Puppies

I always knew the day would come, but it still makes me a little sad. We sold 2 more of our puppies last night. We only have 6 left that haven't been claimed. Of course, they won't be leaving us for a few weeks, but it is still sad. One of the ones that sold last night was one of my favorites, so that was kind of hard. I guess it makes it easier when you see how excited these people are to have them.

One unrelated puppy thing that some of you may or may not care about...I trotted Cheyenne last night. I guess it was my first real official ride/training session. It was so exciting and fun. She even got up into a few steps of canter and bucked for the first time. I think she's going to be a really good horse if I can ever figure out what I'm doing with her!

Tired

I am worn out!

Last week, I started working in my classroom, so I've been busy painting and setting up. I can't believe it is time for school to start! Where has my summer gone?!

I guess part of it has gone to the dogs...ha ha! The puppies are getting bigger, and they poop and pee a lot. Cocoa and I are worn out from cleaning up after them, but they are so sweet! When you walk in the room, they all crowd around you with tails wagging...it's gonna be hard to let them go, especially a certain few. Check out their blog for some new pics: http://cocoaslabpups.blogspot.com/

Before I go to bed, I must say CONGRATULATIONS!! The co-ed softball team at church won first place in the tournament last night!! They had to play 3 games back to back, and they won them all! Of course, I must brag because my hubby is on the team!

Puppy Blog

Not much going on around here....just busy cleaning up after puppies and trying to get ready for school to start. I updated the puppy blog with new pictures. The puppies are getting so big! Their eyes are open and they are playing, growling, barking, and being just plain cute! Check them out!

If anyone knows anybody who might be interested in purchasing a lab puppy, please let them know about us! The link below will take you to a website, which has information about the parents, as well as pictures of the puppies. Of course, I will be updating the blog with new pictures as the puppies grow and change!

Annoying, but flattering

I just want to say that I am beginning to hate local photo processing!!! Sam's changed their website, so now it is a pain to edit photos and order them. So, since Sam's was getting on my nerves, I decided to try the local Wal-mart. All I wanted to do was order some really cute pics I took of my nephews this weekend. I even edited them on that Picnik site Leah told us all about. I got a phone call a few minutes after I placed my order asking for a copyright for my photos. She didn't seem to believe that I took them myself. So what I am I supposed to do if I want photos quickly? I guess I will have to start ordering online, but I am really impatient, and hate to wait. I'm gonna take my camera and my card in, so hopefully they will give me my pictures I ordered. If not, I guess I will find out how to copyright my pictures or write a letter for myself saying that I can buy my own photos. Is that not annoying??? Where do professionals go to get their pics?!!

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!
