Mom was coursing in Hanover, PA today and only took Helen, Rupert & GiGi as well as Bosley to be bred to Carina. Helen placed 2nd in the Open Stake of 23 for 3 points so now she only needs her majors and this win puts her up in the AKC Coursing Top 20!!!! Rupert was just out of the placements and GiGi placed 2nd in the Field Champion stake. Bosley didn't run, he only went to be bred to Carina (hopefully Michelle & Carina can expect puppies in November).
Also, Debi Adams took her pup Porter (Heidi x Petey) to his very first show in Saint Helens, OR and he was awarded WD/BOW/BOS for a 3 point major under judge Mr. Dana Cline. We are so excited about this Heidi pup and can't wait to see what else he does. Will post a picture as soon as we receive one.

Poor Little Diddle
The picture says it all - this was taken last night.
Her temp is still down in the 98 degree range (98.5) this morning and she didn't even look at her breakfast. It's a nice quiet rainy day today - all the other Whippies are crashed out around the house so it would be a nice day for whelping if she so chooses :)

Weekend Results
Mom went lure coursing (AKC) up in Leesburg, VA this weekend and here is how it turned out!
Saturday
Open Stake A - 16 dogs
Rupert placed 3rd for 2 LCX points
Quincy placed 4th
Ripley placed 5th (owned and run by George and Michelle)
Open Stake B - 15 dogs
Cuda placed 2nd for 3 LCX points
Helen placed 3rd for 2 FC points and finished her SC title!
Field Champion Stake - 11 dogs
GiGi placed 4th
Veteran Stake - 3 dogs
Murphy won the stake for 1 LCX point
Sunday
Open Stake - 20 dogs
Helen placed 3rd for 2 more FC points!!! She now has 6 points in 5 trials.
Rupert placed 5th
Field Champion Stake - 11 dogs
Bosley placed 2nd for 2 LCX points
GiGi placed 5th
Also, mom got a call from Joanne not to long ago and she went to a Rally trial to work on some titles today! Derby earned the 2nd leg towards his RN (Rally Novice) title, now he only needs one more. Avery earned her first leg towards her RN title her first time out and their momma Kira earned the first leg towards her RA (Rally Advanced) title and placed 3rd while doing so.
Nothing on Dido, except that she is uncomfortable and her temp is going down slightly (and slowly). Today is only her first due date so she could hold on to them for a while, we will see.
I have some new pics to share of Tower & Elle and also some new pics we got of Carina who is Bosley's new lady friend he will get to meet this weekend :) I will post those very soon and mom will get to see Layla and Mya (from the Winnie x Bosley litter) next weekend, I will make sure she takes LOTS of pictures!

Dido update
She's doing well, she tried to nest a bit last night in a quilt on the couch but other than that, no signs. She had a small mucus string this morning which means we are getting closer - possibly tomorrow? No real temperature change, but then we have had some that just don't change, she's eating great as well just moving around a bit slower. Here are some pics I took of her last night, looking pitiful :)
A very special birthday!
A VERY VERY happy birthday to our special girl Daisy - she turns EIGHT years old today! She no longer lives here with us, she keeps Kevin company in their new home with Anita Gersch - we get to see them whenever we want, they don't live that far from where we are.
Anyways, Daisy will always be a special girl here at Shannon Down - her kids that reside here are Bosley and Gali and she has several grandkids here as well - Tinsley, Delite & Francois.
All her kids are (from her first litter), Torin, Cliona, Seamus, Molly, Teagan & Luke (from her second litter) Bosley, Joker, Zoom, Stella, Gunner, DeeDee, Audrey & RIP Glory (from her third litter) Gali & Ticket (and from her last) Cricket
She has many grandkids, several of which will be setting out to do many different things this year and the years to come. I am going to try my best to include them all on here...
From her first litter of grandkids (Bosley x Lilly)
Lana, Abbie, Karma & Sailor
From the Bosley x Raku litter
Dice (who will eventually lure course and maybe show a bit)
Aesa (who will be working on her CGC and may get to do some racing)
Bandit (who will eventually do some racing)
Grace (will be attempting lure coursing & flyball)
Ripper (will be attempting lure coursing & flyball)
Tinsley (will be lure coursing & racing, maybe a bit of showing as well)
Dave (may get to try out some coursing or racing)
From the Bosley x Winnie litter
Ravin (training for flyball now)
Tower (training for flyball now)
Striker (will be coursing & racing)
Layla (will be coursing soon)
Mya (just earned her JC and will be coursing more soon)
Delite (will be racing & coursing)
RIP sweet Georgia - passed away at 6 1/2 weeks
From the Gali x Quincy litter
Spencer (already trying out some lure coursing & showing)
Tommy & Barkley in their companion homes
Wallace (may get to try out some lure coursing)
Francois (will be moving to Holland soon to race)
Elle (living in Poland where he will be showing)
Mercury (will start racing & showing soon)
What a wonderful list of grandkids for our Daisy and I know they all will make her proud - even those who are in companion homes, just living a happy healthy life is more then we can ask for!
Daisy was a wonderful girl when she was here with us and daddy's favorite. She left to keep Kevin company after he went to live with Anita and now they are both very happy couch potatos who enjoy baking in the sun, many treats and TONS of love. I wish there were a thousand homes like Anita, she's been wonderful and I have not worried one day about Kevin and Daisy since they went to live with her - she's been the most wonderful home!
Happy birthday sweet girl!
