The babies got dry food today, haha they worked and work to swallow the dry bits.  Artie and Sugar managed to eat as much as everybody else considering they still have just one tooth each.  I feed them goo in the morning and night so they get plenty to eat.  Rene and Dottie feed them too.  How can they get cuter by the minute?

Kurt loves hair, it’s so fun to see him having such a good time pulling and tugging.  Puppy play is so cute, it’s hard not to spend all day getting puppy kisses but I do have a couple projects I have to work on, like putting this house back together and working on the new house.  I have yard work at the park too and we take the dogs to play at least an hour.  I had lots more time when I worked!! I’m still puzzled about that, when did I fit all this stuff in when at least 40 hours was used up??

Good thing Artie and Sugar only have one tooth each because they love to naw of the big girls haha ( that includes me and Harlee LOL) Just adorable! that Artie LOVES to bite ( naw) Gracie’s legs, he chases her all over and weaves in between her legs nipping each one, when she lifts that one up, he latches on to the next available. He is delightful! Sugar loves and always has Aunt Dottie, it’s adorable how they cuddle.  All of them are SO DARN CUTE!  it’s really hard for us not to favor Sue, she loves both me and Harlee and would rather sit on our laps than go eat.  She cries for us to pick her up😩 AGH HOW DO YOU RESIST THAT???  They all love us, but in every litter there is one who loves you best, one that’s extra hard to hand over.  She is going to Wisconsin to live with a PARRIS BABY, litter mate to our beloved Francis!! She will be a happy baby!

 
The babies love Harlees hair, they especially love getting tangled 😀 such adorable babies, we have really enjoyed them BOO HOO they are getting so big so fast! 😩 in just two short weeks most will go off to start their new lives.  Everyone will be VERY LOVED, PAMPERED AND ADORED ( I wish all dogs were).  Life is good, everybody is doing great.  Eating good and gaining weight.  They still get goo with the addition of ground cooked chicken hearts and gizzards, Artie and Surgar only have one tooth😋 

I’m pretty sure Dottie doesn’t know these are not her babies haha.  What a sweetie she is, they bite her and wallar all over her and still she begs to go see them, she is just precious!  Harlee and I have been getting the park ready for the reunion, I think the dog flu has died out enough so we can have our gathering😃 I taught her how to operate the riding mower so I was free to weed whack and plant some new trees.  Went much faster with a helper😀

Poppy has been with Pat and her baby Pebbles/Rosalie a year.  She’s a happy girl as QUEEN, something she couldn’t be here😕 she wags all day, smiles and sleeps on the bed next to her beloved Pat😍 we miss her antics she’s an amusing girl😄

All’s well here the contractors have replaced the ceiling drywall and are doing texture tomorrow and painting.  After that floors and refinishing the stairs.  I’ll be so glad when it’s done.  The pups get hot upstairs, they would much rather be on the cool tile.  They are zipping in and out the dog door, it doesn’t take them long to figure it out SO SMART😄

 
Tom and Mindy have been fixing up their house in Lake City to sell.  They leave the girls here so they don’t have to worry about where they are.  They love the park so unless it’s raining we go over for a good romp.  Both Lexie and Rosalie are GLEEFUL and run laps so happy to be loose.  For the time being they live in Rockford with no play yard😞 we are happy to have them join us😃

 
Omg these babies get cuter by the minute! And in just three short weeks they will be off to join their new families!! Finn and Cameo will be staying a couple extra weeks while their family goes on vacation, both Harlee and I are happy about that😀 Dennis will be here for a week too, we can’t wait to see him!  

It looks like the dog flu is dying down only a couple cases here and there so even though it has hit a few more states there are only a couple cases.  YEAH I REALLY DIDNT WANT TO CANCEL 😩 but I didn’t want to put anybody at risk either.  Three more weeks, we can’t wait!!

 
Happy in Dallas is our Patti Sue and Ruben babies Big/ Henri and Penny/Chloe with all the flooding they have had there are lots of critters to hunt😀 what a team they are!  So beautiful! I love seeing Gracie’s siblings, you can sure spot them! 

I’m happy/ sad about the contractors being here.  Naturally it has to be the worst timing possible with eight babies to move around.  Thankfully the guys work really fast so hopefully this will be over soon and we can get back to our usual routine.  Harlee will be SO HAPPY TO HAVE HER ROOM BACK!  water damage sucks!

I made the babies a corral on the upper deck so they could be outside in the morning,  they like being upstairs but it gets hot upstairs and they prefer it being a little cooler.  Grace plays with them and they chase Rene and Dottie all over to eat non stop😀 they are starting to play and learning what is not acceptable puppy behavior is.  They really get mad at each other but no one is dominant or shy.  They have wonderful personalities, full of kisses😍😘
