This is what  we woke up to this morning ! Turkeys on our lawn....they wandered over from the horse farm about a quarter mile down the road. The dogs went crazy !!! All barking and trying to get out of the house.

Here's an updated picture of Gabby at 11 weeks...and 24 lbs ! ( with my youngest daughter Kristy) Sorry these pictures aren't very clear...they are put on via a video camera that freezes the frame.

Hi there,
Got this in the mail today from one of my puppy people. I found out after he went home that his "mom" is a photo hobbyist, so I've been blessed with many great pictures of this baby - Rudy.  Just thought you might want a look.

Hello,
Maxine asked me to forward these to the list...

Gina (owner Gail Fusco?) stealing from the clothes dryer. Gina asked if all spinoni cross their legs. I don't know if all do, but Xoe does.

Gina after pheasant hunting. She pointed six pheasant, but had trouble retrieving because they weighed about 5 lbs each.

Good Spaces, Frances

Here goes my first attempt at using my scanner; I really don't know what I'm doing, so wish me luck and I hope I don't jam up anyone's computer!

I am so excited as I have just finished filling in Zeke's Crufts Schedule.  I have never shown a Spin or indeed any gundog there before.  I am already getting nervous and March is ages away!

I got back with with some photo's of two of my boys! Zeke and Zebedee (The honary spin, <Papillon>)  I have the biggest and smallest dogs in our Swimming group,  At first I never thought that Zeke would ever go in the water but after the little stinker, Zebedee went in first you now can't keep them out!

What always makes me laugh is that as soon as Zeke's paw hits the cold water
his tail shoots right up in the air!

Hope you like them and I haven't taken too much loading time!

Jo and Zekey

Hope you don't mind another picture of my baby.....she's just sooo cute!

I like to think she's pondering the birds she saw a few weekends ago
while out training with Renata. ( look at that front paw ! BIG )

LeeAnne

Last one.... Gabby again, today

LeeAnne

Well since I had some success with the last photo I scanned, I'll try it again... this is a picture of Breezy and one of our other dogs, Max.  Note who has possession of the dog bed...

Goodness my Zekey gets off his bed to allow my other dogs and cats access to his bed!!!! If there is a little room for him he will then squeeze back in too!!! Here is a picture of Zekey and Kelly-Kat! Often he will chew her head when he is bored and she lets him!! Cats are stoopid really!

Well, we have just got our second Spinone, Kai now a seven week old white/orange.  I thought I would share some pictures of him. two of them were taken at 4 weeks and the third at seven weeks with Millie (our 9 month old Brown Roan) and Blue (Grey Moggie from local cat rescue).

Dear Maxine:

Thanks for chatting with me last week. I hope you're a little less busy. I guess with the holidays you're probably just as busy. No rest for the weary. 

I'm sending you several pictures of Marcello (Cello for short). We think he's beautiful and so do most people who meet him. LeeAnne gave us pictures of his grandfather and we think he looks very much like him.

This Santa picture was taken at 12 weeks.

I'll mark the other ones with approximate age. LeeAnne and I thought you might like some for your newsletter. I'll send the ones that I sent her and you can choose which ones you would like to use if any.

Hope to talk to you soon.

Doris Ghitelman

PS Santa can't wait to meet her uncle and Cello can't wait to meet his
brother Nick and sister Rachel. 

This one was taken in our front yard. He's about 10 Wks old.

This was taken in Manhattan at 12 wks. old with me, his mom.

This is Cello with his dad at 9 wks old

Same day but with mom

This was taken in our side yard. He's about 10 wks. old

When ever I arrive to grandma/dog sit at my family's house there is a mad rush through the door!  No it is not to see everyone as you may think but it is to secure a place on the sofa!!!!!!!  There is never any room for me! Who out of my lot do you think is the dog that is the happiest to share my lap? Not the 2kg, toys, oh no they are too big for laps but you guessed it, the 40kg one fits just fine!!!<G>

Then I get home and Zekey does not like my Sofa, so what does he do?  Yes he takes my clean washing makes a nest and goes to sleep!!!!

Don't you just love them?

Jo and Zekey

Hi there everyone!  Thought that you might like to see Zekey's Aunty Diamond - Goldfly Diamond in the Sky!  She is now Famous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (Not sure if I am allowed to reprint but I will chance it)  She was picked to advertise sainsbury's here in the Uk and is in all the the National Papers!!!  Isn't she lovely!  Isn't it lovely to see a spin about!!!!!

Jo and very proud nephew Zeke

We had a good weekend!! Gabby qualified for Crufts 2000 by coming first in the PGB class out of 22 entries at the LKA Championship Show in Birmingham on Saturday and we took our puppy, 'Spinazzola Joey Tribbiani' out of Gabby (Cajalanni Lucretsia Borgia) and Spino del Leircote (Sharpshot) to his first ever show aged 6 months and 1 day where he took best puppy in show. Needless to say we are thrilled.

Hi everyone, thought that you might want to see Sonia and her new English/Irish Champion! (Ch & Ir Sh Ch Goldfly Hello Dolly!)
