Almond Joy Invites you

to view the new pictures on the website - one week old!

I know my name!

I finally have a name ~ do you want to guess?

Clue #1:  I am a sweet treat

Clue #2:  my name is another word for chuckle - since that's what my Mama Birdie is doing - since she was the only one that knew I was going to born!

What's my name? 

p.s. for Birdie

We'll take pictures tomorrow - and update the website.  Of course, he is available - we didn't know he was coming!  He's a striking bl/wh tri boy - we're working on a name for him -- Any suggestions?

Birdie's Big Surprise

Birdie was bred a day or two after Mercedes - Mercedes had her puppies on October  20th.  There was no sign of pregancy with Birdie - well -- it was a well hidden secret!  At 6:00 p.m. she had a puppy - no long hours of labor - no watching her like a hawk - she simply had a puppy - I was running vaccum!

Birdie was bred to Charlie - who came out of retirement for this event -- Hats off to Charlie and Birdie - Is today April Fools?  I feel like a fool!

Baby Ruth found out her real name today

Here's the proud mama with her kids - don't mind my messy bedroom -

When little Clark's family visited on Saturday, they took a picture similar to this - so I suggest the pose to Judie ~ What do you think?  Kodak moment??

Same pose different view - Baby Ruth will now be called Lexie - and can't wait to meet her new older sister, Lilly

Sunday dinner with mom ~~

All of the puppies are growing by leaps and bounds!  This was the line-up at the dinner table - Notice Almond Joy finished first!

Newborn pictures are on the website

This is the little black/white tri male -

A promised picture

Here they are!  3 girls and 1 boy -- sorry it's not the best picture.  Better pictures to follow!

Puppies are early!

Mercedes presented us with 3 girls and 1 boy last night - Everyone is doing very well (Ralph and me too!).

We got to bed after 4:00 - everyone is resting - of course the other dogs wanted their breakfast at 7:00 - normal time - no rest for me!

We will be taking pictures this afternoon and should be on the website later today. 

The "wait list" has been notified of the early arrivals.  I'll try to sneak a picture soon -

Isn't this clever?

This young girl won a $100 prize

And the larger dog is Jasper - not sure who the little hotdog is-
