March & April

This was my main project during the March holidays - Mark's office. Everything in these pictures was in Mark's office...most of it is now at the dump!

Our friends, Dale & Tammy, had a baby - Logan. They came over for lunch a few weeks later & I got to hold Logan :-)

Mark's mom got us a kennel for Ginger for part of our combined birthday present. All of us girls fit it - not too comfortably, but we DID fit!

After all the rain on Friday night, puppy training had a cool twist - "let's see how the puppies do with water". Of course Ginger & Meg LOVED it!

Meg shows no fear of the kennel. While Ginger isn't too sure.

How they sleep at night - so one can be in the kennel & the other can be in the kitchen, but both can still move around.

Our project for the long weekend - cleaning the carpets! Mark did most of the work - wonderful hubby!

One of the worst spots - before.... and after. (have to love it when dogs pee inside)

How Ginger & Meg busied themselves while they were kicked out.

The girls wore themselves out.

We gave them rawhide bones to occupy themselves while they are inside.

More puppy pics! plus a video!!

Fun at the pool - Julia, Ginger, Jenny, Roxy

Mark is taunting Cinnamon to come into the pool...

Ginger loves her brush... Like I said "loves her brush" - not necessarily "loves getting brushed with it," though.

Ginger relaxing after her swim.

Jenny & I with our girls :-)

We got to see Drummer for the first time in 5 weeks today. He is beautiful!

A video of the pups at the pool!

Pictures...

Here are some pics - mainly of puppies - of our last few weeks!

Ginger's first trip down the stairs

Cinnamon & Ginger in the bed - Ginger hasn't quite gotten the concept of bed = sleep

Isn't she sweet!!

Mark cooked lunch this weekend - made pies from scratch. Flour was everywhere...

Here are the last few before cooking

A few of the finished products...

Meg & Ginger after playing for a while

Gran can even get Meg to sit, until Ginger barrels over her...

Here's Meg!

New Puppy Pics!

Aren't they cute?

3 exhausted puppies.

Us with Nicolette - the vet who delivered the puppies & always takes good care of us when we come in.

Meg found her way out of the whelping box - luckily she could get back in, too.

Drummer likes the toys we brought from Jackson.

Mark likes playing with the pups.

The puppies' first walk.

Very tired after their first walk.

Their favorite toy.

Their first swim.

They look more like drowned rats than puppies.

Like mommy like daughter.

Mark's mom & dad with Meg.

Ginger thought sleeping on Gran's feet was a great idea.

More puppies!

Here are a few more puppy pictures. We got back to SA on Thursday night, so we left the puppies with Mark's parents until Friday, Jan 8. These pictures/videos are from between Jan 8 & Jan 10 - the puppies are 28 -> 31 days old :-)

Cinnamon didn't miss me at all (not). She would have stayed in my lap all night if I'd let her.

Here they are eating their first meal at our house.

Their first venture outside - aren't they cute?!?

Cinnamon is good about playing some with them.

Completely exhausted after playing outside.
