For Jennifer


Jennifer wanted a photo of Crawford sleeping with one of the other dogs. On the last evening he was here with us, I captured him and Paloma on the couch.


He also enjoyed being on the bed with the rest of the crew!

Loki Came To Visit

I cannot tell you how nice it was to have four of the six pups here at the house the other day! I sure missed the other two but they would need more than a phone call that morning to make it here on time! Jasper and Ziggy, I was thinking about you!! Maybe one day we will all be in the same place and we'll get the whole family in a picture! :)


Crawford was busted trying to eat the lilac - I'm sure Miss Paloma taught this to him! I have nicknamed her "The Landscaper!"


Patriot and Loki


Steve called this "The Symphony!" In the following pictures you can see them come together as one so they all get a treat! In this one, Marley is the holdout.


They almost have it . . .


Wow!! I have everyone's attention at this point and they were rewarded handsomely for their effort. I love puppy classes!! From right to left, they are: Loki (aka Bear, red collar), Marley, Patriot (green collar), Paloma (the only girl), Crawford (aka Lemon Drop, yellow collar) and Hannah. She's the best Auntie ever!

What a Beautiful Day Today Was!


Crawford arrived for his weekend visit at 1:30pm. His mother promptly gave him his orders and was then removed for being an over zealous drill instructor.


Once outside, the puppies were able to play. Paloma found a stick, not unusual. We will perhaps have a present later tonight.


Paloma and Crawford sharing pieces of my lavender, which is pretty non-existent these days.


This is a picture of Nash. To me, he looks just like his mom, Lyric. He is only 5 months older the the pups but is more like the gawky teenager to the pups who remind me of elementary school children - still a little plump and losing their teeth.


Crawford smiling.


Crawford and Patriot horsing around with Nash in the background.


Crawford chewing on a stick. Perhaps he will give us a present later tonight as well.


Long, tall, and leggy Nash.


Just to show you how tall Nash is next to Crawford, who is just a tad smaller than Paloma.

Nash came over for the day while Tim went to work. Usually Tim's mom watches Nash but she had an appointment today so Bree pitched in to help.

Crawford will be here all weekend. His Mom and Dad are in California doing something very special and spending time together, too!

Since about 6pm, Crawford has lost three teeth. Don't worry, Jenn. I have them here waiting for you.

So, while 6 Vizslas in the house is a huge red blur at times, 5 seems peaceful. Of course, they might all be tuckered out from their all day play date. It might rain tomorrow so I'm thankful for today.

More to come as the weekend unfolds . . .

The One Who Chose Not to Play

Beds are for resting, not wrestling!


Paloma and Crawford


This is Crawford looking for Paloma under the bed.
Under the bed is one of Paloma's favorite hiding spots.


Because from there she can sneak attack you and get into things she isn't supposed to have.

Hard to tell who has the upper "hand," er, paw!


This went on for about 10 minutes and then everything was quiet.

What Do You Do On A Cold, Wet, Windy Day?

This is what WE do . . . . .









SLEEP!!

Patriot


This is Patriot on March 14th. Nothing special about the day other than he sat still while I took his picture!
