Good afternoon, sweet friends and families!

We wanted to hop on and share a quick reminder with all of you. We're taking the weekend off from livestreaming -- both of our sweet puppies went home yesterday, and when the nursery is quiet, we like to take that time to rest and reset. 

In just a few weeks I'll be starting my new midnight shift job, and with Easter weekend upon us, we're soaking up some special family time while we can. Thank you all so much for your continued patience, love, and loyalty -- we feel it and appreciate it!

We'll be back to our regular streaming schedule after the weekend, with a renewed focus on our expecting mamas as they prepare for their upcoming litters. Their 4-week ultrasounds are just around the corner! 🩻 And stay tuned -- we'll be announcing the parents of our third litter after the weekend, and we can't wait to share the news!

I've linked Friday's stream, where you can join us behind the scenes of Tinlee's pickup and hang out with all of our girls as we help Myra say goodbye to her! 🐶♥️

Wishing you a beautiful and joyful Easter weekend -- we'll see you all in a couple days! 🐰🌷🌺

With warm hugs and Cavalier kisses, 😘
Elisabeth & Drew 

We’ve been really busy trying to get our taxes done by the end of the night, and time completely slipped away from us. I rescheduled today’s livestream for tomorrow afternoon since it’s already closing in on dinnertime. 

I’m so sorry to disappoint anyone. With the kids going to school and without any major commitments tomorrow, I am excited to bring the girls out to play in the dining room with their aunties and grandma! We are looking forward to a playful and fun day with Tinlee and Diana Bell! This will be their first time slipping and sliding on the slick floor! 😂🥰🐶♥️

I sat down in the pen with the puppies and invited several friends in to play for the first hour of yesterday’s stream, if you missed it - it was a lot of fun!

Good afternoon, friends and families! I am so sorry - for whatever reason, YouTube logged us out on our computer and we are unable to log back in. Now we are locked out on our computer, and since we “have more secure options” to reset our password, we can only get back in if their preferred 2-FA method will actually work. I’ve been fiddling with it for a couple hours and now I need a mental health break for my own sanity.

I’ve only ever had 2-factor authentication make life more difficult and never more secure. Nine  years ago I lost all of my photos, videos, everything on my Apple devices because my fingerprint suddenly wasn’t enough for who knows why. On a random Sunday afternoon, I needed both my fingerprint and the connect-the-dots pattern of which I couldn’t recall. I was locked out forever and lost all the baby photos and videos of my children - including the first 7 months of Matthew’s life. Poof. 💨 

I am so sorry; we will brainstorm ways to log back on - and we will find one!🤞But for now, I’m trying to locate my sanity because we really won’t be able to log back on without that.😩

We greatly appreciate your patience & understanding during this frustrating time. Now I’m going to try to enjoy some emotional support from these affectionate and loving snuggly puppies. 😉🐶🥰♥️

In the meantime, if you haven’t seen the video we made of Tinlee and Diana Bell’s playful antics yesterday, you can catch it below.👇

Happy Saturday! We apologize for going silent the last couple of days. We have been much busier than we expected to be, and unfortunately haven't been able to spend the time to get the livestream running in the midst of this thunderstorm that has been compromising our internet connection. In lieu of starting the unreliable livestream, we opted to record Tinlee and Diana Bell's fun afternoon to allow you a glimpse into their weekend. These are by far the most playful and affectionate puppies we've ever had! It's going to be really hard to say goodbye to them!

I hope you enjoy their shenanigans as much as we enjoy playing with them! 

Good morning to our wonderful community! I'm so sorry for the radio silence yesterday. Many of you are aware that we've had an unforgiving stomach bug running through the family in recent weeks. And now... it's been my turn. It was impossible to get out of bed yesterday after being up all night vomiting. Then, Prompt Care sent Drew over to the hospital for IV antibiotics after Mona bit his hand pretty well. When both adults are down, it's usually chaos in our house. I'm finally feeling a little better, so I wanted to update you all, let you know we hadn't forgotten about you, and also that I have a Dot & Nugget video in the wings. We will probably take the day off from streaming again today so that we can recover. We will return tomorrow!

The topic of maternal coping related to the demise of newborn offspring has been coming up, with Myra’s recent stillbirths. Myra has been exhibiting what appears to us as a form of grief that dogs experience. We do our best to help Mother Dog cope, but we are always learning new things. Like people, every mother dog is different.

Some of them don’t seem fazed much at all, while others seem to experience some stages of grief, including denial. When our Blenheim mother dog, Pom Pom, lost one of her three puppies a couple days after birth, she struggled to accept that her puppy didn’t make it. Despite being such a sensitive time, we captured some of this on video to show others how deeply dogs do feel. Video linked below.

Good evening, friends and families! I'm so sorry we abruptly lost the stream earlier. I have no idea why, but our internet went out. Without Drew here, it's been difficult for me to figure out how to fix. 

Unfortunately while dealing with that, I absentmindedly set down a gift card ($75😭) I was making pretty to give to Mae for her birthday tonight. Right when I realized it was no longer in my hands, I heard Bradley shouting "No Heidi! Oh my Gosh!" Heidini stood up on her back feet and swiped it off with her paw, chewing it up JUST enough to remove the very last digit (barcode is a goner). I know they're better for the environment but I've never been more frustrated with these cardboard gift cards! Had it been plastic it would have survived that short time between her teeth. 😒

It's been one of those days. I didn't want anyone to think I forgot about you or that we suddenly shut down the stream without warning. I'm afraid that restarting the stream tonight might only cause more headache, and we want to enjoy Mae's birthday without having to negotiate with the internet connection all evening.

Prospective Myra families - We will continue reaching out over the weekend! Don't be afraid to bump your message. I won't be offended because my ADHD thanks you!

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening and weekend! We will see you Monday morning with Myra's third trimester ultrasound! I'll set up the stream tonight so that the chat is available over the weekend to everyone. I am going to make some videos and may update the trailer to a new video this weekend... keep your eyes peeled!

With warm hugs and cavalier kisses,

Elisabeth 

Good afternoon, friends and families! This is just a friendly post to let you know that we won't be turning the livestream on today. Myra is doing great - super clingy like usual! We've just got a lot going on today and need to get some things done, especially with Mae's birthday coming up. We'll be live again tomorrow. Until then, enjoy some pictures of our spoiled and pampered Mama Myra from just a bit ago!

If you missed Myra's third trimester ultrasound from a couple days ago, you ought to catch it here:  https://youtube.com/live/TqRaaO-QKP4 

With warm hugs and cavalier kisses,
Elisabeth, Drew, and all the Red Barn Cavaliers! 

- Thank you to Emma Gemma for the really nice doggie bed & Starbucks dog toys! The dogs love their new bed and they’re already piling on top of it trying to break records!

- And a big thank you to Seas McFarlane for sending us such a wonderful doggie care package! The dogs have already tried the Veggiedent treats, and Heidi has been trying to sneak some of the other treats off the dining room table. 😆 

Thank you for taking the time and energy to send us such thoughtful gifts. We appreciate all of you guys so much, and we hope your holidays have been bright!

With warm hugs and cavalier kisses,
Elisabeth & Drew 

We want to give another warm thank you to Birdie’s family for sending us this thoughtful box of gifts! They packed up some small gifts for each of Birdie’s littermates, as well as a big box for our Mama dogs. I let Bella open the gift, and inside we found the dogs’ newest favorite bed! They sent us the cutest dog bed from Bedsure - I am a total sucker for the Christmas season and she sent us a gingerbread-color-schemed dog bed! I absolutely love it!! Thank you so much Brandi M & family!
