Brady's Show Record

The world is not conclusion; a sequel stands beyond. Invisible, as music but positive as sound.



Each day he watched after me.

Walking, touching sides; "by me", I said.

Walking ahead, turning back to check.

He reassured me, I assured him.

 

Every night he slept with me;

across the bottom of the bed.

My knees to my chin;

I save his place for him.

 

Someday we will be together again.

He waits for me, I'm sure.

bulletJameson's Show Record
Jameson became a US Champ in the summer of 2006. It was a thrill watching him in the ring. He is such a blockhead at home that I was always amazed watching him show. He is now 6 and still very  young at heart. He is very loyal and insists on being "near" -- sometimes "too near". Devotion is his middle name (actually it's Frederick after his human grandfather) and he embraces every embodiment of the term "companion". He lies by my feet, sleeps by the side of my bed, stays by my side on our walks. He is an extremely handsome fellow (JMHO). I find myself just staring at him sometimes and marveling at his good looks. I just simply love him to pieces.

This is our youngest redhead, Evan William. (The "William" is after his human step-brother as they have similar personality traits.) We started referring to him as Stephanie's brother in short order. He and Steph both share an exuberance for life that would be envied by most cheerleading squads. Remarkably, he minds the house rules and tries his very hardest to please. He is definitely babied by the girls and his mom, Madonna, continues to mother him by washing his face and ears.  He's a weenie boy in a good way. We walk daily and he trots along beside me off-lead feeling very special and accomplished. It is a skill that neither Courtney or Stephanie have mastered.

Jake is now 13 years old. We can't believe it. He is still his independent little self and needs his world to be orderly and routine. He has started grunting when he gets up or down. It's a great grunt and it makes us laugh. He is very hard of hearing and has trouble seeing but he manages very well and insists on being in the thick of things. We love him so much as do all our redheads.

bulletIn Memory

I miss this little girl so much. The comfort of having a friend has been taken away, but not that of having had one.

 


"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."

Both Jessica and Madonna will be 11 years old this year. I just can't believe it. They have been our "core" for so long. Jessica is our timekeeper. She knows almost to the second when it is time for breakfast and dinner and brings it to our attention --daily. She also announces the bedtime biscuit break. She is utterly adorable and a snuggle bunny. Although she and Madonna are sisters and either one could choose to lead, Jessica is perfectly happy to let Madonna handle all the disciplinary tasks. She hunts a mean rawhide!

Madonna continues to be the head honcho in our sea of redheads. She has her challenges but continues to hold her own. She rules with low grumbles and the occasional but fierce bared teeth grin. It's not common but when these warnings are not heeded, she'll haul off and wrap her jaws around the head of the offender. She and Vienna have mended their differences -- the call of the living room couch settled that pretty quickly. Madonna is showing her age somewhat -- I'm very careful to type this very quietly. She would be aghast that I even mention it. She continues to run with the youngest and does a great job of keeping up. It is only after the adrenaline wears off that she feels her muscles reminding her that a trot may work best at this stage.

Stephanie continues to be our social director. She runs our event schedule and romps from room to room directing "traffic". She and I are trying to connect as she sprees through the open fields and down the trails. I'm trying to let her have her "say" and not holler at every transgression. But, she IS 8 years old and SHOULD be checking back with me a little more often then she deems necessary. Once she gets tuckered out, she trots along beside me and I cherish that she has chosen to spend that time with me. She does watch me as I do my kennel chores but I think it's only to catch the nuance that I'm through and ready to go outside for some FUN.

Vienna may be having puppies this Spring. I bred her to Jameson during the 2010 blizzard. We were visiting up in Northern Virginia and managed to get snowed in when Blizzard #2 and #3 rolled through. This was a split season for her so don't know if she'll actually be a Mom but we'll wait and see. I keep asking her how her babies are doing and she remains mum on the subject. We are excited about the thought of puppies though, it's been since Evan that we've had a litter on the ground. It's always exciting for us and the redheads when puppies arrive.

Courtney is a new Mom! She had 4 boys and 1 girl on August 8th, 2010. Mom and pups are doing great -- the pups are plump.

Courtney is a beautiful girl. She is our Rita Hayworth --a real centerfold. She moves soundly, stacks perfectly (when she's not choosing to dance) and has a knowledgeable expression. I just love watching her. She is a little stinker though. She can't possibly walk on-lead without just a little tugging -- she expects me to keep up. I've tried keeping up and when we finally get in-synch she just starts stepping out a little quicker. She does watch me and wants to please but there is a little part of her that thinks she knows best and she'll always test. She will always be a little too much for me to handle in the ring -- I'm not as smart as she is and I've made the mistake of letting her know it. She is currently visiting Jill in Canada where she will be earning her Canadian title AND, hopefully, having a litter of puppies. I am VERY excited about this breeding and know that Courtney has been anticipating becoming a mother. Her poor pups will be licked and licked and licked!

This is Geneva. I can't believe that she'll be 4 years old this year. She is absolutely the sweetest little girl. She's a tomboy though and takes no grief from any of her roommates. She runs with the fastest boys and spars with the snarkiest girls. She has a very expressive face and I just know she understands most of everything that I say to her. She'll be the first to greet me and spends a lot of time up on her two hind legs to make sure she stands out in the crowd. It's okay though. She doesn't pounce against my chest, she just stands to sort of say "here I am". She is my best ball player and, for some obscure reason, she fetches the tennis ball and actually brings it back to me and drops it for me to throw again. I was sure that was a skill that a redhead would never grasp.

This is Heidi who lives in Michigan. She has a wonderful life there and two really great humans tending to her every need. She was my pick girl from the Sun litter. She has been in the ring a few times and performed very well. She reminds me a lot of her Aunt Jessica.
