Bride quilt for a doll collector.......

Change of pace........thought I'd post a wall hanging ordered for a doll collector. One of a kind, fun to hand sew. Glad to have it done and loved.

Finn's keeping cool.......

I'm cooling down Gma in the air-conditioning. You know Cockers don't like the heat (this one anyway). People say that I'm spoiled, I just have Mom & Dad well trained!
Love to All

Winchester is tired of the rain.

Hey Willard Scott.......how about some nice sunny days to dry up all this rain and mud? The cocker mob wants to play outside again.

Sunflowers from 2008

With all the rain......rained for the past two days......our sunflowers are only stems and leaves so far. Here are three from last year to remind us what would be if the sun would stay out. My Mom used to say, "The rain never falls in the malls. Let go shopping!"

Laurel & Hardy are available for Adoption

Noah's Arks Rescue
LAUREL & HARDY available for ADOPTION
July 29, 2009
These two beautiful pups are available for adoption. They were originally going to be euthanized because they were brought into Greenville County with parvo and all parvo pups are euthanized immediately. They have been treated for parvo and are out of their quarantine period. They were with a family that was fostering to adopt them and we have decided to not allow the foster family to adopt this beautiful brother and sister. They are a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Shih-Tsu & Dachshund mix. They are up to date on all shots and are 4 months old. We would like to have them adopted together. If you are interested in these wonderful pups, please contact us at the e-mail below.

Winchester is dressed and waiting for his ride home.

Big sigh.........will they ever come?

Sadie & Sophie have a message for you.......

Dove's litter has completed their seven week photo shoot and it is posted to the web site. Below is the link to their new photos. We took advantage of the scene to have our pictures taken together. Aren't we adorable?

Look who's a Calendar Girl..

It's Bee/Weylin's daughter, SusieQ and her BFF Gracie. Their photo will be included with the new calendar sponsored by the SPCA in Erie, PA. We are so proud of these beautiful cocker angels.

Smith is hoping for an invitation......

Today I took my wagon out in the garden and started to gather up roses for a very special August wedding. Now I'm watching the mail and email for my very own invitation. I already have a nice tux that I'm wearing. Don't I look handsome enough to be the best man?

Hi from Molly & Rusty.....

Molly likes to ride the waves in our pool......not me! Good old Terra firma under my feet is what I want at all times! Rusty

The Roses and black eyed Susans are coming.........

We have such a hard time growing roses here. Our dirt is only ground rock with tons of mulch and horse treasure. So far, we only have a few that decide to stay over year to year. Roses are like annuals for us and must be replanted every year. However, our black and brown eyed Susan's are magnificent. Thanks to the birds, they are blooming everywhere we would never have thought to plant them. Mother Nature knows her stuff!

Whatever Lola wants.........

Yes, Little Lola wanted her family to come and they did! Here's Scott, Stacy and Alyssa with their baby girl. She was so cute, and sweet while she was with us. Then when
Winchester kept pulling at her pretty bow, she'd had enough. She chased him down, pulled his ears and was going to finish off her brother!!! We all laughed at her and remined her to be a good girl. She was a good on the way home and let them know when to make a potty stop. This lovely family will make a wonder home for our girl. Thank you! Send pictures.

Mazie's gone........

Hi Everyone. My folks found me today and took me home to VA. Boy was it fun showing off for them. They think I'm a cutie pie and gave me lots of hugs and kisses. I know I'm going to love my new home. Here's a picture of us before we left, a photo of me sleeping the night before and the gang after I left. Stay tuned for my adventures in Virgina.

Sophie speaks on yet another rainy morning....

Oh my dear sister, Sadie. Thank you for staying here with me for two more weeks. I know you can go to our new home right now and are watching as your litter mates are doing just that. You are such a good sister to stay and play with me as I grow old enough to leave, too. Together we will explore our new home and bond with our Momma Theresa and Daddy Dick. In the meantime, you and I will have a lot of fun right here. Do you suppose they will let us wear these lovely hats in our new home? It makes me feel like such a lady. Sophie

Finn's Garden today

Well, here I am again with an update on my beautiful garden. Gpa Phil, look at my Fire & Ice Hosta, isn't it wonderful! And Gma, the day lilies and daisys are beautiful just for you. I'm one tires little COP.....cocker on patrol.....working to keep the critters out of our yard. A boy's work is never done. Finn

More Day Lilies

Philip's Hosta collection......

Philip loves Hostas and has nearly 300 varieties. It's one of his passions and we look for new ones every place we go. This is just a sampling of his Hosta gardens.

Puppy Camp departure.......

The Camp bus has escorted Miss Thyme for a week of fun and games with Llinger. Both are chocolates. Thyme has tan points and is solid. Llinger is a chocolate & white parti boy with a beautiful solid chocolate head. We are so excited to see these puppies as it is Thyme's first litter. The wait list has had names for over a year, so this litter will fly out the door. There is still room for male reservations and maybe a girl. We never know until the litter is born if those already on the wait list are still interested. Successful breeding will be posted on the Planned Litters page of our web site.

"...and that's the way it is."

........a grateful people thank you for your loyality and devotion to the truth in reporting....a rare talent that is sorely missed.

Wesson and his new Mommy.....

Look at me with my new Mommy! Wow, what a beauty! I was so cute for her, running and playing with everyone and showing off. I think she really loves me, too. I know I love her. We have a long drive back home to the Philly area, so we'll have a lot of snuggle time in the back seat. Look for pictures of me in my new home with all the toys she's told me about. Yippie! I hope the rest of my siblings luck out like I did. I won't forget you all...don't forget me!

Wesson

Sports had visitors today.....

Oh boy, look who came to visit with me. Actually they drove Wesson's new Mommy here so she could take him home and they loved me. They are going home to "talk it over". What does that mean? Sports

Bailey's Home

Here's my new Momma Linda. Isn't she lovely! I slept all the way to NJ and awoke to my new home. Wow, I was greeted by wonderful people and great food. I made myself right at home and decided to stay. Thanks to Lloyd and Janice for getting me here safely. I was worried about the trip until I saw my favorite friend Janice getting out of the car. I knew it would be alright and she would make sure I was loved. Thank you Janice and Lloyd. I promise to tell you of my adventures and send pictures to everyone. Don't forget me.

Dove's kids this am.......

They weren't under the table. They had had breakfast and were running and playing the last time I checked on them. The search was on. Last night, they nested behind the bench where an ironing board was on it's side. It was the cave of choice. So I went there first, but found that they had pulled out this little bed and decided they wanted something more comfortable for this morning's nap. Exactly how many pups can you stuff into a tiny one dog bed?

Sophie has an important message.........

My sister Sadie and all her litter mates have new seven week photos posted on the web site. Thought you'd like to take a look. Just click on the link below. They're having some good ole summer fun.

Caught 'em.......

You have to be fast. Once the table's skirt is lifted, they jump up and run out. No time to focus or include them all...just point and shoot. As you can see, the puppy cave/nest is soft, warm and secure from evil forces looking to snatch unsuspecting puppies away to their castles of doom!

Don't you wonder what goes on in a puppy's imagination?
