Afghans By Rodin

Sorry for the VERY long absence in posts. Life has gotten so incredibly busy this is the last thing I can manage to get to.
Not a whole lot to post about. Since last year we've only done a couple of shows and haven't done a whole lot in them to brag about. Camille got her first two points about 2 months ago which we are of course, very pleased about. It's a start.
We have our Italian girl now. She's been here since last October and growing up to be quite stunning if you can get past ALL the coat. I have finally gotten her up on the site., No pedigree yet. I'm having trouble trying to get the link connected. Hopefully that will be resolved soon.
Adonis has been home growing up and maturing this past year. We don't have alot of plans for showing him until likely next spring or summer. He still needs a little more coat and will wait for his sister to finish. Same with Talara. She is going to be quite slow to mature so we're giving her time. At a year, she still hasn't gone into season so no real saddle or adult coat as of yet.
We have no immediate plans for a litter. We'll be spending the rest of this year into next year completing the renovations on our current house so as to put it on the market, hopefuylly, next year so we can get construction started on our new place. This all depends on the market next year. The new place with be complete with indoor/outdoors kennels, the works!! We're pretty excited aboiut this endeavor. We've purchased 4 acres of land about an hour from us way out in the country. We love it there and the dogs will too. Lots of room, peace and quiet, no more summer residents and noise and other dogs hanging around. The perfect place to raise these guys in peace and contentment. I'll be putting up pictures as the place takes shape. For this year our only goal is to get the well and the septic in. Maybe the kennels up. We have yet to purchase a tractor so we can at least clear the land.
The new baby (well not quite new, she's a year old now) keeps us plenty busy so all things in good time.
I'm hoping to get a new pciture of Adonis up in a week or so.
The sad new for this post is that last Decmeber 2007 we lost our beloved India to a sudden cancer. Before we knew what she had she was gone from our lives. We still mourn her to this day. She was very special to us and we're lucky to have a couple of her kids around. We hope they do her proud in the future. We're hoping to have a little India when Camille is finally bred. That likely won't be until at the earliest summer of 2009. All that will be posted in good time.
Well that's about it for now. Hopefully more news as the months progress.
Till then, cya at the shows.
