Port. Esp. & Gib. Ch. Waseley the Melodee by Kewstoke ~ UK Kennel Club registration changed to Portugal and re-registered with the Clube Portugues de Canicultura
KEWSTOKE ~ This affix has been registered to me with the UK Kennel Club since 1985. Time now to apply to the FCI to use it in Europe and Portugal. Application sent to Clube Portugues de Canicultura and FCI (Federacao Cinologica Internacional).
February 2012
On Valentine's Day I flew to Budapest with Phoebe ~ Pt. Esp. & Gib. Ch. Waseley the Melodee by Kewstoke for a mating with Agnes Ardelean's handsome boy
Chester ~ ISCH, CH. Sangerfield Earldom First. The puppies will be due 21st April.
March 2012
9th March ~ I visited the UK for Crufts and shopping, great time with friends & family. Esther & Phoebe stayed at home and enjoyed having Julie and Martin come to look after them.
23rd March ~ Confirmed the pregnancy for Phoebe. We are very excited and looking forward to their arrival.
25th March ~ Letter from the Clube Portugues de Canicultura to say that 'Kewstoke' has not been approved by the FCI as an affix that I can use to register the puppies here in Portugal. That's disappointing for me as 'Kewstoke' has been with me for many years and I am loath to loose it, however TARANSAY is approved and I quite like it. It's just that everyone recognises me with Kewstoke, so it will take a while before the new name is familiar.
April 2012
Enquiries are arriving for puppies... I am taking names and preferences and then we must wait to see how many of each are born.
7th April ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY 13 YEARS OLD TODAY to Esther (Kewstoke Claonia)... These are some birthday photos of the Birthday Babe.

Phoebe's life in photos this week
20th April 2012 ~ The puppies arrived today, emergency C section. Phoebe is recovering well and 3 puppies are thriving. 2 dogs and 1 bitch.
22nd April ~ The puppies are all gaining weight and growing very fast, more photos soon.
1st May 2012 ~ Esther has a fascination for Phoebe's puppies and would like very much to help, at this stage Phoebe won't tolerate that. When they are more like little doggies I am certain she will welcome a baby sitter. In the meantime, Esther accompanies me everywhere to keep her occupied and not left out, while Phoebe is busy being Mummy.

3rd May 2012 ~ The puppies eyes are open and they are starting to creep, just a couple more days and they will be walking. The little girl is very talkative!
COOPER TROOPER ~ JAN'S BOY
4th May 2012
Today we are all heart broken as our special friend Cooper has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. XXX
31st May 2012 ~ The puppies are 6 weeks old and totally gorgeous. The family is happy, Esther loves them when they are sleepy, Phoebe adores her puppies and is tolerant and attentive. Saffie can't quite make out why they change so quickly, but she is calm and takes all their antics in her stride and refuses to be chased!
My friends visit often and spend their time just smiling ~ excellent therapy.
