Scholar Litter November 27, 2006
At last all our College Scholars have gone to their new homes to start a whole new educational experience!!! What a learning curve they and their new families will ALL be on!!! The FIRST thing most will learn about is WARM weather and GRASS !!! The last 3 weeks of record setting cold in South Dakota made it VERY challenging to get the little darlings homeI I chose "College Scholars" as the theme for this litter to end an era and a decade of loving, enjoying, and raising ridgebacks as "Kollege Kennels Rhodesians" or KKR. Kollege Kennels Rhodesians, the name and the dream, has fulfilled a promise made - that the puppies three children raised, loved, and let go would someday see them off to college!! My human children are all off to college and out on their own, so it seems fitting that we move forward as well. The College Scholars are the last litter from Kollege Kennels. deep sigh. In the coming years and generations we are Kina Kabambe (pronounced Kee nah Kah bomb bay) Rhodesians at Kollege Kennels. Kina Kabambe means “Great Family” (Family Great to be exact) in Swahili. I can't wait to see what the next decade is going to bring with our canine family, but I hope it will include many more opportunities to continue to learn and explore all the many facets of this incredible breed. Our human family is growing with weddings and perhaps even HUMAN GRANDCHILDREN on the horizon - our own expanding Kina Kabambe!!! Still the same Rhodesian Ridgebacks, the same family, the same philosophy, the same commitment to excellence, still “KKR”. Kollege Scholars Graduates: The time has come, For closing books and long last looks must end, And as I leave, I know that I am leaving my best friend, A friend who taught me right from wrong, And weak from strong, That's a lot to learn, What, what can I give you in return? How do you thank someone, Who has taken you from crayons to bassoons?!! It isn't easy, but I'll try, If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters, That would soar a thousand feet high, To "Mom", with Love Goodbye Kollege Scholars! ~From both Moms with Love. Also, be sure to take a look at the "out takes" to see more puppy pictures that didn't quite make it onto the website. Missed a weekly progress report? That's okay, you can catch up here. |
