Puppies Due in a Week

Last night I could feel the puppies kicking. Ellie's needing her back scratched a lot since she can't reach anymore. Leftover steak for her breakfast this morning, with dog food crunched in. Yep, it's time to resume posting here!

Ringo Visits

Ringo came to play, and he's so much like his brother Harold from the first litter, it's astounding. Genes! We love Harry, so Aron and Narissa are lucky. They wondered what they ever did before Ringo!

A must-have wooden pin brush for detangling

Went to the Rocky Mountain Dog Show yesterday, down at the stock show grounds. It was so much fun to see all the dogs. McKenzie's fav's are the Irish Wolfhounds. She'd like to see Harry that size.

At the Chris Christensen booth we found the best brush yet for Harry. It works superbly on his thick coat. It's the Chris Christensen Wood Pin Brush (small 7.5 inches, $25 at Cherrybrook pet supplies online. It will make any of our doodles with the luxurious poodle coats gorgeous. It's for detangling, and it's gentle so Harry rolled over on his back to have us do his belly too.

Josie and the Balloon

It just figures Josie would HOLD the string, and OBSERVE the balloon!!!!! She is one smart puppy.

Hugo's update

Maria Camp says Hugo is doing great. He's taller than her knees and between 40-45 lbs at almost 5 months. They ran into Rocky at the dog park and played like crazy, then Alice's dad, John Davis, spotted them at the bank. John thought to himself, "Hmm, I know I just left Alice at home...." The two puppies look so much alike! Alice, being a girl, is slighter, lighter, more streamlined. Anyway, Maria and John made a playdate for Alice and Hugo, and that's where the photo in the snow was taken.

Snow and cold.... I can't believe it's only been a month since we were in Cabo! Take me back!!!

Ringo Visits

Aron and Narissa brought Ringo by for a visit yesterday! I was so sorry to miss them, but Geoff was here and took pictures. McKenzie and I just oohed at them when we got home from Walmart! Ringo looks so much like Harry! That NOSE! That LOOK! OMG, he's so SWEET!

Geoff said Aron and Narissa are just like the best of new parents. They take him to socialize with other doggies at some Petco get togethers. And he was so intelligent here, just listening to everyone and taking it all in. He remembered the dining area where he grew up, and sorted thru the toy basket, and got a snack from the food bowls.

Hugs to that boy, Aron & Narissa!!!! Bring him back again!
