It was three a day trip this year, with a mission. Willow Sunshine was bred to Johnny. We left from Hancock, NH with a car load of labradors: Nash and his sister Ziggy (15 years old), Pearl and Willow Sunshine (in heat). Nash n Ziggy were taken care of by a friend CT. The girls and I drove up to Norwood early the next morning. Making excellent time in 9 1/2 hours from Guilford. One stop for gas, one stop at the duty free shop. We breezed through the crossing. Weather was fantastic for driving, clear and sunny.
Dinner Sunday was fantastic at Cheryl and Terry's. Missed you Jen. Damon is handsome as ever. He's matured a lot in the past year. His expression reminds me of Pearl, while his body is very much like Nash. Ripply and Damon were well behaved considering they had a girl in heat on their property. The trip felt different without Nash and Ma. There presence missed.
The full moon on Sunday was a great show, but I missed the lunar eclipse of the harvest moon. At least I got to see the moon rise and set, and then turn around and watch the sun rise.
I wonder, what are the implications of breeding on a full moon that was harvest moon, blue moon too I think, and total lunar eclipse? Two ties. If all goes as planned. Pups November 28th. My little girl might be a mama.
Thanks again to my Canadian friends for a wonderful time, great hospitality, and until next time - be well.
