Site Updates at Gryffyn's Aeyrie

Been spending part of the holiday taking pictures, editing pictures and getting them uploaded to the Gryffyn's Aeyrie site. There have been several other updates as well not posted to the blog - so check it all out through the updates page at http://gryffynsaeyrie.com/updates.htm

Picture Updates

Over the past couple months I have added BUNCHES of pictures to the Gryffyn's Aeyrie web site - show pix and various candids and puppy pictures. The latest photos were some stacks of J/T taken while we were attending the ASFA regional invitational on Thanksgiving weekend (including the lovely face shot to the left). Photos from the LSBC specialty show, puppy updates, even the 2007 Silkenfest photos that I recently (finally) ordered from Shot on Site (just kept putting it off - since I knew I was going to be ordering waaaaaay too much!).

So check out the updates page for a listing of updates with direct links to the goodies.

Heathens, Photo Ops and Web Update

Wandered about the yard attempting to take candids of pups gone wild. Sassi's and Duri's pups that remain here were introduced to each other and after teaching Azchyl that little Munch was not, errrr, munchable - they played amiably for a few hours, part of which had me roaming about with them trying to snag some good photos. I did manage a little group shot of Sassi's crew together...


Left to right is J/T, Shugah and Munch.

Managed several stacked candids and some on the move. Nox was determined to plant her hiney on the ground at all times, especially when the camera lens was pointed in her direction, so when Victor returned home he got recruited to stack her for a decent shot. It seems like we've never had a proper stacked picture of her - she is maturing so nicely, along with her sisters Azchyl and Pumpkin.

All the new pictures are now posted online at the Gryffyn's Aeyrie web site!

Spells Pups - 5 Week Photos

Attempted some 5-week stacked photos of the "Spells" puppies and came out with some nice ones - one of our better sessions! I am thrilled that the little girl I've had my eye on since day 1 - the fiery redhead - is looking quite nice structurally as well. She has been christened "Pumpkin" as a nickname. Couldn't help myself when someone referred to her coloring as similar to a pumpkin! You can see the new stack pix starting at the bottom of this page of our web site.

the Arrival!

I am oh-so-late in updating things here thanks to being on the road (and offline) and ill and exhausted since my return. Ugh. But we have plenty of FABULOUS news to share! First is the blessed arrival of 9 puppies (4 boys, 5 girls) via natural delivery beginning around 2 pm on Sunday, September 2.


I had left for Colorado that morning and Victor handled the whelping, phoning me at each arrival (when he could - there were times I was in one of those wonderful cellular black holes of nowhere). There were 11 pups total, but 2 were stillborn. The theme for the litter is Harry Potter Spells - since after several failed attempts to get Duri bred, it was almost magickal when she became pregnant this time around!

New Web Site

Well I finally started to make use of another one of the domain names in my library...silkenwindhounds.net. I put up something of an abbreviated site highlighting our Silkens, with pointers to the main Gryffyn's Aeyrie site for further details. It was pretty much an excuse both to try and drive more traffic to the G-A site, and to play with another design.
