Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

It's day 44 and mom brought me a surprise today. She brought me my boyfriend Quinn to play with. I don't know how long he is staying but I hope he will stay for a while. Mom even lets me run and play in the yard with him. I think Much is jealous, he is staying really close to me. He doesn't like it when Quinn gets near me - my overprotective brother!

Mom had these nice people and their children out yesterday to play with us. I played for a little bit and then I got tired and went into the cool garage and slept. For some reason I am sleepy all the time and want to eat everything and mom is feeding me! I like all the food and I really like when mom rubs my belly. It feels so good!

Well diary - I am going to go outside and play with Quinn. I just love that boy.

P.S. Sorry I didn't write yesterday, mom and dad got home late and I am not allowed to use the computer when they aren't home. I guess they just don't trust me.

Dear Diary,

Well, its day 42 since my date with Quinn and it is still raining. Mom won't let me go outside for long, she says I get too wet and track in too much mud, but I like the mud. If mom would let me I would stay outside and lay in the wet grass. It feels so good against my belly.

Mom fed me again today when she came home. I really like this midday meal. I love to eat and right now I seem to be hungry all the time.

Dad came home early today and I was really excited, I love when dad comes home early. I just love my daddy. He rubs my belly and says "grow those babies". I don't really know what he is talking about but when I wiggle my butt and howl he really like that.

Well, got to go - dad is feeding me again. I love all this food!

Dear Diary,

It's day 41 since my date with Quinn and I am feeling ok. Mom keeps telling me that I have a belly full of babies. Well, I don't know about that but I sure do like that mom is giving me more food when she comes home from work. I do feel a little tired and don't like to chase my ball as much and my belly is bigger. It seems that my belly has a mind of its own and swings when I walk. I have lost my girlish figure. That darn Quinn! But he was very cute and I would like to see him again...

Mom did a funny thing the other day, she took the cat away in the morning saying something about a wound on his rear. I think she is blaming my brother- ha ha, he will get in trouble. The cat came home that night and he was wearing this funny thing around his head and mom said we had to be nice to him and leave him alone. She even put the big gate up so we couldn't see him. I didn't like the thing on his head but mom said I couldn't take it off of him. The cat didn't like staying in his room so he jumped the gate and came to see me. Mom had to lock the cat up in the room. Oh well, he will be fine.

Well, it looks like it isn't raining now, I think I am going to try and get mom to take me out to play.

Puppies Due June 25, 2009

We are delighted to report that a belly full o'puppies have been confirmed via ultra sound.

2009 Puppies Anticipated

Nottingham Shilohs, in conjunction with Stall Europa, of Virginia is excited to announce the pairing of Ember and Quinn. Our expectations for the puppies from this pairing include suitability to excel at conformation, breeding, working and most certainly as loyal companions. We anticipate these puppies to excel at almost any activity an owner would want to pursue, from obedience to therapy work and also expect them to have medium-soft to medium temperaments.

These puppies will come from excellent blood lines as this litter combines pure old Shiloh lines via Quinn with the new blood of both Orbit and Artus via Ember. We anticipate healthy plush coated Shilohs with big bone structure, nice broad heads, great height, nice movement and a willingness to please. Pigment on these puppies should be exceptional. All health testing has been done and both parent dogs have passed with above average scores.

Keystone’s Scarlet’s Ember is a beautiful plush golden sable with rich pigmentation. She is a 3^rd generation double new blood, with Orbit from Keystones Jasper Jax O'Zion and Artus from Jersey's Midnight Run ODS Zion. Ember is big boned, has been blessed with a gorgeous broad head including great stop, and exhibits beautiful movement. To say Em has an exuberant personality is an understatement; this girl loves life and is willing to please. Ember is the perfect combination of Artus, Orbit and old line Shiloh. She inherits her stamina and heavy bone from the Artus lines, brings size from the Orbit lines and her intelligence and loyal nature from the old Shiloh lines behind her. This is her first breeding.

Sunstar's Mighty Quinn von Europa is the epitome of what a Shiloh Shepherd should be. He is a beautiful bi-black and silver plush coated Shiloh with incredible size, bone, a nice big broad head and great pigment. Quinn is a true gentle giant with impeccable bloodlines including Trinka/Shep, Mistie/Laz and Tessa/Bear, all in the third generation behind him. His stature and look resemble his grandmother Luna and her brothers Phantom and Simon. Quinn has inherited his father Elvis’ laid back personality and wants nothing more than to be with his people.

If you are interested and would like to own one of these Shiloh puppies, please contact Nottingham Shilohs. Applications and reservations are being accepted now.
