Spring is here!  Time to get busy and start training Heike and Ana.  I have been slacking off with them. I haven’t even taken pictures of my two little beauties, both are getting nicer everyday, and surprisingly both have grown into those giant ears they had.  I was so use to their ears that now they almost seem too small.

In the middle of the last snowstorm in Northern Germany I just had to go visit.  The purpose of the trip was to collect Kayla from her stay with Margaret where she earned her: BH, AD, KKL, SchH1, and scH2 titles.   The day after I left for my whirlwind trip to Deutschland, Maika came into season.  Five days after coming home with Kayla, Kayla comes into season and another 5 days later,  Kira decides to join the party,  also coming in season.  All making it very unlikely for me to pull off breeding to a dog in Germany.  Fortunately, I have several hunky males lined-up for the girls Stateside!  Both Maika and Kira had started to cycle in January and both stopped, having what is called a split season. From my conversations with other breeders this was a very common occurrence this year.  I am happy they are finally getting on with it!

What has Margot been up to???

Woman, 53, Uses Martial Arts To Nab Alleged Burglar

LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla. — A Lighthouse Point woman used her skills in martial arts to tackle an alleged burglar after she chased him six blocks.
Margot Foster, 53, arrived home at 2600 block of Northeast Court Friday around 10 a.m. and found a man identified as Gregory St. Germain, 24, ransacking her house, police said. She was able to tackle the suspect outside of her home, but police said he was able to get free. The marathon runner and black belt in martial arts then chased St. Germain for six or seven blocks until she caught up with him and held him until police arrived, according to patrol Sgt. Alan Nestor of the Lighthouse Point police.Police said they believe St. Germain, of Miami Gardens, is responsible for a number of burglaries in Lighthouse Point neighborhoods.  He was charged with burglary, battery, possession of stolen property and grand theft and was being held in the Broward County Jail, police said. How will he posibly be able to she his face in the miami /dade county jail after this. he should be so embarassed by this. a 24 year old gets taken down by a 53 year old woman, for shame.

While I can picture Margot iin this scenario, this is really what she has been up to:

Geez, Julie, after 2 years and moving from Florida to Michigan, I thought I had left my heroic past behind. By the way, the numbers of my age have been transposed.
You certainly are going to have a busy, fertile Spring! Although Garbo has already come into heat, Gracie has not. I am theorizing that the Florida heat and sun must age, er, mature, living creatures earlier. What do you think about that, Carole?

Must be the females all had the same idea….Bailey has been in season as well…..

Way to go Margot! I love the picture of Gracie with “platypus lips”…..wish my camera was fast enough to get those shots….or maybe its the operator?!? The pots were lovely as well…they remind me of rustic North Carolina “salt” pottery.

Margot, reporting is just not as accurate as it use to be, yes Margot’s age, as reported, is transposed.

Yes, that is EXACTLY what happened to me. I am only 25 and look older than Julie! 😉

Margot, if you can chase a bad guy for six or seven blocks, I am hiring you to handle my dogs. How are you at riding a bike for 12 miles?

Thanks, everyone, for all the much appreciated lovely comments. Not a problem, Carole, about 12 mile biking. Just remember, I am married to the farm so it will have to be mountain biking right here. The trails are cut and ready.

OK, if the killer bees are after me, they won’t give up at 12 miles, so I guess I could be biking around the farm for a long, long time!! @Carole
