Indigo gets ready to move back to the South...

Midi (my older dog, ie the perfect dog), Indigo and I are getting ready to make the move BACK to the South....Nashville to be exact. It's been almost 2 years to the day since I moved away from Nashville. Midi is a Nashvillian, so she is as ready to get back as I am! Unfortunately, she forgot to communicate with Indi that I like to move around a lot.

I took this after about 20 minutes of Indigo constantly needing my attention during the packing of my kitchen. Apparently, she is not comfortable with the whole "boxing up" process. So, she decided that snuggling Midi Lou would be her best comfort!

Other than that, she is doing great! LOVES to be independent, loves to play with her brother Ace, who she is going to miss tremendously after we move, and loves to have morning snuggle time on the bed after getting out of her crate. :O)

BOBBY!! Or should I say GUS!!

I heard from Forrest in Nashville - he said Gus (formerly known as Bobby) is a "dynamic dog" - here is a pic

Pics of Harper and Atticus (Pups Dad)

Hello to All,

I am sorry that I have not gotten pics and updates of Harper (Studs) on the blog. He is growing like a weed. At 12wks he was 21 lbs. He will definitely be taller than Atticus. We have been training quite a bit recently and with Atticus to help, it has been pretty easy (thank goodness because his dad was a nightmare). He can sit, stay, place (lay on given spot), come, hold (dummy), release, up (on couch-see pics), off (of couch), and of course NO bite. He has rejuvenated Atticus to a puppy at times, which is great. I will try to take more pics outside retrieving.

Josie and Ruby aka Tess and Pinky's first day at the lake

Tom sent these picture of Ruby and Josie's day at the lake.  Tom is a pediatric ER doctor and sent me this note:

Ruby curled up in my lap - a kid died at work today.  Not sure that I will make sense of a 13 year old dying...having Ruby here now though helps...

Everybody at the kennel loves Ruby - she made friends with a deaf dog that the trainer said no one else would play with ....so tell pelly thanks.

Gus updated pictures

Steve sent updated pictures of Gus -- he is doing well, almost potty trained, can fetch, come, sit and knows the name of his toy and is very well loved as you can tell by these pictures....

Ace & Indigo Pics

Hi from Aberdeen, Maryland...we're growing like crazy...Ace weighed in at a whopping 34 lbs. at the vet yesterday and Indigo is now 27.4 pounds!

Hello from Thatcher

Here 's one of the latest head shots from Thatcher. He is so much fun but definitely in the midst of juvenile puppy hood. He likes to bark so I am trying to figure out how to manage that. Any suggestions?

He walks really well on a leash and LOVES his food, however he is convinced that he needs it all the time. He has finally figured out that you sleep ALL night and he does really well with his crate. The other day he stayed dry all day while I was at work which was really encouraging.

My biggest challenge is making sure he is getting enough exercise which definitely helps me get mine. We head back to the vet for shots on Tuesday so I will let you know what he weighs in at.

Momma and baby love

Indigo and her ears...

My ears seem to get away from me...

Oh wait, there they go.
Just some morning fun with Indigo!!!
