Every dog should

be this lucky! On a "comfort scale" from one to ten - she's a ten!

My boy

This is our boy, Spotts. Sweeter than the chocolate color. He needs a turn on my lap too! Yes, those are "bedroom" eyes - look out girls!

A Sure Sign of Spring

While sitting on our deck last weekend enjoying the day, we noticed a female robin flying into one of our trees with bits of grass and twigs. She contructed a wonderful home. Now, she's layed her eggs - there are four. Does anyone know how many days before they hatch?

Who is Top Dog?

First we see Cooper going over "house rules" with Willow.

Next picture it looks like Willow is telling Cooper "Just lay down and be quiet". What do you think?

It's rare that you'll see any other breed than a Cocker on this blog, but I had to share this! He doesn't even look like he's sorry ~~ I think he's smiling for the camera. LOL

I just can't look . . .

What did they put on my paw? Did I get my diploma? Are you sure?? I just cannot stand the thought of wearing this gown and trying to balance this cap on my head if I didn't pass.

Whew! That was too close. You can see more of my graduation pictures at Stonebroke Gardens.

My name is Teddy ~ I hope they didn't put Theodore on my diploma ~ Please visit me.

how many dogs - people can fit

Okay, Rainy afternoon - just how many dogs and/or people can fit in a crate? This looks like fun today - maybe not tomorrow! This is Smoke, Mercedes and me -- Both Smoke and Mercedes let me know it is "off limits" here-- no humans allowed! LOL

Rain wants to be in the picture too ~

Well, if you have ever met our Rain, you know she has to be in the middle of everything. This was the day Willow went home with her family. I think Rain is trying to decide if she wants to go with them ~~ sorry, Rain. We would miss you to much!

Willow Won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Willow won the photo contest for April on K-9Stud.com - Thanks to everyone who voted for her. There was do doubt in my mind that she should win - Thank you Doug and Renee for giving her such a special home --- Love, Lois

Our Beautiful Chocolate girl is the Princess

Did you notice this beautiful chocolate puppy on our Home Page?

She was an "only child" born in 2007 to our Zoe Rose - Zoe's last litter.

Being such a special puppy, she had to have a very special home. That's how we met Maria and Barb - it was love at first site! Brandi has everything any puppy could hope for, and it has to be pink - from her leash to her pink satin coat!

They came back last summer for a wonderful visit. I hope they come back again soon. It's Maria holding Brandi in the chair. Just three girls out for a visit on a Sunday afternoon!

Just How Far Is the East from the West?

~One scarred hand to the other~

For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our rebellious acts as far away from us as the east is from the west.

Have a Blessed Easter -

Willow after her bath - getting ready for nite nite

First a bath - I don't think she is too happy! Am I right?



Then time to snuggle with her big brother, Cooper -- few minutes more, and it's time to snuggle in her blankie and off to dreamland - Good night,Willow!
