that we could not have our phones out during the actual shoots.  We will get a catalog sometime in November.  Exciting stuff!

Rest in Peace Sweet “Navy” 3/18/2011 – 6/9/2021

I have had a hard time with this, so Navy’s death announcement is overdue.  Dan wrote this note to a couple of his old Navy buddies and I thought it said it all:

Lost a Best Friend

On June 9th we had to put one of our Black Labs down due to a terminal illness.
We kept her in Hospice for several months, doing all we could for her.
She was only 10 years old.
You can tell by her eyes that she was a sweet dog.
Her name was Navy. 
I found this picture today and thought I should share it with you guys.
All the best,
Dan

Number 9 puppy is off goofing around and missed the photo this time.  (Photo taken on Feb. 1st, 2021)

 

Sugar decided that she would start Labor on Weds. December 16th (2 days before her scheduled C-Section.)

So away we went to the Stillwater Veterinary Clinic and we came home with 9 beautiful, healthy yellow lab puppies!  Sugar is doing great and is such a wonderful Mom!

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS FROM RUSHWIND

It was 2 weeks before Christmas, and no one was in the mood.

Mom thought we should do photos, as not to be rude.

 

There’s been no Covid grooming, no nail clipping, or diets.

We’re just as we are, happy little tyrants.

 

“Banks” got to go first, because he’s their SPECIAL BOY.

“Mimi” went next cuz’ they knew she’d keep her eye on the TOY!

 

“Trixie” hated every minute, but tried to be good.

And next came “Journey”, in her postpartum mood.

 

“Thomas”, who is always so photogenic, laid down and did his best.

“Rusty” came last and by golly, he passed the test.

 

At the end, there was no debating;

We had to get a photo of

The Lady in Waiting.

Miss Rushwind “Sugar”
