My Son the Artist

Now while I’ve always known Kaelyn was a little artist, I had no idea Kendrick had any artistic talents until this year. He started bringing home amazing drawings and he started doodling on notebook paper, and I was very impressed with what he came up with!

Here are his displays at the Art Fair.

My Daughter the Artist

We have known Kaelyn has artistic talent since she was a toddler. She has blown us away through the years with her various creations using all types of materials.

The kids had the opportunity of having art class this spring, taught by a local architect and artist and they both love it!

They showcased their drawings and paintings tonight at the Art Fair.

Vegetable Roll Ups

I have not been in the kitchen very much lately. It just isn’t my favorite place to be. But when I decide to actually make something, it ends up being fun, especially when everybody rants and raves about how good it is.

This was a recent recipe featured on The Pioneer Woman’s blog. I took these to the school Art Fair this evening. They were a big hit and not a morsel was left over!

I guess I should hang out in the kitchen more often!

Silver Paw Kennels is Moving

silverpawkennels — Tue, 22 May 2012 01:41:33 +0000

Things are happening and the future looks bright! Silver Paw Kennels is moving and it’s going to be easier for everyone! We are going to be closer to town! We are going to be closer to the airport! We are going to be closer to the vet! We are going to be closer to the kids’ school and our church! We are going to be closer to our extra curricular activities! We are going to be farther from our ski mountain (you can’t have everything, you know!) And we are going to have less snow (hopefully) and milder weather (hopefully)!!

Our kennel area is going to be bigger, and it’s going to be indoors. And we are going to have outdoor space that is BIG and FLAT for lots of outdoor playtime for the dogs! We will make things happen one step at a time, and today something really exciting happened!

But first, let’s start at the very beginning…

We bought a house…

With a barn and a chicken shed…

The barn is BIG and RED and PURDY!!

It has lots of cool features, like a BIG storage room behind the 1st door, and a country basketball court behind the other two doors!

There is a big opening on the front of the barn that will be our indoor/outdoor covered doggie play area. Did you hear me say COVERED?!! This is very important, considering we get enough snow each year to be measured in FEET, and not inches! And let’s not forget the rain, and how undesirable wet, dirty, and cold doggies are!

The barn is divided into two areas, the big side, and the lean-to side.

The lean-to side is not very pretty inside right now, because, well, it’s an old barn, but we have lots of plans. A few weeks ago it looked like this…

Lots of stuff everywhere…

Most of it trash, and there were these annoying grooves in the cement…

We think it was an old cow barn, and this is where all the p**p ran down the floor – ewww!

But never fear, the woodman, who also does cement, came to the rescue today, and began the process of turning this big lean-to into a big, beautiful (term used loosely, even when project is completely finished) , first class (almost) dog kennel for our adult dogs!

Notice all that “junk” in the barn is now gone as well, but we can’t take credit for that as the owners that we bought the property from took care of that major detail for us!!

I’m thinking that some nice white-washed walls are next on the to-do list!!

New Blog Features

silverpawkennels — Mon, 21 May 2012 19:48:39 +0000

I’ve added a couple new features to the blog and I wanted to talk about them so nobody is confused or worried if they notice their name OFF of the waiting list.

Because the Cavachons are so popular, we receive deposits very early in the process, sometimes even before puppies are born. Then, little by little, people choose their puppies, and I’ve made that notation within the waiting list on the right column here on the blog. I’ve noticed that when the list is long, and it is riddled with puppies that have been matched, and families that are still waiting, it becomes a little confusing to figure out whose turn it is to choose a puppy, and which puppies are still available.

I’ve added a new section on the right column called “Reserved Puppies”. Once a family has selected their puppy, their name will be removed from the waiting list and added to the Reserved Puppy list. This will help the waiting list to not be bogged down, and it will truly reflect those that are actually still “waiting” to select a puppy.

I also added a little section called “Upcoming Litters”, which will list any upcoming litters, the parents, breed, and month that the puppies are due.

I hope these new changes help the website be more streamlined, precise, and organized. Any feedback welcome!

Puppy Selection Lilly’s Litter

silverpawkennels — Mon, 21 May 2012 17:29:24 +0000

Yesterday was spa day for Lilly’s litter. They were perfect little angels during the whole process except for one little pooper during the blow dry! But I was right there and got that scooped up immediately and a fresh towel in the crate for the rest of the time!

Lilly’s puppies are 6 weeks old today so it’s time to open the litter up for puppy selection. I am working through the waiting list and will soon know which puppies have been selected and which puppies are still available.

These babies are just darling and oh so small!
