Seven more days until the arrival of the pups. The preparation for the arrival of the Pumi rocket carrying the pups from Planet Pumi to Planet Earth has started.
The ETA of the Pumi Rocket with the pups is March 26, 2014. It has been traveling sixty days to get from Planet Pumi to Delhi NY on Planet Earth.

We went for a lazy walk with the dogs in the glorious sunshine today. We also took along 52-day very pregnant Fellalo Fulu Fruska. She’s been growing by the minute and her belly is like a reversed punching bag that is jabbed, shoved and jolted from the inside by a pack of inpatient rambunctious pups. She stopped, looked at her belly, pushed and scratched back and started moving again.
By the end of the walk she was somewhat exhausted and hot. I think we even heard the pups panting inside her. She stopped again stretched out on the snow and rolled a few times to cool down the wild bunch in her tummy.

We’ve gotten some short break on the farm but not from the weather… We are done with lambing and kidding ( no kidding…!?!?).
Fruska has slowly been ballooning her pregnancy to the end of its term. Nothing really is happening so we are just Waiting for Godot…
We’ve gotten 71 lambs and 9 goat kids. ewes and does are up in arms to protect their lambs and kids therefore, to avoid stress, herding is out of question at least until May.
There are some exciting plans for the spring and summer, however. We hope to start the new herding facility and along the way start the process of getting certified by AKC to start tests and trials.
But for now, we take life one step at a time until Fruska’s pups arrive.
Enjoy some recycled videos…

On the top of her career…
We’ve been back from Florida for close to two weeks and life is back to normal. Winter, snow storms, farm chores, holidays, and Beginner’s Agility training with renewed enthusiasm after Eukanuba 2013.
Since we are back, everyone looks at Fruska with increased curiosity (at least I wish to think so…)

…on the high road
Today, again, we drove through serious ice/snow storm to make it to our practice to Kingston 1 1/2 hours away. When I was on the court with Fruska, I think it was more quiet around and more eyes were locked on us than before the Eukanuba 2013 Invitational Agility Championship.
hoops…
She is not called the cute curly dog anymore, she is “The Pumi….”
taking the “Tube” to Kingston bye bye…

Look what have all the love, care, affection, nurture and training created? It seems that we’ve produced a group of highly skilled ruthless mercenaries.
Please watch it and decide yourself…

Some of you Pumi friends have expressed concerns about Akulipintyos Ag, the Pumi puppy who was featured in the last video that we’ve posted, diving into the pond. With this news video attached, we wanted to take all of you behind the scenes assuring you that Akulipintyos Ag is safe and sound. Thank you for your concern.

The brutal heat weave is gone thanks god and the temperature is back to its seasonal range. The pups are enjoying the cooler weather and they’ve become much perkier.
Perhaps too perky…
Enjoy!

For the Catskill Pumi Six it might by more appropriate that school has started, as they are the new pupils this fall.
The curriculum is truly enjoyable; “Learning with Fun.” We have been stretching the area we go to, so we they learn some recalls and walk on different surfaces. So if someone ends up in an urban home, he’ll know that it is OK to eliminate on asphalt if there is no grass around (trust me we’ve encountered endless cases like this in NYC during our many years of dog training). The dogs are happy and so far everybody is in the top of the class.

Here we are…eyes wide open, ears moving in the right direction and tails are curling as they supposed to. The Catskill Pumi Six have been growing according to schedule.
A few days ago still fragile little fur balls have been turning into mischievous “Betyars.” They’ve been running, wrestling and exploring the property further and further away from their designated base camp outside on the front lawn every day.
What the little rascals have not realized all this time, that we take full advantage of their freedom to begin their potty training and puppy manners. By the way, can your dog flush the toilette…?
Here they go on their 36th day…

What a glorious day today. We spent serious time with the dogs outside. Since their baby teeth started coming out, they have switched to biting and chewing mode. To take the bite out of their bites, we introduced them to the ancestral diet… Watch it and enjoy!
