The Chocolate Goddess has arrived

March 18th 2009 at 11:00am Emma delivered the most beautiful chocolate bay tobiano filly sired by our very own Chocolate Domino. We are naming this filly after the Goddess of Chocolate "Ixcacao"(Esh kako). Since she is as sweet as chocolate and has all the colors to meet all the flavors of chocolate white for white chocolate, brown for milk chocolate, and black for dark chocolate. Ix also stands for little one or little girl, little woman. Here is a website that has the story of the Goddess of Chocolate http://www.goddessgift.com/goddess-myths/Mayan-goddess-chocolate.html. Its a pretty neat story and boils down to ''The Goddess of Chocolate reminds us that a luxurious world unfolds before your eyes if only you will take a moment to still your "busy-ness" and rejoice in those things which give you pleasure.'' So this filly represents the pleasure in my life.

Of course a picture of Chocolate himself. Chocolate is standing at stud for 2009. Please check out the website for more info www.vermontel.net/~lwheelock

Doggie News

I have been so busy training horses, raising children, and working on our land. Yes in the near future Paint The Summit Farm will be moving south. About a half an hour south of our current location. Very exciting but a lot of work as we are building everything ourselves.


The end of January our Chocolate Labrador Retriever Sam met up with his first girl friend. Shadow a very beautiful Black Labrador Retriever her and her family were looking for a mate. So the Beginning of April Sammy and Shadow may have there first litter of AKC reg Labrador Retriever puppies.




With meeting Shadow our family fell in love with her and missing the puppy Sam use to be. Over winter vacation from school we went to look at a litter of black lab puppies and of course we couldn't just look and came home with a beautiful little girl we have named Blackberry Wheat.

Here is the funny thing this pup was born 12-19-08 and was named Blackberry Wheat after a Beer And Sam's Summer Ale was also born March 29, 08 also named after a beer, and our filly born in April of 2008 was named Strawberry Rose Wine. 2008 was a funny year for a cool beverage. Mike says we can call the kennel The booze hound kennel and we'll only brew up the finest puppies in a few years as the labs are in training to be the best they can be hunting, service, agility and of course the best family dog ever.

Have a great day.
