JT's Petey Girl (pictured) gave birth to nine Maryville Rumble* puppies yesterday. Wheelie Cool had ten. And reports from the Cahill and O'Connor Kennel is that they also had ten born yesterday! That is a lot of little Rumbles! This is Petey's first litter. Her mom, Miz Joy Lynne, was not only a great racer but also a great producer for me. She lived out her days in retirement in my house until her death. This whelp was very special to me and I must admit I cried like a baby when Petey produced her first beautiful pup. A brindle female with a white collar of fur around her neck. Joy Lynne will now live on through her grandbabies!

Now we look forward to the whelps of KB's Curly Q (Howe), DC Brenda Lee (Curry/Block) and Greys Tarmac (D'Arcy). The sires in order are Deco Deano, Fine Silver* and Maryville Rumble.

A new Rumble pup just hit the "backside" with outstanding results! Randy Finegan's Wanna Rumble won it's first 3/8ths start on the tough Derby Lane oval! Congrats to Randy!

Linda Russi will be here in the coming weeks to spend some time with her pup, Lacey, (Fine Silver* x Jr's Prelude) and learn how the farm operates. She should be able to also witness Curly Q's whelp!

I am off to go check on the oodles of newborns! All seem to be doing well. Wheelie Cool is a veteran and Petey seems to have embraced motherhood.
