A Difficult Decision

Way back in August, during Puppy Class, it was mentioned that one of the volunteer opportunities was to raise "babies" who would go off to Puppy Raisers at about 5 to 6 months.

I have made the decision to do just that. Raise the babies. 8 weeks to about 6 months.

Hanny will be moving to Northern Virginia to live with a lady who goes to work each day. It's what Hanny needs. I can't offer her that. We get out each day, but the 2 or 3 hours is just not enough stimulation for Hanny any longer.

The plan this afternoon was for Hanny to go back with Jody early next week. A baby will come from NY in a few weeks. But as you know, this could change. I'll keep you updated.

Oh, it's snowing, but that's now considered normal weather here in the south!

What???

Will the person who took the last bag of Orville Redenbacher's Salt & Pepper popcorn from my kitchen cabinet please not leave the empty box giving me the impression there was more popcorn when there wasn't.

Thank you.

Comments & snow

To the person who is leaving comments that are little squares....We can't read them :)

And it's now snowing for the 4th time this winter. Sigh.....Is there a state in the US that doesn't have snow, or earthquakes, or tornados, or hurricanes or mudslides or over 100 degree heat that I can move to?

Snow Jan 30

Here's Hanny's second snow in pictures


Just out the back door. I'm not too sure...


It's kinda deep!



I found my ball!!!


I love snow!


There's more snow on the golf course.


I'm ready for the snowball fight!

I might get fired as a puppy raiser for this next picture, but I couldn't not take it.
We came in, I dried her off, she flopped down on her pillow and was asleep in seconds. I left her thinking she'd be okay for a few minutes and changed out of my wet clothes. I came back into the living room to this....


After I took the picture I carried her back to her pillow where she slept all morning.


And I love this picture.

Seems like old times

When my nieces were little, they would spend the night with me. We'd go places, fix dinner, watch movies on tv. We did the same thing this past weekend.

Check it out on Becky and Katie blogs.

Pictures of yarn, fiber, friends, food and Hanny!

And incase you wanted to know, ArtsyFish is blogging again.

A moment to myself

Take a look at this face



Doesn't she look like a little angel? Ha! She's a non stop, into everything, growing by leaps and bounds hellion! Just kidding, sorta. She'll be 4 months old on the 14th and is moving into the tween years.



Me? I'd forgotten about the tweens. Everything is exciting. Her training is going well. We're going out somewhere each day. Yesterday we stopped by the Library to watch electric doors open and close, sniff trash cans and then ignore them, and sit inside and watch books being checked out.

She loves being in the backyard.




And if she can't be ON the furniture she'll be UNDER the furniture.


When she arrived on Dec 4th, she was 11 pounds. A week later at the first vet check here she was 15.08 pounds. Last weeks vet check she was 23.08 pounds. And picking her up last night I think she's at least 25 now.

She has a pink nose from her fathers side. He seems to produce quite a few pups with pink noses even though his is black. And great eyeliner!



And right now she's sound asleep and I have a few minutes where I can sit and update my blog.



And I have been reading blogs, just not having time for commenting.
