Prayer

Please pray for Stacy and Isaac and her family. They are on my heart right now as the time of Isaac's birth approaches.

Still Life and Fierce Life

Finding art in everday life. Heh.



Fierce puppy. We have to separate her from the rest 'cause she grab their necks and shakes them like bunnies (at least how my childhood dogs shook our bunny *sniff*). Is that normal puppy play? They scream and scream, and she won't stop, so we aren't so sure.

She looks a bit defiant, yes? Cute, but defiant.

Puppy Stress

Having nine puppies around has meant extra work for all of us, mostly in the way of cleaning up their little puppy accidents.



But I think the ones who are experiencing the most stress are our resident dogs.

Chandler has started grinding his teeth, Daisy has been having nightmares and Jane seems to think the puppies are her responsibility.

It is kind of funny to see our normally mellow beasts have their own little nervous breakdowns.

While the Cat's Away...

Mommy dog is at doggie daycare, and the babies are acting like...puppies!



At least my kitchen floor will get a good cleaning...

The power went out this afternoon. It was a hot, hot day with no air conditioner!

Mommy dog is going to a new home tomorrow. She has had enough of her puppies and is desperate to get away from them.



So we will be mothering nine puppies for awhile...then we will be very content to go back to a puppy-free existence!

Puppy Feet

Dogs and More Dogs

Janie and Kirby chomp on Gunny:



Janie pretends she is Daddy's mother:

Kirby meets Daddy:

And yes, that is dog hair all over my floor.

The puppies will be four weeks old on Wednesday. They are stumbling all over and just so so cute.
