Marquis and Bridget head for Wisconsin.

We're off to the Badgerland Specialty show this weekend.  Marquis and Bridget are looking forward to lots of fun and cheese curds.  Marquis will be moving to his new home in California in a couple of weeks so this is one of our last chances to show him before he leaves.  Marquis is the beautiful son of our DJ (CH. Hillwood Diamond Jim) and the spitting image of his dad.  It's a little confusing at our house right now as we have DJ, his mom LJ, sister Bridget and son Marquis.  You have to stop and make sure who you are talking to, they are like 4 peas in the proverbial pod.

Thanks to Roxy Hayes and Marjorie Culp for allowing us to show this beautiful boy.

Sean's new home

Sean, one of Summer's black and tan boys, has found a wonderful home outside of Detroit.  He now lives with his new mom Carol, and big sister Samantha, a beautiful tricolor Cavalier.  Carol had been looking for a companion for Sammie and Sean moved right in like he had always been there.  He didn't really give me a second thought as I left.  Many thanks to Carol, and Roxy Hayes and her extended Cavalier family for finding the perfect home for Sean.

Fantastic new home for Summer

We placed Summer in a super new home yesterday.  Since her show career and motherhood are done, we decided it would be great if we could find the perfect home for her to be queen.  Thanks to Jill, we found just that.  Summer now lives near Flint with Kathy Keeley.  Kathy was Reggie's (Jill's first Corgi) middle mom.  She has been without a tricolor Cavalier for several months and was pleased to get Summer.  Our house is a lot quieter without Summer's exuberant personality but she is where she needs to be.  Vera, Summer's baby girl is missing her mom, but adjusting well.   Many, many thanks to Jill and Kathy for giving Summer the perfect new home.

Claude

 This is Claude, Coverdale Phantom in Black.  He is 14 weeks old and is looking for his new home.  Claude is out of our Hillwood Fade to Black and by Orchard Hill Spoken For.  He is a wonderful little boy, full of love and kisses. 

Great Weekend in Goodells

We went to Goodells for the Toy Specialty and the St. Clair Kennel Club Shows last weekend.  Marv went Best of Breed with Bridget's dad CH. Hillwood Picture This ( PT owned by Juli Bennett), Best of Breed with Bridget's brother Hillwood Diamond in the Rough (Charlie, owned by Juli) and Best of Breed with Jill's Cardie Raglan's Just Keep Swimming (Dory). Juli finished DJ and Bridget's sister Hillwood White Diamonds (Taylor).  It was a wonderful weekend all around.

Cleo went along for socialization and was quite a hit.  She is very outgoing and made lots of friends. 

Cleo and Bows making nice.

Cleo and Bows are becoming friends.  Bows let Cleo know that this is her bed, but she is willing to share it if Cleo behaves.  If Cleo gets too pushy, Bows tears into her, it is really funny to watch.  I don't think Bows realizes that Cleo could probably swallow her whole.
