Baby it's Cold Outside!

Some early morning pics of  Jack Frost 's beautiful handiwork on our cold and frosty Raven ranch.

The door was shut, as doors should be,

Before you went to bed last night;

Yet Jack Frost has got in, you see,

And left your window silver white.

He must have waited till you slept; 

And not a single word he spoke, 

But pencilled o'er the panes and crept 

Away again before you woke. 

For, creeping softly underneath 

The door when all the lights are out, 

Jack Frost takes every breath you breathe, 

And knows the things you think about. 

He paints them on the window-pane 

In fairy lines with frozen steam; 

And when you wake you see again 

The lovely things you saw in dream. 

Jack Frost

Ash's boy "the Jazz man" AKC, UKC CH " Sufat Sheleg Jasper's Dubhan "Jasper"

I had some recent inquiries about "who is that boy?" in Ash's first litter posted on the "Ziva" The Diva - Ash's dynamic daughter (Part One and Two) blog.  To view those posts Click the links at the bottom of this post.Well, he is two-year old AKC, UKC CH " Sufat Sheleg Jasper's Dubhan "Jasper". "Jasper", known as the "Jazz man" is lovingly owned by Cathey Dunn in Colorado. Ash's son "Jasper" has earned both his AKC and UKC championships, a Group 1 placement in a UKC show, and garnered an AHBA herding title. He ranked number two in 2012 out of the Canaan Dogs in the UKC Top Ten List."Jasper" was the only boy in the Macc X Ash 2010 litter. He willingly put up with three sisters and was a sweetheart to raise on the ranch. His expressive and soulful eyes said it all:-)


Some rambling pics for my inquires of Master "Jasper" at home on the range before flying out to his forever home with Cathey in Colorado.
