So let me tell you who these folks are. The first dude is His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama with his Tibetan Terrier, Senge. The next photo was taken in 1974 and it features a refugee in Kathmandu with puppies for sale. Following that is one of the earliest breed photographs from 1926. It features Bunty (on the right) and her daughter Chota Tukra of Ladkok. The next handsome beau is Tashi in England, 1967. The happy threesome is Bunti, in the center, with her sons Ja-Haz (left) and Burrah Sahib. I understand that these three dogs were the basic foundation for the breed. The two little cuties are from the first official litter born in the US. This was in 1957. And the final photo is a vintage litter of pups with their lady friends. Pretty cool pics.
If you're looking for a more basic book about us TT's, I recommend Tibetan Terrier, A Complete and Reliable Handbook. The author is Anne Keleman and it is put out by T.F.H. Publications. It talks about living with a TT, grooming a TT, puppy's new home and a bunch of other things. My parents received it as a gift.It's a beautiful day here. I got up early, fed the pups, and took a walk with Roxie and Angus. When we got back, my dad cleaned up the whelping box and refreshed the linens. To be honest, I keep it darn clean myself, but it makes them feel useful so I don't say anything. And who doesn't like fresh linens? I heard a rumor that Angus and Roxie are going to get baths today. I think I am getting a reprieve. Actually, I love the water and am a very good swimmer. I started as a baby in Lake Michigan. Angus likes it as well, but he's still working on his technique. And Roxie, well, let's just say that she has other interests.
Hi Suddie; Here we are again in Palm Springs in the house where we first played around the pool. Now I don't have anyone to play with here except my Dads and they don't want to play with me as long as i want. But, they say soon I may have some one to play with, I think it is going to be one of our puppies. Sounds like the puppies are growing fast and that you are taking good care of them. I can't imagine how difficult it is, with 7 of them, to keep in line and well fed. Glad to know how you got your name, very interesting. I think your dad told us where the name Deep Acres Farm came from but we forgot.
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the truth, I don't much like the water. Oh, I forgot the time I had a good time on the beach in Mexico. We were walkin on the beach and Dad let me off the leash and then all these birds were around and flying over the waves. I decided I wanted to chase them. So I had a great time! Got in the water and the waves were very strong. Both my Dads got all worried that I would get carried out to sea and they would never see me again. But, I managed to survive and I did have a great time. Guess I was a mess after that, with the salt water and all the sand. But the truth is I don't much like the water. Well keep up the good work. Lots of Love. TOBY
