They up and flew the coop!

So perhaps they didn't fly the coop but went to live with wonderful families. All the pups are gone now except our pup Audi and our dog, Abby. I think I've had way to many headaches brought on by crying over the leaving of our pups. I'm happy for them and their new families. I really am! I just miss them! I don't think I would want 6 pups at 9 weeks of age. I would be crying about them not leaving. I know some of you will be sending pictures of your pup and family. If you want, I'll post them on the blog as updates throughout the year. We would love to hear how it is going. We are very happy with all the new homes and the calliber of families that have chosen to buy pups. Other than that we had an excellent Easter! I'm so very thankful that the Lord made the choice over 2000 years ago to die and then arise for me and you. I'm so very thankful that He is making me new. It is a humbling yet refreshing time of year. New Years isn't one of those seasons that make me think of a fresh start. The smell of spring, the realization of the depth of the sacrifice of Christ,and the budding of all things green always makes me hopeful for a new beginning in my own life. May you be blessed as you realize the depth of Christ's love for us and His power to make all things new!

Visit from Aunt Rachael

Dara on the swing at the park. She loves her old fashioned dresses!

Aunt Rachael and Dara on the tire swing. I think I about made Rach sick with my twirly push!

At another park with the pups. Rachael and her husband claimed the pup that is in her lap. He rode home with her to CO and it settling in with a big golden retriever, Belle!

The girls absolutely love Rachael and wanted her to play with them all the time. Rachael has a great way with kids!

The kids were filthy after we left the park with dust from the rocks in the play area. They had a thick coat of film on them. Everything was a chalky mess!

Speaking of a chalky mess: Dara thought that coloring herself with bright pink sidewalk chalk was fun. It was fun and cute until we had to scrub it off in the tub! Don't think we will do that again!

I still have one pup left for sale and would like him to go to his new family very soon! Hugh will be a great hunter! I think he will be a bit bigger than Abby around 40-45 pounds. He is laid back and lovable- likes people. Again if you know of anyone interested please let them know.
