Luminary Thoughts

as you can see, the new blog is not yet up and running but finally got a new internet connection after a terrible time with hughes.net sattelite.  Mark, who does my website/blog, had to  go on vacation too!!!!  scuba diving at some exotic islands – he and Jody deserve it.  So, when he is back, he promises to get us up with new, better software that will let me post videos!!!!!!!!! In the meantime, I’m posting anyway to keep everyone up to date with happenings here.  PJ is pregnant with puppies sired by Dino.  PJ stands for Peri Jr. – reall, full name is Luminary August Peridot but she looks to much like her momma Peri (and her grandmother Lulu, sigh) that I called her Peri Jr and PJ stuck.  She is so beautiful – a lovely mix of momma and her sire, Marco. She is ice white when clean – lol with very dark black pigment.  She is the one, you may recall that I had tons of show coat grown and was ready to send her off to get her championship but got bitten by a copperhead on the foot so severaly that she was very traumatized…look at that picture, still makes me cringe.      She became rather fearful after that and even though with lots of work we got her much better, I was worried that she would be afraid every time a judge approached her and would be re-traumatized so I cut her down, kept her home.  She was two last august.   And the daddy of her babies, CH Luminary Xtreme Dynamite (Dino) is gorgeous too.  He finished as a puppy. Then went to live in Chicago with friends..  We shipped semen to make these babies and the sonogram found three.  Small litter, but I’ll take them!!! This is his second litter but the first I get to see and it is PJ’s first.  And I am leaving for Texas for a few days to see my sister, leaving my dogs in good hands of my sister and vet tech.  Home a week prior to these girls’ due dates (I hope!!!).  Still playing with the Velvet/Spencer puppies I’ve kept to show – keepimg me busy for sure as they grow…
