Embroidery

2009-05-28T20:17:00.001-05:00

Just wanted to show some embroidery we have done lately...

Four weeks early

2009-05-16T20:48:00.002-05:00

Next foal was expected to June 12:th but today when we came home Charisma had already delivered!!!

This is Covergirl DW. A little filly. This is Charismas fourth foal but first filly and we are so happy right now!!! Also a little bit chocked since it was so early. This is also the first time out of 19 foals that it comes before due! But luckely everything has gone well and both the mare and the foal seems to be doing great!

Next foalingdate should be June 22:nd...

FOAL - Acriz DW

2009-05-13T21:36:00.002-05:00

Two blogs on the same day... that is unusual for this blog. But there is a good reason for it today. At 3 pm Aisha gave birth to her fifth filly!!!

It was 6 days over due but she looks healthy and fine. It was really warm outside today, 88 degrees so she was a little bit slow to come up

But after a while and some help she was up on her long legs and then everything went just perfect.

She ate as she should and seemed to be in good shape :)

So the whole family was gathered together. Mother Aisha (grey), Filly Acriz DW (newborn) and Always Dallas DW (darkbrown)

Congratulations to Stina Stiberg who won Aishas Challengeprize 2009. She guessed that it was going to be born today and it was going to be a filly. Noone guessed right on the color, grey - born chestnut... but that was a tough one!

Now three out of five foals has come, all of them girls :) Girlpower to the farm!

Dalmatian pictures

2009-05-13T12:39:00.005-05:00

I was lucky enough to have the camera close the other day when the puppies were out...

No foal yet... she is now over due for a week... but we are waiting...

The road collapsed

2009-05-09T14:33:00.003-05:00

It is kind of old news since this happened last Sunday. It was a huge thunderstorm during the night between Saturday and Sunday and at 7 am Sunday morning something was shaking the whole house. It was like an earthquake... After almost 1½ hours the firedepartment came but it was only one car and one truck and that is strange... now we know why...

From what we heard a car drove down in this big whole on Sunday morning but no one got injured!!! This is on the backside of our farm so we are not affected by it. But now we know why it has been so much less traffic outside our house during the past week :) And that we enjoy :)

Facelift

2009-05-08T20:52:00.002-05:00

As you may see the blog got a little facelift today! I thought this background was very suitable since we have horses and dalmatians (the spots...)

No foal yet... but we are waiting... :)

Co-Co's heat is over for this time *jippieee*. She is back with the other dogs again and that is wonderful. I think she likes it as well!

The registrationpapers for the Money-litter is on it's way from AKC now. Everything is sent in and they confirmed that they got all the papers so as soon as we get them we will send them out to the new owners!

There is still one puppy left from the Opera-Litter. It is a red female cocker. If you are interested please contact pia at saintcox@gmail.com.

Tornadostorm

2009-05-03T17:39:00.002-05:00

We are allright after the tornadostorm that came last night. We had guests in our house that we had to put to safety together with all the dogs but everything went just fine! No injurys on any animals or buildings :) But our pond got a lot bigger...

Visitors

2009-05-01T16:14:00.002-05:00

I don't think so many people have lived on this farm ever! 13 people from Sweden came yesterday and they will stay until Sunday! They are from Lonestar Conference Center in Höör, Sweden (http://www.lonestar.se/) and they are traveling around in Texas for a couple of weeks.

They are out during the days... today they are trying some barrelracing! They will also be attending the party that we'll have here tomorrow!

Without Computer

2009-04-29T11:38:00.004-05:00

I have been without a computer for a while so I haven't been able to update the blog as I wanted... But here we are again!

The Cockerpuppies are doing great. There is one red female for sale still. If you are interested please contact Pia at saintcox@gmail.com. She can send you pictures up to date :) Two of the sables will stay and one red female already left. The last one, the Sable boy will leave in the weekend.

Japps ear recovered perfect. He had to be hospitalized for almost another week since he was to happy here at home but that was really good for him. His ear healed perfect and you can't tell that there was an accident by looking at it today! Once again thanks to Van Zandt Animal Care Clinic for all there effort and good work!

All horses and dogs are right now doing great. We got a new foal in Sweden. A Royal BW gave birth to a bay filly on April 27:th. She will be named Amaria DW to honour Maria Berg who owns Royal. Thank you Maria for letting us have a foal with Royal and thanks for all the work you put down! Hopefully Amaria DW will move over to the US in the fall together with her sister Amber BW.

Sugarsmile DW is also doing great. She is out on the pastures and playing and waiting for a friend. Next due is May 6:th...

Sugarsmile DW & Amaria DW

The Embroideryshop will open on Monday 4:th. The openinghours will be from 9 am - 4 pm. You are more than welcome to visit us!

We are also changing the website... the look will be the same but you will find it at www.daimilus.com. When we now have the computer where they should be we have more possibility to update the homepage more frequently.

Japps recovering

2009-03-25T19:11:00.002-05:00

Japp is now home. He has been home for three days and already unwrapped his bandaid once so we had to go back to the hospital once and fix it. We will go back to the hospital tomorrow and on Saturday to put new bandage on him. But other than that he is doing great.

We also got the mobilehome for me :) Hopefully I will be able to move in to it in the end of next week! The water and electricity is almost hooked up so it isn't that much left to do :)

We had a horrible weather today with really dark clouds...

The horses were really wet when I took them in this afternoon. But the rain has passed now and when I am writing this the sun actually gets through...

I will try to take some pictures of the cocker spaniel puppies! They are doing great. They are really big! The filly, Sugarsmile DW is also doing really good! It has been so much work lately so I haven't got the time to take so many pictures as I wanted too!

Take care!

Japp still at hospital

2009-03-19T17:06:00.003-05:00

Japp is still at the Van Zandt Animal Clinic and he will stay there until Monday. He needs a lot of rest and his bandage on his head needs to be there until Monday. That makes it easier for both us and Japp. I went over and visited him and he is doing pretty good. When I entered the clinic I was wearing a pair of bunny ears sympathizing to my dog. They had a good laugh at me :) Japp thought I just was embarising both him and me... :) I hope that I can go and visit him tomorrow again...

Japp injured

2009-03-18T20:51:00.002-05:00

To have many dogs together as we do right now is a challenge. How or why it happened is questions we probably never get the answer on but in some way any of the dogs got hold of Japps ear and sliced it in three. Luckely both me and mum were close when it happened so Japp came to the hospital very fast. It didn't take long until he was sleeping and on the emergencytable at Van Zandt Animal Clinic.

I would like to say thank you to Dr. Wingo and all his staff at the clinic today for everything! You were fantastic!!!! I screamed in someones ear (turned out to be Vicky's) when it happened and actually gave them ten minutes notice that I was coming and prepare surgery and when I got there after ten minutes everything was prepared for us! Thank you for taking so good care of Japp!!!!

We decided that Japp will stay until tomorrow due to that we have so many animals and the possibility for Japp to have some stronger medication at the hospital.
The surgery went well and Japp will come home tomorrow with a lot of stitches in his ear. I promise to show you some pictures tomorrow!!!

Sugarsmile DW & Bisquit

SHE IS HERE!!!!Sugarsmile DW

Roosevelt - Briar - Vaugely Noble xx

-----------------------------

Daimilus Bisquit Boy left for his new family in California yesterday and the trip went fine. We wish him good luck in the future and hope that we will see him when he and his family moves back to Texas in the summer '09.

Rain, rain and rain

2009-03-13T16:48:00.002-05:00

We now have our third day of raining... but we shouldn't complain - we really need the rain! For me who is here for my first year it is pretty fun to se what the rain does to nature here. It becomes green so much faster than I am used to. Just after this three days of raining you could see a difference! But for us who have animals life is not easier when it rains.

Who wants to be outdoors when it looks like this????

The puppies came out for about half an hour earlier today...

Dumle, the new boy from Sweden, is exploring the Texas nature...

Bisquit who is born here already knows that it is wet so he turns around...

The puppies was indoors playing for a couple of hours today...

Bounty and Crispy is playing with a toy.

Dumle is watching carefully so no one takes his toy...

Daimilus Bounty Girl

Finally I want to show you what I see every morning when I wake up... Co-Co is always on top of my stomach... happy it's not Japp because he is so heavy!!!

Balloon and Dumle

2009-03-12T16:36:00.004-05:00

Time is running so fast!!! I can't belive that the Opera Litter already is one week old!!!

Daimilus Bubble Balloon left for his new home in Folsom, LA yesterday. I got an email from the new owner and he seems to be alright and they are very happy to their new friend

After I left Balloon at the American Airlines I headed over tu Lufthansa Cargo and waited for our new dog, Dumle. He is from the litter that Daim is father to in Sweden. He was traveling for a long time, about 13 hours just the last flight... but he was doing great! The introduction to the other dogs went really well last night and he has been playing around with the other puppies almost the whole day today :)

The Embroidery Studio

2009-03-10T15:16:00.002-05:00

The new house for the Embroidery studio came today!

We have to wire some electricity to it and put in the mashines in there as well, but then it will all be going on!

Daimilus Bubble Balloon will leave for his new family tomorrow. He will move to Folsom Louisiana. In the same time a new dog, Dumle will come from Sweden! Leave one and pick one up at the same time :)

The new born puppies are doing just great. It is not happening that much in the litterbox there just at the moment!

No foals yet... she is now 6 days over due and it doesn't look like anything will happen before the weekend... we'll see. I will keep you updated!

Take care

Saint Cox Opera litter

2009-03-04T11:24:00.004-06:00

The first puppy came 2:15 am. It was a sable colored girl. It became a litter of totaly five puppies, three girls and two boys. The boys are both sable and two of the girls are red and one is sable. They will get name after different operas or parts in operas...

Zascha seems to be a wonderful mother so far!!!! More information about them is coming soon...

Puppies to come

2009-03-03T19:22:00.004-06:00

Yesterday we found out that Zascha is pregnant with Robbin and will be due any day...

We saw five maybe six puppies on the x-ray and we are hoping of a lot of different color since Zascha is sable and Robbin is red and we now that he delivers both liver and chocolat.

No foals yet but that should also come any day!

Puppies are outdoors

2009-02-28T12:35:00.005-06:00

The puppies are now 8 weeks! This weeks has been going so fast! Bubble Balloon is now sold as well and will probably leave in the end of next week. They will have their vet exam next Thursday.

All the puppies are outdoors most of the days. If its raining they are all around the house. They now know how to get out of the litterbox so we run after them all day long! Here are some pictures from today when they were outdoors...

Daimilus Bisquit Boy

2009-02-24T16:21:00.002-06:00

All puppies did their BAER-test today and all have bilateral hearing, which means that they hear on both ears.
Here is a small video at Daimilus Bisquit Boy when he explored the office earlier today

Agility

2009-02-22T11:50:00.005-06:00

I was out in the garden to try to practise some agility with Daim but he wasn't that much in the mood for it today... I think it was because he thinks the camera is booooooooring... but I got three good pictures of him... :)

The puppies are doing great. We have a small "problem" with them... they escapes from the litterbox!!! So I am happy when it is good weather outdoors so they can be out instead of indoors. They will do their BAER-test on Tuesday and I am not that worried because I know that they are all hearing on at least one ear!
We are now also members of Terrell Chamber Of Commerce! We had our Ribboncutting last Wednesday that went well!

The puppies will have their BAER-test done on Tuesday next week :)

New Friends

2009-02-13T10:08:00.005-06:00

I went to Collinsville yesterday to meet some new friends, Mr. and Mrs Gengenbach at Tailwinds Farm. Thank you for letting me visit you! Here are some pictures from their farm: When I came home I found this in the mail:
It is a picture of the puppy Dumle who is coming in the beginning of March with som Daim-Candy :) I love that candy!!!! It is cola wrapped in chocolate... mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Thank You so much Ann-Sofie!!!

Horses and trees

2009-02-11T10:46:00.005-06:00

It is not much going on right now here. We had a storm last night but we managed that :) I was out this morning and broguth the camera taking some pictures of the surroundings and the horses...

This is a tree in our front yard. I like it because it is so big. I am looking forward to see how it looks like in the summer :)

The same tree in a different angle...

This tree is in the horses pasture. It is also a big nice looking one. I wonder for how long it's been standing there...

It's neigbour...

The horses are happy to be out again after the storm

Inspecting if anything happend in the storm...

Some more play...
And then just relaxing...

It won't be long until she will deliver her foal... in the beginning of March :)

Outdoors...

2009-02-08T12:31:00.004-06:00

The Dalmatian Puppies were outdoors for the first time today. That was fun they thought...

Their good looking father Bazius Daily Mirror - "Daim"

And just for fun... some birts that just came by...

More puppy pictures

2009-02-06T18:42:00.006-06:00

The puppies was playing and I had the camera close by so here are som new pictures of the puppies...

And finally Yen, she has been outdoors all day long so she was very very very tired when she came in...

The people that was supposed to fix the window did not show up by the way :(

Accident and embroidery

2009-02-06T16:01:00.005-06:00

Todays pictures are taken with my cellphone so they are not that good...

I've been waiting all day for someone to come and help me with this:

It happened yesterday but no one got hurt. I checked all the dogs carefully but didn't find anything :) Called to a company to come and fix the window but they has not shown up yet... wonder if they are coming today...

While waiting I've done some tryouts for our logo...

This is the back of a very light sweater. It needs some ajustments but I am happy with the design and the colors. The paw is not blue as it looks like here, it's dark grey. And this is the small logo on the front of a jacket, in it's original colors. The dog paw is a different kind of thread that is not very good shown at this picture but it looks pretty good in reality...

You can by the way also find us at Facebook now. If you search for Daimilus you will find our group. Welcome to join us!

Various Pictures

2009-02-05T15:33:00.005-06:00

At home Yen got a new bed today... I think she liked it very much

She also got a bigger pen, now it is the dubble size than it was before :) The dalmatianpuppies are filled up since they now started to eat ground beef a couple of times a day so they are sleeping and playing and eating all day longThis is Basket of Candy...

That is pretty much it for today!

Take care!

New Logo

2009-02-02T15:18:00.003-06:00

Just wanted to show our new logotype! Please tell me what you think about it!

The Dalmatian Puppies

2009-02-01T21:24:00.004-06:00

Since we've updated some of our ads out on different websites I thought I should put some more pictures of the puppies here. If you are interested in a puppy, please give me a call (you can find the phonenumber on the homepage) or send me an email!

Cocker puppies update

2009-02-01T11:58:00.004-06:00

We have recieved some pictures from the new owners of the English Cocker Spaniel Puppies that I wanted to share with you!

We begin with Carly & Cody (S.C. Bulgarian Leva & S.C Polish Zloty) that now lives in Dallas, TX.

And then from Florida, Saint Cox European Euro, now called Lara :)
This is the most fun part of being a breeder. Be able to watch the puppies grow up with their new family and see they get all the love they possibly can get! Thank you so much for letting us publish the pictures at our blog!

Puppies and embroidery

2009-01-30T18:32:00.002-06:00

The three remaining puppies left for their new homes today!!! I haven't heard from anyone of them yet, but I guess that no news is good news. I took some pictures this morning but haven't been able to unload them from my cellphone yet, so they will come later on... Yen, that is still here is a little bit confused but is taking everything very good. She got the opportunity to meet the dalmatianpuppies today...

The small embroiderymachine is up and running as I told the other day. We made three towels for the dalmatianlitter in Sweden. The point was that the Cocker Spaniel puppies would have their names on a towel when they left but they will have theirs when the AKC papers comes. If anyone really wants it before send us an email and I'll fix it right away

Don't forget our forum. The forum is for everybody, not only our puppybuyers. You are more than welcome to look in to http://daimilus.forum24.se and meet some new friends!

That is pretty much it for today. Now we'll have a nice weekend and I hope you will too!

Cold Weather

2009-01-29T08:21:00.002-06:00

Time for an update about what is going on here on the Ranch...

The weather has been pretty strange. This is how the fence looked like yesterday morning. It's been very very cold so both the dogs and horses wants to be indoors. Bad for the horses is that the water has frozed in the barn so to get water they need to be outdoors. But they have two blankets on instead. Think about where we are from. This is how it looks like all winter in Sweden... icy, cold, and wet, not nice...

The Cocker Spaniel puppies will be shipped to their new home tomorrow. I will be at the airport at 7 am to drop them of. One of them, Yen, will stay with us. They had their last vetexam yesterday and it went perfectly well so now all the papers should be in order for the trip. They will have a bath tonight so they look nice tomorrow.

We have one of the embroiderymachines up and running. The second one is still broken and we have ordered parts for it that will come during next week. But now we can start doing small things since it is the small machine that works. I will put up some pictures of some of the work we do here...

Daim has been practising agility a couple of times in the last week and he is doing good. He is starting to understand what the wavepoles are about and he thinks it is fun.

I think that will be all for today!

Dalmatian puppy update

2009-01-24T11:20:00.003-06:00

They are three weeks old now...

Daimilus Basket Of Candy

Daimilus Bounty Girl

Daimilus Bubble Balloon

Daimilus Bisquit Boy
Can you see that he will probably get a blue eye! That is so cute!

He also showed his "other side..."

The weather here is cold today so the Cocker puppies will have to bee indoors. Good that it was 79 degrees yesterday so they could be out for almost 8 hours! Saint Cox Italian Lira will fly to her new home in New York tomorrow!!!

Take Care everybody!

Agility

2009-01-22T19:15:00.004-06:00

First of all...

Three weeks today!!! The Cocker Spaniel Puppies turns seven weeks!

Today has been a lovely weather. A couple of days ago our new agilityjumps came!!! Yehaa!

The dogs just loves it! Daim was the first one to practise and he did a very good job. You could tell that he isn't in shape, nor am I... But we'll get there... Co-Co also tried a little bit. She has never seen jumps before so she thought they were a little bit dangerous. But the treats was good :D

The first dogclass started last Sunday. There are still spots left so give me a call or email if you are interested. A puppyclass will start on Saturday at 3 pm and there are still some spots left at that one too. 8 occations for $80!!!

The weekend

2009-01-18T18:22:00.006-06:00

This has been a relaxed weekend. We got our tire on the car fixed yesterday and that was nice.

We got some pictures from Leva and Zlotys (now called Carly & Cody) new owner here in Dallas

Isn't it adorable???

Yen and her sisters and brothers were outside yesterday... She looked pretty happy in their pen?

Molly tried to improve her makeup? I don't think it worked...Balloon opened his eyes yesterday :DI was sitting for almost two hours with the puppies yesterday. It was so lovely! I am so happy for this litter :DThe first dogclass started today and it went well! The rest of the classes will start in february. More information about that will come at the webpage soon!!

Mum is home with pizza now :D

Take Care

Dogs, vet and tires...

2009-01-16T17:15:00.004-06:00

The vetexams went pretty well yesterday. It turned out that S.C. Japaneese Yen had a luxating patella wich means that her knee joint pops in and out. This is nothing she is hurt from but we still need to tell the new owner about that she didn't pass the examination to 100% and give her alternative to or not to take the dog. She choosed not to take the dog. After that we have decided that Yen will stay with us. The rest of the puppies passed their exam perfectly!

Unfortunatly I had to go back to the vet today but with Crispy. She have had earproblems before due to foodallergy and her ears have been iching really bad lately and this morning they were all bloody. We got an appointment to 1PM. I asked for getting Hills Z/D because that is the food that Crispy has been eating the last 2 years and it has been working perfect. Z/D is on prescription here in the US and in Sweden you can get it OTC at a hospital. But thanks to Dr. Kipp Wingo and his staff he fixed two bags out of nowhere to Crispy today! That was so nice of them! They also brought it home to me!
When I was supposed to leave they came and told me I had a flat tire... again. Do You know how much I hate that car??? But once again thanks to the staff an special thanks to Mr. Jones that helped me change the tire so I could just stand there and look like a stupid girl (as I was because I can't change tires...) and drive home safetly.

We have to go and fix that tire tomorrow so we don't drive around on a spare tire for long...

Saint Cox German Mark left for his new home last night. We got a report this morning that the night worked out just perfect! Saint Cox Bulgarian Leva and Saint Cox Polish Zloty moved to their new family today. They will both be in Dallas, in the same family... The rest of the puppies will stay for another 1½ weeks...

I think that will be it for today!

More Spots

2009-01-15T12:44:00.003-06:00

Some updates of the Dalmatians puppies. They turns 2 weeks today!!! Time is running...

Candy was the first one to open her eyes yesterday!

Bounty opened hers last night. She is the one that will stay here with us :D

Bisquit is on his way to open his eyes...

And Balloon is still blind...

The Cockerspaniel puppies will have their vet exams this afternoon and the first one will probably leave tonight :D

Oliver...

2009-01-13T09:02:00.004-06:00

The Saint Bernards are usually in the garage. Yesterday we left Oliver there and Geisha in another room because Geisha is in heat and we wanted her to have a rest from a very intensive Oliver. But when we came home after 2½ hours we found Oliver outside the garage...

He jumped out of the window!!!

We went straight ahead to the vet without looking closer if it was necessary. I just made the math my self that an 144 lb dog + window = not good. He might have glass in his wounds or anything that I couldn't see in his big furr. But he was lucky. He only got small cuts in his mouth and a small on his paw that didn't need stitches. So I went home with a big dog and $50 less in my pocket... and a broken window that we hopefully will get fixed during this week.

Update

2009-01-12T10:05:00.006-06:00

The weekend has been tough but okey. We've had visitors and celebrating my mothers birthday. Otherwise everything is good. The first puppies will leave us on Thursday and Friday this week. They will have their vet exam on Thursday afternoon and will then be chipped and vaccinated and all that... Here are some pictures from yesterday when they were out in the sun!

And then some pictures of the older dogs:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!

Just wanted to publish new pictures of the Dalmatian puppies. We can now start to see what color they will get. When they was born I guessed that the girls were liver and the boys black but now it turns out that one of the boys seems to be liver as well...

Puppies puppies and puppies

The English Cocker Spaniel puppies was outdoors for their first time yesterday!

It was warm an nice outside and I think that they enjoyed it. They will be out this afternoon as well and maybe a little bit longer than yesterday!

Crispy is doing well with her puppies. They doesn't do much when they are this young. Eat, sleep, try to walk a little bit, that's it....

Zascha is in heat, but she will not be mated this time. It is enough with puppies for some time now. But the male dogs are going totaly crazy. It is tough to separate them all... you need to have good organizing skills here :D

Last days...

2008-12-27T19:59:00.002-06:00

Crispy is getting bigger and bigger. Due for her is on the 3rd of January and I hope that she at least waits until after new year. I want a good start of the new year... :D Otherwise she is doing good.

Molly and her puppies are doing great as well. They have started to eat their own food a little bit. Their eyes are open and they are walking around pretty much. They will move into another room on Monday so Crispy and her puppies can be in the office. That is because Molly and Crispy doesn't get along that well...

There was a fire at our neigbor the other day. Their shop was totaly burned out. I feel so sorry for them. Couldn't it have happened on another day than Christmas day???

Otherwise, I have a cold and that is so annoying. I was in bed almost all day yesterday. Feeling better today so I think that I'll feel better tomorrow. It was a good day to be sick on due to the weather. But we didn't get that much of the thunderstorm...

Upcoming... not much. Home at new year, watching Crispy probably and the horses.

Think that'll be all for now!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

2008-12-24T07:32:00.001-06:00

In Sweden we have Christmas today, on the 24:th so we will celebrate it 2 days!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Happy Birthday!

2008-12-21T08:24:00.003-06:00

I'm turning 29 today... Happy birthday to me!!!!

All the animals are doing great. They are confused to the weather, one day VERY WARM and two days after that it's freezing. I'll put some pictures of the puppies here tomorrow! They are also doing great!

Have a nice Sunday

Chaos

2008-12-17T18:46:00.003-06:00

We start todays blog with a cute picture. Robbin is looking at one of his puppies... isn't it cute?

Today has been totaly chaotic. First, right after lunch Robbin and Question were suddenly outside the fence!!!! How did that happen? They crawled underneith it somewhere. But they came in pretty fast.

Then later in the afternoon a strange sound came from the street. A car rolled up to our house and I watched out to see what was going on when I saw the back of one Dalmatian! OUTSIDE THE FENCE!!! What is this!?! It is totaly dangerous for the dogs to be there! My mum was alread out and I just ran out without shoes. The dogs came to me pretty fast and we got them in to the yard again. Chocked! In some way they manage to open the gate, don't ask me how but they did... a couple of minuits later another neighbour came and asked if we needed help because our closest neigbour called them and said that it was dogs all over the place... but all the dogs were inside then!!!

Before we do anything tomorrow we'll check all fence. We'll walk around and see what might be wrong, where did the Cocker Spaniels sneak out? And we will put locks on the gates so the Dalmatians can't open it... that's for sure...

Another thing... Crispy (the dalmatian) is pregnant so we'll have Dalmatian puppies in the beginnig of 2009!!!! We are so happy for that! We could see four puppies at the X-rays yesterday!!! *JIPPPIIIIEEEEE

Warm and nice

2008-12-14T17:11:00.003-06:00

Today has been a very nice day. Warm but windy... I like it!

Daniela left for home yesterday :(. Our sweet neigbours came by to say goodbye and they brought a cake!

I have talked to Daniela over MSN and she is home but her luggage is lost due to some change of aircrafts so she was pretty mad...

All the puppies are doing great. One of them have started to open his eyes. They are so cute. We will take new pictures of them next week. The purple spots has now turned in to red spots :). It is hard do keep track of them if we don't paint them...

Well well, otherwise nothing is new over here!

Take Care

Dallas

2008-12-11T15:48:00.005-06:00

Hi!

Today Splash welcomes you to the blog. Splash lives at the Animal Care Center in Wills Point where we go to the veterinary with the dogs. I was there this morning with Japp, who has hip dysplasia. The exrays just confirmed what we thought and he will now be on painkillers for a several months and will start with rehab after Christmas. Then we have to take one step at a time and see how he's doing...

Since this is the last days of Danielas stay here in Dallas we thought that she should have seen downtown Dallas before she leavs on Saturday.
We stayed at Potbelly and ate "Chicken Salad Salad". It was awesome :)

Cold!!!

2008-12-10T20:13:00.002-06:00

Hi again!

What is this?!? We are moving to Texas to get away from the cold weather in Sweden, and what do we get?!? Right below freezing the whole day. The dogs doesn't want to go out, the horses have two blankets on and I am freezing like never before. Even if the actual temperature is right below freezing, it feels like a lot colder because of the wind... I want it to be warm and nice!

Molly's puppies are doing great. She is taking so good care of them and she also accept other people (read strangers) to come and visit her and her puppies. It is so fun to se how she is taking care of them all!

Mum has decorated the door to the puppies... one stocking for each puppy... do you think Santa will put something in them on Christmas? I think it's adorable :)

Puppies and some more

2008-12-08T13:09:00.004-06:00

Hi again!

Our lives are right now surrounded by puppies. Our own puppies are doing well. They eat and sleep and scream, that's it. But they seem to be healthy and Molly is still a very good mum.
On October 8:th Daim mated Evelyn. Yesterday Evelyn got seven puppies. Unfortunatly two was dead but the five that still is here seems to do well so far. Two dogs and three bitches :). Daim is a very proud father!! One of this puppies will presumably move over here when it's old enough.

Daniela mountained Hanniball again today. Looking like a real cowboy they both seems to have a lot of fun :) It was windy today and that was even more fun if you ask Hanniball!

Today some of the dogs will go to the veterinarian to start their deworm program. We are not used to deworm our dogs as much as necessary here. We usually do it once a year and here you have to do it once a month!!! We will start with the Dalmatians and continue with the rest during this week.

I would also like to congratulate Kennel Jillocs who became The Best Breeder Of the year in Sweden 2008!!!! CONGRATULATIONS FROM US ALL!!! WELL DONE!

Christmasdecorations

2008-12-06T16:30:00.003-06:00

Yesterday we decorated the barn. Why shouldn't the horses have a nice christmas as we have?

As you might know, our next door neigbours is the christmastree farm here in Terrell. Many of their visitors walks around the farm and looks at the trees. That turns in to that our dogs is kind of an attraction for them :D I Took this picture of Hoppsan waiting for the next people to come and visit her

The puppies are doing fine. They gain weight as they should and the only thing they are doing right now is sleep and eat... a little bit booring the first days until they open their eyes.

Puppies!!!

2008-12-04T14:51:00.005-06:00

Molly delivered eight healthy puppies last night, four bitches and four dogs. Seven are red and one of the bitches is black. Everyone seems to be healthy!!!

The mares are home!

2008-12-01T16:02:00.005-06:00

Finally... the mares came home this morning!!! They all seems to be alright. We separated the filly, Dallas DW from Aisha directly when they came home and that went perfect! Both Dallas and Aisha accepted it! During the afternoon Sugarbum, Dallas and Hanniball went out for a couple of hours to have some fun... I think the pictures speaks for themselves...

Visitors & Canton

2008-11-29T16:01:00.003-06:00

We've got some visotors from Sweden last night. So nice to see them again, and they brought Swedish chocolat and coffee with them :)Daniela, Mum and I went to Canton today, to the big market. It was lovely. We took a lot of pictures and you can find more pictures at our Swedish blog :) but here are some things that we actually bought...

We also got a report from Sweden and Amber BW, one of the horses that will be in Sweden for 2009. She is having vacation in December which is good. She will be in some shows during Spring next year so I think she'll need this rest.

The mares has left the quaranteen in Ohio now. They are expected to be home during night or tomorrow early. We are so much looking forward to have them home again!

Preparations

2008-11-28T16:22:00.005-06:00

After what we have heard the mares will be coming home either tomorrow night or early Sunday morning. And we are going to Canton tomorrow so we had to prepare for the horses already today:

It was many bales of shavings that was needed... 25 bales to be exact. That meant 25 plastic bags...But now everything is set for the mares to come home ...

The dogs have had a nice day... they hate the rain so they have been...

That will be all for today!

Take care!

Thanksgiving

2008-11-27T17:31:00.004-06:00

Today has been the day that we never got dressed. Yes, it is right. We planned to clean Hanniballs stall in the morning, and after that we've just been watching TV and relaxed. That was also what we planned to do :)- Mum cooked a turkey for us that was delicious.

Mum also got some ideas of a new business. I am still dreaming of my tack store and I hope that my mums idea will come true because it was a good idea. I won't say anymore because otherwise it won't be a surprise when it will take place...

No puppies yet :(

Cleaning the barn

2008-11-26T10:34:00.004-06:00

Hi again!

No puppies yet :( Molly is getting bigger and bigger so it can't be that long now. The rest of the dogs are doing fine. We got a report from Sweden and Evelyn, who is mated with Daim that she is also getting bigger and bigger. It is still 2 weeks until delivery there. So more information to come :)

Yesterday we started a new project... cleaning the barn...

before and after.... say no more...

Half the job was done yesterday and we will continue with the rest during the afternoon.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Fist time in our family that we celebrate Thanksgiving since it's not an holiday in Sweden. We have something callled Advent on sunday instead but that is not such a big thing as Thanksgiving. We will celebrate them both...

Hanniballs cold that he got is gone now. That is nice. He is doing perfectly fine now and I think he is looking forward to Sunday when the mares are coming home! At least I am looking forward to that!

Hanniball

2008-11-21T19:49:00.003-06:00

Hi again!

First week at the farm has gone fast.

Hanniball got a cold. We had to go to the Veterinarian to day just to get him checked up. There are so many different decises here that we don't have in Sweden. But it seems just to be a cold due to the climate that he is not used to. We got some medications for him, so hopefully he'll be just fine in a couple of days.

Got an email from the quaranteen that the mares are doing just fine. Dallas is nice, and so are the others of course.

Molly is getting closer to give birth. It's just a matter of days now. I think she is looking forward to getting them out now... We are almost prepared for them to come, just som small stuff that we need to organize before but that'll be fine I think...

That's all for now!

Take care!

Finally here

2008-11-17T13:32:00.005-06:00

After a long long trip, we have finally reached our destination - HOME.

All the animals has been taken the trip very well. The dogs are now here, the gelding Hanniball came on Saturday and the mares will come in two weeks...

Here are some pictures from the trip and here at home...

What is this?

2008-11-05T15:04:00.003-06:00

This is a blog about my life and my animals. My name is Cilla and I will move to Texas in 5 days. That's why I started this blog. I already have two other blogs, one that I show my pictures and onw that I write in Swedish. I have grown up in Sweden but I am born in Miami, FL in 1979. I have dual citizenships and that makes this move possible. I will move to Texas with my mother, 6 horses and 14 dogs. I start this blog today because there will be a couple of days where I won't write because of the trip. This will also be a blog where You can follow our lives from day #1 in USA.

I hope that you will find my blog intresting. My English gramma might not be the best but I hope that you'll understand me anyway. I also hope that you enjoy the pictures that I will upload here later on.

Might write in the coming days, otherwise I'll be back when we've landed in Texas!
