Happy Birthday Mom!

My dad came home from his fishing vacation on thursday, so he came down to visit, and we went out for lunch. Today is my mom's birthday! Happy birthday Mom! Love you! Lucky friday the 13th.

My mom and my sisters Haley and Katie.

And what would a birthday ode be without an embarassing photo!

I can just see that I will be getting an email..."you'd better take that photo down now!"

Both Storm and Karma are in their new homes now. We miss them here!

Fudgie is doing very well with her training. She has mastered playing fetch and bringing the ball right back to us. She loves it...but will definitely do anything for a treat! She is asleep beside Macie right now in the living room. They are constantly wrestling each other. When raising 2 puppies at once, it is best to separate them for short times to work on their training individually. Otherwise the are just interested in playing with each other! It isn't hard. Just 10 or 15 minutes of individual time each, a few times a day. Makes life so much easier! House training...now that they are learning together. And the star student is definitely Fudgie. Macie for some reason, still doesn't get the full concept of the crate. Whereas, Fudgie has had that mastered since 6 weeks old. Both of them know that they have to do their business outside! Yesterday and today though, no accidents for either of them! We just let them out in the front yard with us. Neither of them have any interest in going far from the house. The fence isn't up yet, but they do not run away or anything like that. They don't go past my vegetable garden and come right back when they are called. They really like to just stay right with us, which is great.

Here are a couple of pictures of Fudgie and Macie today!
