5 MORE PUPPIES

Sarah sent a message that Arrieta was in labor. By the time Arrieta finished she had 5 beautiful puppies. Three females and two male pups.

Arrieta always has gorgeous fat fluffy puppies and each one of these are going to be just as adorable as her last litter. The video below is of Arrieta's puppies from the litter in 2018 playing with Emma.

Phil and Anna's girls were there as she was having her puppies.  As Arrietta was busy, and Maddie's puppies are only 2 days old they got to hold Rizzy's 4 day old Cavapoo puppies for a picture.



Rizzy's puppies are also adorable and have beautiful markings. Below are a couple pictures of Rizzy's past puppies.

Rizzy and Arrieta's puppies are priced at only $1200.00 each. They will be well socialized, have a start on potty training and will come with a started pack of their food.  Sarah also makes sure they have their first set of shots and will be de-wormed. They will have their dew claws removed and each will be vet checked. If a new puppy is in your future you may want to reserve one of these  puppies. They really are sweet.
This morning I went shopping at Sam's early then worked with Karin. Karin brought Hadassah into the stall for more clicker training. As Hadassah has been hard to catch in the past, Karin is using the halter as a target. Karin would hold the halter out and each time Hadassah would touch it with her nose Karin would press the clicker and give Hadassah a treat.  Hadassah is very smart and she learned that pretty quickly.

Next Hadassah was brought into the round pen.

She really is a beautiful mare. I took a few pictures for the website.

That is going very very well. We feel we have a break through with her and she is now relaxing with us.  Rosaleigh and her filly were worked with next. Rosaleigh's filly was having fun playing during some of the training.
I'm actually surprised this filly isn't sold yet. She is EVERYTHING anyone would want in a Friesian. She will be tall, is nice and stocky, has amazing movement and presence AND will the mega hair.  She is for sale for only $8000.00 and will come with her Friesian Heritage Horse International papers, her dna results and current coggins and will do everything a weanling should do. She is very friendly and already loves people.  She can also be bred to Valiant or another Friesian stallion by age 3 and the resulting foal will MORE than pay for what we are asking for this filly. She really has wonderful potential as a brood mare that we really should keep her except...I'm getting old, how long should I stay in this business?  By the time Karin and I finished with the horses,  we were both dripping wet with sweat but still needed to get the arena sprayed for weeds. We also mixed up some fly spray and sprayed down the shelters, stalls, around the buildings and since we had some left my patio and the playground area. By that time we were drenched with sweat and decided to go jump in mom's lake. We joined a bunch of the family all cooling off there and stayed in the lake for over an hour.
Philip got mom's air conditioner fixed this evening then he and the kids joined us for supper. Diane found lots of neat toys for this house at the Hanna City garage sales and the girls had fun discovering them. It really was hot outside but not hot enough to forget about the extreme cold we went through this winter. The picture below shows Illinois 6 months apart. At least with the heat we can cool down in the lakes, sit in the shade and do our work early morning,  we aren't confined to being inside 24 hours a day in order to survive.
