7 Jul ~ Well ours is a quiet house ours is! Myrtle and Marcus left us on Saturday and are nicely settled in their new homes. Meanwhile Sunday was spent 'normalising' the homestead inbetweenst ironing, cooking and, of course, making time to watch the British Grand Prix. Soon have the pups photo pages up and running ~ next job.
30 Jun ~ Remembering today Rosie (Enigmai Lady Fluor Titulina), Sadie (Enigmai Lady Garnet Alethia), Harry (Enigmai Sir Thorite Numitor) and Ruby (Enigmai Lady Manalite Maera) from Ambers last litter who would have been 16 on the 28 June.
On the puppy front Marcus and Myrtle have now been microchipped and had their eye successfully examined by Mr Mason; just their vet check with our vetsd tomorrow and they are ready for the off on Saturday - just the paperwork to complete of course.
18 Jun ~ Trying to catch up with events this week so..... Happy 7th Birthday to Bo (Enigmai Sir Silex Galahad), Buddy (Enigmai Sir Augite Herakles), Harley (Enigmai Sir Tektite Latinus) and Ralph Enigmai Sir Hafnon Aequitas) from Crystal's last litter in 2018. Next, we must remember three offspring who have departed over Rainbow's Bridge namely, Ace (Enigmai Sir Triphane Cadmus at Pacchibei), Ella (Enigmai Lady Kamacite Carna) and Poppy (Enigmai Lady Capillitite Io) who was our oldest surviving Cavalier until 29 May. Whilst all that is going on we will add a Happy 8th Birthday to Ziggy (Enigmai Sir Chaoite Aeolus), Jasper (Enigmai Sir Cromite Atreus), Bertie (Enigmai Lady Gymnite Phoebe) and Chunk (Enigmai Sir Apatite Veive) whose mum was also Crystal.
In addition the pups are finally moved to the puppy area at the bottom of the living room after the carpet eventually arrived (along with the hot weather) so they now have the freedom to run about, plenty more toys to play with ~ they don'd however stop Mark from attempting to pull the inside of the whelping box into the pen area ~ or both of them pulling the lower vet bed into the room to sleep. Speaking of the pups, both are now spoken for and whilst Mark so far is still Mark but Mia is now Myrtle in keeping wth Becky and Mark's choice of naming all their girls after flowers. Both of them are also coping well with their new food of Butternut Box which they now devour.

10 Jun ~ Firstly Happy 13th Birthday to Max (Enigmai Sir Soranus Flint) and secondly, but sadly, In Memorium to his sister Crystal (Enigmai Lady Crystal Megara) who sadly left just a few days ago.
31 May ~ Sad news on two fronts today. Firstly Pat sent us an e-mail Thursday evening to say that Poppy (Enigmai Lady Capillitite Io) sadly passed over Rainbow's Bridge peacefully in her own bed just a matter of days shy of her 16th birthday. A well travelled lady accompanying Pat on many trips and just a few days ago Pat sent us this picture of Poppy enjoying a day out in Houghton Lodge Gardens.
Whilst we were getting over the news we had to take our own dear Crystal (Enigmai Lady Crystal Megara) to the vets and due to accumulated health issues had to make that decision that no caring owner ever wants make but nevertheless has to to ease suffering; just 11 days shy of her 13th birthday.
Needless to say they will both be added to our Rainbow's Bridge page.

18 May ~ Round up time now that we have a moment of rest from hospitals, vets and cardiologists. So....firstly remembering the birthday anniversary of Lexie (Enigmai Lady Diamond Furina), Millie (Enigmai Lady Diatomite Roma) and Teddy (Enigmai Sir Dolomite Helios) from Lucy's fourth litter in 2010. Which indirectly leads us on to little miss Oona who went into first stage labour last Saturday and eventually gave birth to a stillborn and then kept us waiting until we had to contact the emergency vet hospital in Winchester at 0400 and then transport to them where after examination and ultrasound we had to let them do a cesarean. The end result being a live boy and girl ~ Mark and Mia. Unfortunately the rest of the litter were lost so it looks like we might now be out of the breeding circle; time for heavy decision making as to whether we mate her again or not. Still on the subject of Oona of we went bright and early to Worpelsden for Doppler heart testing with Dave Fisher the cardiologist only to find that apparently you cannot carry out heart testing for twelve weeks after giving birth - hey-ho, wish we'd known beforehand. Anyway, picture of Oona with Mark and Mia below together with a piccy of Izzie that Victoria send us on the occassion of her 11th birthday.

30 Apr ~In Memorium today to two little ladies who are sadly no longer with us, namely, Honey (Enigmai Lady Rosolite Pax) and Bella (Enigmai Lady Topaz Alcestis) from Amber's fourth litter way back in 2008. With only ten or so days to go until Oona produces her first litter of puppies she is looking somewhat rotund shall we say. We shall wait and see.
20 April ~ Firstly, Happy Easter everybody. Secondly, we would like to wish a Happy 11th Birthday to Honey (Enigmai Lady Praseme Enodia), Izzie (Enigmai Lady Gypsite Physis), Murphy (Enigmai Sir Celsian Aeneas), Nero (Enigmai Sir Calcite Aegeus) and, not forgetting our own bundle of naughtiness, Ziva (Enigmai Lady Potspar Edesia) ~ all from Willows last litter in 2014. Enjoy your day peeps.
30 Mar ~ Well here we are again with a few more birthdays to celebrate ~ in this case it is Happy 14th Birthday to Oscar (Enigmai Sir Silica Ouranos), Bertie (Enigmai Sir Silica Oceanus), Timmy (Enigmai Sir Silver Oedipus) and Queenie (Enigmai Lady Gahnite Pallas); not forgetting their brother Buster (Enigmai Sir Coesite Agenor) sadly lost to his family in 2021. All of course from Willow's first litter in 2011.
22 Mar ~ Happy 13th Birthday to Teddy (Enigmai Sir Bismuth Cheiron), Riley (Enigmai Sir Amatite Vesper), Hollie (Enigmai Lady Celonite Hera) and Charlotte (Enigmai Lady Celestine Leda) for 22th March; In Memorium to their sister Poppy (Enigmai Lady Lettsomite Uni).
For tomorrow it's Happy 6th Birthday to Ruby (Enigmai Lady Blende Camilla), Dash (Enigmai Sir Ballas Quirinus) and Bertie (Enigmai Sir Copal Autolycus). Together with all these memorable days we also remember our naughtiest (but funniest) cavalier Sasha (Tillington Chacha at Enigmai) who was unexpectedly taken from us far too early in her life.
10 Mar ~ Happy 6th Birthday to our own dear Abbie (Raifkoa Desdemona At Enigmai) today. Still as mad and playful as ever in spite of four litters and eighteen puppies; one of which is Oona who went for her first mating with Bertie yesterday ~ fingers crossed.
20 Feb ~ In Memorium today for Zolo (Enigmai Sir Dunite Hesperus) and Jonty (Enigmai Sir Sphalerite Fons) both from Sasha's (Tillington Chacha At Enigmai) litter in 2006.

Hard to think that we have been breeding these wonderful dog for 23 years.
24 Jan ~ Another day of memories as we remember our own dear departed Jade (Pacchibei's Sheer Magic At Enigmai) who was sadly lost to us at the height of the Covid pandemic after 12 years of joy (and naughtiness) with three litters producing seven puppies and her last puppy, Crystal, is still with us and a mother to ten puppies herself.
