Kasey (Reef) has a new look for summer....

Mary and Philip, My mom wanted me to have short hair for the summer so I visited Lots of Love and had a bath and haircut. Glenn,Wendy andKasey

the Rabbit.......available again......

Yep.....here's my story. A lovely couple with one little girl found me, loved me and applied to adopt me. Gma Mary really liked them. Their application checked out and was approved. We were all so happy. On Sunday, Gma Mary called to reconfirm. Guess what they said!! They were just back from visiting a local litter to get a puppy fix and walked out with an 8wk old boy. Of course we are concerned that pedigrees, health and other information wasn't checked. We wished them lots of love and years of good health and happiness anyway. Guess the cocker angels have something better in store for me. In the meantime, I'm getting a lot of love and attention right here. Stay tuned for the rest of my story! "Rabbit"

Lilies, Roses and one Ruby......

Philip's off to work in his gardens with helpers.....

This old graden tractor was 22 years old when we bought it in 1990. Philip has a nice Cub Cadet and a piece of junk Sears, but this is his love. Holly and Basil are always at his side. Ruby was out with him, but I didn't see her until I walked in the gardens takeing pictures of what's blooming. That's the next post.

Neo and his best bud, Connor

Violet is inviting you to view her siblings' two week photo shoot...

Max (Dove/Weylin's Drifter) showing off his toys!

Here's our sweet boy Max in his new home enjoying all his toys. Of course these are but a very few of his massive collection. Sandy tells us Max is devoted to her, follows her everywhere and can't give her enough kisses. AND....this is so funny.....he is in love with the porcelain cocker sitting on the floor. He spends a lot of time talking to her, sitting with her and can be found asleep with his head on her! He does have a big brother, Rudy, who is our Basil's brother/littermate......but I sincerely think he misses his litter mates and is wanting another one! Sandy tell us Max is so sweet and loved by everyone. We are so proud of him and all the others in the litter. Thanks for sharing the photos, Sandy.

Congrats to Barb Guyer and her new Champion....

Precious photo of Lola and friends....

Hi Mary,
Just wanted to share a cute picture of my daughter Alyssa and her best friends Toby and Lola. She didn't realize this was being taken but I thought that it was the cutest thing.

The puppies are gorgeous. Can't wait for the next group of pics.

Take care,

Stacy

(we agree......capturing an unstaged show of true love and affection is to be shared and cherished. Thanks for sending it so we can share, too. Mary OH....for those who don't remember, Lola is our Charlie's sister.)

Internet problems continue........

Couldn't get online this morning. Was able to get on now (12:30) long enough to answer one email and down it went again. Back up to post this. So if you don't see anything new here or don't get an answer to your emails....it's not because I haven't tried. When I saw a fleet of Verizon trucks go down the road first thing this morning, I knew it was time to just go quilt.
PS.......Pansy's puppies are doing great, trying to walk and open their eyes. So far, Max is the only one who has both eyes open. The rest are just starting to get peep eyes. Max is on a mission to grow as fast as he can so he can play with his big bro, Jack.

Happy lst day of Summer!

Congrats to Samantha!!

Troubles with Verizon........

We are having troubles updating the web site and this blog. Verizon is working on all the phone lines and installing cable for DSL. Also they are not keeping the substations in order and everyone in this area is having troubles getting and sending emails. I've tried for three hours to get on line to publish updates and am just now getting on the blog. The web site has new photos of Pansy's litter waiting to be published.

Update on Pansy's litter is a sad one. Our black & tan merle boy, Bud, crossed over the Rainbow bridge yesterday. We were shocked as he was the biggest one of the litter and yet he couldn't latch onto the nipple and suck. We kept his tummy filled and he was strong and vocal. He actually walked on Wednesday! But he didn't gain one ounce from birth. We knew he was in trouble. All the rest of the puppies have at least doubled their birth weight and are scooting on their bellies because they can't support their weight. As always in this situation, our hearts are broken, but we know we tried everything possible to keep Bud with us. This is the first puppy Pansy lost and she is very upset looking for him. We are giving her extra attentions and good foods, but she still thinks I have him somewhere and he'll be back. It's tough not being able to explain to a loving mother what happened to her precious baby. So she is keeping busy with the others and helped me with the one week photo shoot this am. I'm hoping the service will stay open long enough so that I can get the new photos on the web site. This entire week has been difficult keeping up with emails. I'm hoping everyone will check here and understand I'll get to them as soon as this issue is resolved. Thanks for understanding.

Colby (formerly our Blizzard) is home sweet home

We were so happy to hear from MaryAnn and Rich and see these photos of our Colby. They report what a good boy he is, minds well and is the love of their big Italian family. You can see that he is well loved and still flashing those big beautiful eyes at the camera. Bet he does that to everyone he meets, too. Thanks for sharing the photos and give big hugs and kisses from all the SBG gang.

Connor takes Neo for a ride........

LOL........what a hoot! And there sits Neo like a good boy and not jumping out. He trusts Connor completely. Those two must have met in Heaven and decided you were their home of choice. Then Connor sent Neo ahead to check it out to be sure. What a team! Thanks for sharing, Josie.

Addy's treasure.......

Here I am with my walking stick. Daddy lets me 'find' it everytime we walk so I'm not tempted to pick up everything else. I'm so proud when I pick it up, I just prance and prance.

Addy :)

How adorable can a puppy be? Good girl Addy, keep Daddy in shape with long walks. Love your walking stick.

Happy Anniversary from Jack and Max...

What a suprise! Thanks Jack and Max for the good wishes and lovely display of

roses. That's one flower we cannot grow here and we love them. Jack you look just like Granpa Weylin, but with a very pretty coat. Max, well he's trying hard to look like big brother Jack and right now......he reminds us of a little bull dog!
