We've got a new litter of Italian Greyhound pups!
Spunky outdid herself and for her first litter she suprised us with a
whopping 5 little pups! (and boy is she relieved tonight ... she's been
on the edge of popping for a week now!) Take a look at them on the IG
Puppy page, or on the IG Sales
page.

Well, my house is officially for sale. If you know
of anyone interested ... It is nice and big, has a HUGE living-room, and
lots of mature trees on 1.12 acres of land. To top it all off, its pipe
fenced (perfect for horses)! Have to sell it soon, due to a divorce. Call
if interested, Laura 505/304-9322

Thinking about moving - not sure where yet though.
Might be a bit before any new updates...
More IG Pups expected around the first of September!

male. They will be going fast so check the IG

Another litter of Italian Greyhound puppies are
on their way ... I'm expecting Amy's next litter within a month or so.
I've got a new job! Now I'm selling at CASA on the
WestSide: Jeep * Chrysler * Mitsubishi, and a huge pre-owned inventory
too! If you - or anyone you know - is looking for another vehicle, give
me a call! (505/304-9322)

Well, another rescue joined our family this week. He's a (potentially)
very nice looking buckskin that is currently just a little down on his
luck ... not to mention very underweight and lame too. Here's to hoping
he picks up quickly with a little lovin' & a lot of feed! For more
details & updates see the Rescue
pages.

Merry Christmas! I'm spending Christmas day with
my family - at my parents with my many (11) brothers & sisters. Can't
think of a better way to spend the day. Everyone's off playing games or
having fun with their new toys, and I figured I'd work on the website
a bit. Just spent the afternoon learning (teaching myself) how to make
an animated gif, so now have an animated picture series on my Homepage.
I'm so excited! (simple things amuse simple minds...)

So much happening lately! Been so busy I haven't
had a lot of time to spend here. Our first litter of Italian Greyhound

The NM State Fair miniature horse show yesterday was great!
Kachina won FIRST place in the LEMHC Breeders Futurity class ... and at
only 17 days old! She's taking after her sire (Kaleidoscope) already.
ShortStack, at 18 days old, was a great hit with the crowds. He spent
half the day in the display corral set up by the NM Horse Council outside
the horse arena. He bucked, strutted, and generally hammed it up for all
the kids & adults that gathered to watch him. And Kaleidoscope is
starting to really get the hang of driving - Only his second show driving
and he was consistently placing in the ribbons. Kal topped it all off
with a First in an AWESOME roadster class drive!

A New Filly just arrived! "Kachina Doll" is a very
refined bay pinto with all of her daddy's spunk & action already!
This one is a keeper and will be trained & shown by my sister, Joanna
Essenmacher, before joining our breeding program. Pix on our Foals
Page!
That's
it for our foals this year. Two pinto fillies & one colt. All happy
& healthy - couldn't ask for more!
Kelpie is growing so nicely, clipped her today and
she's all legs & neck with striking dapples all over. Wow!
08/29/02
We have a New Colt! "Short Stack" is a tiny silver
dapple minimal pinto - he's only 17.75 inches tall! Another simple birth
& a healthy baby. Pix on our Foals
Page!

Just recovered from "The Great Computer Crash"
of 2002 ... lost all the files on my computer and then found out that
my backup disk had somehow failed to backup at the same time. Oops. Finally
got the computers fixed and pieced back together my website!
Kelpie is growing fast - Just added new pictures - Check out Kelpie's
Page to see how she's maturing! We have decided to offer her for sale.
Although I'd love to keep her getting a barn up takes priority over more
horses right now so take a look at our Sales
Page for more info. We're expecting two more foals by the end of next
month too!
I have a new job! I am working for Brad Francis, a Ford & Chevy Dealer
in Los Lunas, NM. If you are in the area and looking for a new/used vehicle
give me a call! (304-9322)
I went to the NM Humane Society a couple weeks back to put in an application
for employment. Really, that was all I went for. Seriously. But then what
a waste of a trip not to look and see what they had up for adoption ...
Not that I need any more dogs ... but never hurts to just look.
I'm such a sucker for a pair of big brown eyes... Came home with another
rescue. Classie Lady is a beautiful Afgahn Hound who had been thru a couple
unsuitable homes & had gotten a bad reputation. She is one of the
best mannered dogs I've seen and has found a home for life with us. See
the Rescue Page for her story!
I also placed another rescue dog in a great home last week.
Its always so nice when we can match a dog with the perfect "family"!
D.O.G.'s story is also on the rescue page (link above).
Looking forward to showing the minis at the NM State Fair - Hopefully
will be able to get the time off work to be there...

 Well,
our first 2002 Foal was just born today! It was an easy & uneventful
afternoon birth on a nice sunny day. As if that's not already enough,
She is a stunning Silver Dapple Pinto Filly!
Chewie, our rottweiler has already "adopted" her and follows
her around to make sure she doesn't get in trouble. He adores her. Check
out the Pix on our Foals Page!
At least this was good news today. Yesterday I was rear-ended
while driving Ben's FireHawk on the highway. So now dealing with whiplash
& insurance companies... The back of his new car doesn't look so pretty
anymore either. :(

The Spring Fiesta Show here in Albuquerque NM was a blast
this year! There were over 250 horses attending for some great competition.
We showed our two stallions - Freckle & Kaleidoscope. (Somehow even
managed to get Ben out in the ring showing Freckle in Halter classes!)
Freckle did well, especially in the multi-color class, getting two first
places & a second. This was Kal's first show for driving, and he did
great! By the end of the show he was consistently in the ribbons &
had placed as high as second in a class of 10! For his first time out
driving I am thrilled with my boy! Can't wait to hit the next show with
some more miles under our tires... :)
We are expecting a foal anyday now from our miniature mare, Katie. She
was due on May 20th. Still no baby yet though - although she does look
like she's about to pop!
04/20/02
Our latest little Italian Greyhound addition just arrived
from Florida! She's a beautiful little white pup with a blue head, 3 months
old, and so full of herself its amazing! A lot of IG's are reserved
& shy - especially in new surroundings. This one is so curious that
she's running circles around the yard taking in all the new sites! Came
up with a great name for her, "Spunky" - it fits her perfectly!
Check out her pictures on our Italian
Greyhound Page.
