Here's our Violet.........

Don't know why, but the blog kicked Violet off the post below and wouldn't allow me to add her. Well, here she is on her own post! Our lovely little
flower.

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!
