You get the picture

Today was crazy:
Sugar has diarrhea so I needed to go to Airdrie to get medicine.  Bob and I left at 5:30 and took Taffy with us, forgetting that Taffy gets car sick.  We left Sugar, babes and Coco at home.

We get back home at 6:30.  I am full of puke all over my clothes; the babies are all crying and Sugar is standing in her bowl of pablum.  She was wet, the babies were wet and cold and lying in a pool of water.  I think what happened is Sugar got terrified that I had left her, so she tipped her water bowl out of the holder and the chaos started.  We were also working at making some supper.  It always happens at supper time when Bob is hungry.  There was also poop to clean up on the deck.  I am alive to talk about it.  Breeding dogs is as interesting a job as I could ever want.

Trial run

This is the way we go for a walk.  I have been thinking of taking Taffy on the LRT.  It could happen this way.  Yes, I do need to pay adult fare for her.  Maybe they will charge more once we have to chase her thru the train.  I need to get her a tag before we go anywhere.

Back to goodbye and hello

Just cleaned up from the visit of the Tibbetts and about 10:30 I thought Sugar could be getting ready for whelping.  She was turning her blankets in to a nest.  But this was 2 days early and my pups have never come early.   She presented her first at 12:30 and the other 5 by 3:30.  Beautiful little patched babies 3 boys and 3 girls.  She is a super Mom  So proud of her.

Goodbye and hello

Today, Pippin has gone to Spokane to his new home.  The Tibbetts family was so excited and loved Pippin so much.  That makes me happy.  BUT I will miss him.  He is the last of Coco's babies to go.   Taffy will have some adjusting as well.  We'll do it together.  Brayden really felt the sadness of leaving Taffy without her buddy.   In fact, he encouraged the kids to let Taffy and Pippin share their kennel for one more night.

Sorry Calgary.

We've had some phenomenal storms this summer 2012.  The clouds are ominous and eerie and we wonder if we'll be heading for safety.  For some reason or other, they vent their fury on Calgary. 

How do GKids perceive us?

Can you tell I like purple and sparkle earrings?  This is how Emme perceives me.  She is 6 years old and a good artist.

The top pictures show Pippi as a princess (picture #3), Pippi as Emmeline's friend (the top picture) and the school bus (middle).  Do you see Pippi?  the kid at the end window with his tongue hanging out and his ears flapping?

I collect these

This is the price of one puppy...$700 paid in 20's  The last puppy sold today.  Don't bother counting.  I know one or two or more 20's have already been pilfered.

Innosence

This sweetheart that is named Emmanuelle is a joy. 

Aunt Deb: "You have ants in your pants Emmanuelle" 

Elle:  "No. that is a wedgie" 

Korey:  "Eat a little more of your hamburger and then you can have dessert."

Elle as she turns in her plate to Jenny:  "Mama,  Daddy said I can't eat beef."
