See How Callie has Grown!

This is Callie's picture when she first arrived at her forever home - I am really glad they got her the "big" bed so there is room for all of these toys!
I love this photo taken in early November - every princess should have her own throne. Just a guess here, but I think she's been on this chair before!

Look what a beautiful girl she's growing into! This is her Thanksgiving picture with her cousin, Tucker. Thanks so much for sharing!

Merry Christmas Cheyenne

I was thrilled to check the e-mail this morning and find a wonderful message from Cheyenne and her family. Cheyenne is puppy from our Ivy and Spotts. Three smiling faces to usher in the joy of the Christmas season!

Message: Hi Lois, Hope this finds you all well and getting excited about the Christmas season. We all just wanted to wish you and your family Merry Christmas. We are all doing just fine. Cheyenne continues to make us laugh every day. She is so funny and has the best personality.We hope you all have a very blessed and Merry Christmas.Love,Kelly, Steve, Madysen, Matthew and Cheyenne

Cockers are too smart to shop!

Well, I was at Wal-Mart before 5:00 a.m. this morning - how about you?

The amazing thing was there was a million other nuts there before me! I did manage to find my bargains and made it back home safely. The cocker kids and I are staying home the rest of the day! I think they'll do their shopping online - lol!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Turkey is in the oven - the aroma has all of the 2 and 4 legged creatures in our home anxiously awaiting dinner. Our family wishes you all a blessed Thanksgiving - no blessing is too small to remember and to give thanks - Have a wonderful day -- Lois

Going to Work has it's perks!

Ah, yes -- working with the family everyday can wear a puppy out. There's the phone calls, the e-mail, the sales people coming and going. What is a puppy to do when he is just "dog tired" - well -- scroll down

Too tired??? - just take a power nap in my dad's arms. We both needed a break. Just one of my many perks!

Friday, Jr at Work

Friday, Jr goes to work everydaywith his family. He has made a new friend with the UPS driver.

He goes to great measures to make sure he doesn't miss the UPS pickup.

Look at me!

My first trip to the groomers - not too bad -- got my nails clipped, a bath, and a little trim! I feel good and look GREAT! I'm getting ready for "turkey day". Love Pebbles

Do you have an extra doggie treat?

This beautiful 5 month old buff girl needs a home -- fast. She's in New York now but could be here with you if you have an open heart -- Please click here to see more of her and her story - God Bless You, Sophie Ann . . .

R U Thirsty

Here is our litt Friday, Jr - This pup probably has atleast 100 toys, and yet - he loves an empty water bottle -- just like the kids who play with the package and forget their toy! LOL. Friday,Jr. and his family are back in Chicago this week. So many homes - but always with someone who loves him!

Murry and Nittany

Here's our little Murray - you might remember him as "Gene Kelly"! He found his perfect name and his perfect home. Murray lives with cats so I am really happy that Nittany stops to visit. Just so he doesn't lose his identity ~~ lol He's growing up to be such a handsome boy and doesn't lack for chew toys! Life is good ~~

Allie & Haley Checking in from Cape Cod

We were surprised with a nice note from Allie. This picture was taken on the day she and her family picked up Haley. She's a Storm/Spotts puppie from 2008. They are from Cape Cod. Here's what she had to say -

Note from Allie:
HI this is Allie Way. Haley is the best dog we have ever had! She is doing really well. Shes gotten so big now. My family loves her. Shes a snuggle bunny. Well we would love to here from you. Allie

Charlie's portrait

This is Charlie - He belongs to Connie Probst of Grumble Rock Cockers. Charlie is the father of both of Mercedes litters. That means they have 7 puppies together.

Mercedes supervisor for the day

Winter is coming - it's already November, and we've seen snow on the ground. Mercedes is helping us out split wood for winter. Here she is checking on the equipment. Safety first - check out the engine.

Now, this is the hard part. She has to make sure these two guys are working. No breaks allowed! She's tough but fair.

They couldn't have done such a good job without her constant supervision! (She's also on guard duty - you never know when you might see a squirrel!

Pebbles first Halloween

Here I am with my sister checking out the pumpkins - I want the biggest one ~ I am the baby, and I should get to pick first. Baby's first Halloween - you know . . . then it will be baby's first Thanksgiving, first Christmas -- you get the idea. I've got my plan, and I'm sticking to it.

As soon as she leaves, the big one is mine! Can you believe my family grew these just for me? What a great family I have.
