It is 2:40 AM

Yes...it is 2:40 AM and I am awake.

Why am I awake??!

Cocoa needed to go outside, and the doggie door was closed. She woke Josh up to take her out.

Then...she decided to crawl under the shed and not come out.

Why? I don't know...she's never gone under there before. I guess having 9 kids makes ya a little crazy.

My husband decided to wake me up to deal with the situation. FUN.

I feel bad...I had to take a puppy out to squeal to make her come out.

Now I have mud footprint tracks through my kitchen and down my stairs. FUN.

I think I'll try to go back to bed now...

Puppies!

They're here!!!

Cocoa lost her mucus plug last night around 7:10. Of course, she wasn't in her whelping box, she was in the upstairs bedroom! The first pup came around 8:30:

1. 8:27 black male

2. 9:20 black male

3. 9:30 black female

4. 9:59 black male

5. 10:03 chocolate male

6. 10:28 chocolate female

7. 11:02 black male


We thought she might be done, but then:

8. 11:32 chocolate female

9. 11:55 chocolate female


Josh was certain she would have only four, maybe 5, pups. She showed him! She's being a really good mamma! I'll post pics when I wake up a little more....didn't get to bed until after 1 am. Have a great day!

Revenge of the Lovebird

I know you guys are probably wondering why two lovebird posts in 2 days...it really is just too funny! I got pictures this time, although Cocoa was a little more brave and fought back some. She still looks at me like, "Mom...what is that thing?!"

Have you ever seen a lovebird....

Attack a 60 pound lab?




I let Elvis, my lovebird from school, fly around the house today. Cocoa, the dog, stays in, so I was having to be careful. Now, you would think the lovebird would be afraid of the dog and stay away from her....but you would be wrong. I looked out in the hallway to see Elvis biting Cocoa anywhere he could get her- the tail, her toes, her nose, anywhere! Needless to say, Elvis had to go back to his room. I didn't get any pictures because I wanted to put Elvis away before Cocoa decided to retaliate. Poor Cocoa...

expecting puppies that is....hopefully. Cocoa got to go see Shadow this weekend, so hopefully in about 9 weeks we will have some beautiful lab pups to show for the effort. Josh already told me I can't keep one, but I'm still excited. I just hope she is pregnant! I have been waiting 3 years for this moment!

Craft Show News

We are out of the red!!

Alissa and I sold 16 bags yesterday and today at the Athens Bible School craft show! We have also sold 4 bags to a children's boutique in Anniston. Kristie did really well with her dresses too. I think we can really get somewhere with these bags. We're already planning another craft show and another trip to Sirs....can't wait to see what we find! I'll try to post pics of some of the bags later, but I have taken any yet.
