spay/neuter tomorrow!

Well I am off to bed now! It's been a long day with Milo deciding to get up at 6:30 am. He is so thoughtful! I got back from tutoring about 1/2 an hour ago. Jake had already bathed Kiley and Finnigan so they are all clean for their spay/neuter tomorrow morning.

We also got a new visitor today. Another Finnigan or Finny for short is here for babysitting! I will have to take new photos of him, but this was his going home picture a month ago! He is lightening up so much, and his eyes are just beautiful! He is with us until next monday! He has reunited with Panda and they are the best of friends again...anyone who can keep up with Panda and tackle her back is a new best buddy!

garden helpers!

Today I planted a few vegetables in the garden. I had a few helpers...


Kiley acting all innocent....she doesn't fool anyone!



Finnigan...his fur covers all of his dirt!




And Blaze's babies resting after their bath yesterday!

quick update...again!

Sorry for the delay! It's been a pretty busy last couple of days. We have been having neighbor issues AGAIN! This time it is a different neighbor. It is exhausting dealing with it. They want to cut down cedar trees on the property line and make them fall into our yard. No thanks. They also want a new fence put up on their side, so now we will have 2 fences side by side literally. A fence on top of a fence. They are taking back their 30 inches behind their garage that they originally said ok to us using. It's all just stupid. This is why I've always lived in the country....no neighbors to deal with! On thursday the neighbors took down a portion of the fence without telling me. Good thing I noticed before letting all of my dogs out for a pee break! I couldn't believe that they did that. There was no need because the new fence still isn't close to being finished and the part that they took down is the last thing to do! Jake rushed home because I had to leave to meet my mom at the airport, and he hooked the chainlink all back up.

On Friday Jake and I went out to Shakespeare's for dinner. They have the BEST service of any restaurant I've ever been to...and just amazing food! I'm still salivating just thinking about it!

On saturday we had a few puppy families come and visit. Jake spent the rest of the afternoon tilling up the lawn and digging out my new vegetable garden! We will be filling it today with top soil and hopefully getting all of the planting done. I have to tutor today so that breaks my day up a bit.

All of the puppies are doing well though! Blaze's puppies are eating nicely...well it's very messy, but at least they are getting it! Kiley and Finnigan will be spayed and neutered this week, and next weekend Milo won't have his 2 buddies here to play with anymore, as they are going home!

new pictures of Blaze's babies!

Blaze's puppies starting eating some food yesterday. They LOVE it! They all get right in the bowl and then everyone ends up licking each other's faces! They are now 3 1/2 weeks old and they don't spend as much time with mom. We have them in an xpen during the day, and then they are still sleeping with their mom at night. She visits a few times during the day to stay with them too. Next week they will take their first steps outside!

The Girls.




The Boys.





And Jersey's fat babies!

The Boys.

They are so adorable!

Jake is at Canadian Tire right now picking up an air conditioner! Our 2 ceiling fans just aren't doing the job and keeping our house cool! Hopefully it will be up and running when I get back from tutoring this evening!

Milo, Kiley and Finnigan went to the vet today for their vaccinations. They did awesome. Finnigan weighed 5.13 lbs, Kiley weighed 6.13 lbs, and Milo weighed 9.14 lbs.

hot day!

It has been such a gorgeous day again! Hot though, and definitely makes me jealous for central air! Today we gave the dogs their kiddy pool. They all had a blast running through it and playing with the hose. Blaze goes bananas when you spray her with the hose. She jumps infront of it and bites at the water so much...it has to be going straight down her throat! But she loves it! We are trying to get Panda to like the water...just enough so that she will tolerate a bath. She hates it but every day we will make her walk through the little pool and put some water on her back. Baby steps!

Right now Jake is outside building my vegetable garden. The dogs get the back yard so I have to have all of my plants and flowers in the front yard. I'm so excited for planting and gardening this year. Flowers are a huge passion of mine. That reminds me...I will have to post photos of my orchids soon!

All of the dogs are just playing outside or inside...puppies are sleeping with their moms and Kiley, Finnigan and Milo are running around Jake in the front yard!

Happy May 2-4!

Today I took Molly and her 10 babies to my mom's house. I was just babysitting her and now she is back with my mom where the puppies will be raised. When I was there I took new pictures of Tink and Ginger's babies!

These are Ginger's 5 babies...

What a beautiful day!



Gosh it is such a wonderful day! I love this warm weather! Jake has been putting a new roof on a friend's house for the past 3 days and he definitely got some sun! I took a whole bunch of photos today of all the puppies here. Please excuse my nail polish!

The girls.




The boys.




Some brotherly love!

Mona's puppies love playing outside!




Doesn't Milo look stuffed though?!
