Avita in 2020

We are now in a golden girl phase with only two twelve year old girls here at home.  I love keeping up with the Avita puppies that have gone on to wonderful lives.  Sadly, some of those lives have run their course as have two of the home girls.

Corky sadly died just a couple of weeks before her sixteenth birthday.  There was not a day in those almost sixteen years that I did not feel grateful to share life with her.

Last year Big Mo died at fifteen and a half and again my heart was broken.

Both Corky and Big Mo took up nosework in their last few years.  They thoroughly enjoyed this newer sport which is tailored made for oldster dogs to keep having fun.

Woot and Prima at twelve are now participating in nosework as well.  We are having a great time and they are enjoying some success as had the older girls.

2013 was one of those years with ups and downs - just like most!

On the happy side, Woot and Big Mo had a lot of fun with agility training.  Big Mo is resuming (at age 10) after a long hiatus from when I was injured.  Woot has just begun this year and is showing lots of promise.

Corky, now 15, continues to shine doing nosework.  She may be retired from many of her sports but you just can't keep an energizer bunny athlete like Corky down.

Momo, now CH Avita Coup de Foudre, completed her bench championship.  All three home girls, Corky, Big Mo and Woot, completed their CGCs - Corky repeating at 14 after passing it at age 1 or w.

On the not so good side, Corky suffered very serious complications from the removal of a minor bump.  She was very ill for some time and was left with a severed achilles tendon.  Fortunately, she is as spunky as ever and is now getting around quite well with a brace that was fabricated just for her.

Late in the year, Eloise, Avita Living Large, surprised us by eloping with her long time whippet boyfriend Rockall and gave us a lovely litter of grandpuppies.

We are looking forward to more fun in 2014.

Time has certainly gotten away from me since I last posted and so much has happened since the last time. Where to start?  I'll begin with the home girls. 

Corky will be 13 in six days and I've enjoyed every one of those years with her.  There has never been a better whippet nor a better friend.  She still has the spark and ran like a yearling at a race practice this weekend.

Big Mo recently completed her Master Courser title and still loves to run.  She is 7 now and enters the veterans stake.

Woot is a clever monkey.  The dremel I use to trim nails went missing recently.   Several days later I found it in the high grass by a fence where Woot stashes her stuff.  She had to have jumped on the counter, rooted through a bowl and then escaped with the dremel.  We are currently in an obedience class where she sometimes pretends not to get it.  Quite a rouse.

That Halloween spirit.....

Corky, Big Mo & Woot have gotten way too far into that autumn spirit.  I had left - far back on the counter - about two thirds of a huge pumpkin pie.  It's diameter was probably 14 inches or so.  Off I went to run some errands.  When I came home the empty pie plate and lid were on the floor, empty.  Errgh!  At least it was pumpkin so it can also treat whatever digestive upset it causes.

I accidentally deleted the home page today while trying to add the third page of the Hampton Hooligans update.   I've recreated it as best I remember but if there is something you were looking for that is no longer there, let me know!

It was quite a weekend - homegoing for five Hooligans

Not so easy for me - the puppies are beginning to go to their new homes.  Thursday the Dude and Cosmo went to their new homes.  Friday was Taser's turn.  Saturday, WootieToo went to join sister Abby from Big Mo's previous litter.  And Sunday BlackBeard went to his new home.
Next will be pictures of them in their new homes but that will have to wait for my return from a judging assignment.


Looks like there was an awful lot of kissing going on.
