Indigo update!

Hi all...I realized I haven't posted in a while, so thought I'd post a quick update and pic! :O) Indigo weighed 46.2 lbs as of 3 days ago and is a little firecracker!

I don't know about your pups, but she has SO much energy! I bought one of those blue kiddie pools for her and she is in it nonstop...usually at the most inconvenient times for me, but it's ok...she LOVES it!!! I take her and Midi (the 9 year old) to the dog park every afternoon and they run like crazy. Indigo plays fetch like it's her job and I didn't even have to teach her. Crazy. I think we will probably move onto the frisbee next, just to up her skill level of catching and retrieving.

Anyway, here's a recent pic:


Hope everyone is doing well! Post PICS please!!!

Mystery solved!

A recap of Thursday morning...

Noelle:  Maggie isn't feeling so well this morning, Amy said she threw up her breakfast

Nicole:  Oh poor thing!  I will be sure to keep an eye on her today

Noelle:  Ok thanks.  I am outta here - gotta get to work.  Oh, by any chance did some of my underwear get mixed up with yours in the laundry?  I am missing several pairs.  So weird.

Nicole:  No - I haven't seen any.  Did you check between the washer and dryer? Maybe they fell down there?

Noelle:  Yes I did, not there.  Oh well.  I bet they will turn up.

Nicole:  Maybe they are in Maggie's belly!

(laughter from both)

Noelle:  Ok - I am off to work!  Keep me posted on how Maggie is doing.  Bye!

Nicole goes on about her morning, is making some tea when she turns around to see Maggie throwing up again.

Mystery solved!  That's right.  Not one, not two, not three....but four pairs of thong underwear!!

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.

Tom

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!!!

Maggie's January Photo Shoot

Ace and Indi go to the vet!

Ace and Indigo went for their 10 week checkup today...all is good! Ace weighed in at 24.3 pounds and Indi weighed in at 20 pounds! How fast they are growing!!! Malaine (Biz is posting for her since she has deficiency in the blog department) bought them seat belts since they have outgrown all former means of transportation. Here's a pic of them just chillin' in safety:

And this is Ace, tired of all the vet and car drama...Can't wait to see how the rest of the pups have grown!!!

Maggie and Pelly

Hello from Gus

Hi all,

Glad to hear everyone is doing so well. I am still working on house training. I am getting pretty good at going when they take me out, but I do not give much of a signal at other times. I try to be subtle and just sniff around a bit, then I pee on the carpet. Mom and dad do not get mad, but I sure hate seeing them do all that extra work. Are any of you guys giving a specific signal when you have to go out?? Let me know cause I'd be glad to try it.



I did get a bath recently which was fun and I am learning to walk on a leash.

Hope you all are doing well.
Love Gus

My "Friend"

To pass the time I like to "talk" to my new friend but I am not sure why he won't play with me? Thatcher has discovered his reflection in the oven, and likes to have a little conversation everyday with his reflection. It is hysterical.

And his name is.....

Thatcher. It took a long time to make that decision - sorry to everyone who has been waiting. We went to the vet today for his 9 wk shots. (My vet does 9, 12 and 15 weeks) and he weighed in at 17 lbs 6 oz. Big boy!

He still doing great and learning new things every day. Like Indi we mastered up and down stairs this week. As you can see from my picture I am extremely adorable like the rest of the family.

Ace is watching the playoffs!

And still growing...
