EVERYONE HAS FOUND A HOME

All of my Olivia's babies have found a home. I would like to thank everyone for all the nice comments and conversations I've had about my sweethearts. These babies will be traveling far and wide in just a few short weeks to meet their new moms and dads, from North Dakota to Kentucky to the Carolina's and everywhere in between. I hope you all will drop me an email from time to time and let me know how everyone is doing and a picture or two also. All of the puppies are weaned now and Olivia is beginning to gain some weight back, she got a little thin close to the end. I started everyone out on Bil Jac soft food then started mixing in some hard puppy food (Royal Canin) now they are eating only the hard food and everyone is gaining weight and looking great. They will be getting their first puppy shot (ouch!) next week and will have their second one at 8wks before they leave for their new digs. They need to go to the vet as soon as they reach you for your vet to give an OK on their health, and he will let you know when they need their other shots. The time has gone so fast I can't believe they are almost 6wks old. "it just seems like yesterday they were just babies" LOL speaking of babies, I just had my grand babies for a week and loved every minute of it. The weather did not cooperate with all the plans we had but we still had fun. In the hot tub (swimming) every night, lots of stories, got to skip school one day (shhhh don't tell the school I'm sure it was not excused!!) but that's the great thing about being a Nana and Papa we don't have to play by the rules anymore. I am glad that we had our children when we were young because I'm just now beginning to recuperate, my hat is off to all those mid life parents with young children, I am way happy being Nana. I will post some new pics this next week so everyone can visit. Sorry I've not been as good at the pics as I wanted to be but my goodness where does the time go! Be blessed and we'll talk soon.

Tornados in February

What a night we had last night. Tornado's, lightning and a ton of rain at my house. If you are ever bored with where you live just move to Oklahoma and its a new adventure every month. Even in the rain storm I had a family come and look at my babies. I have had a lot of interest and the emails are pouring in every night. I want to thank everyone for their interest and don't be shy about asking questions, this is a big decision and I understand that, so ask away and I will answer to the best of my ability. I started feeding Bil Jac this week mixed with a little milk. At first they were a little unsure about it but it didn't take long and they were all going at it like there was no tomorrow. Olivia looks a little relieved and wants to spend a little less time with them and more time outside. All of the puppies are up on their feet walking around even the big fat boys. I have moved them into a larger pen area with an area to go "poop" on puppy training pads, so far so good. Hopefully in the next week they will get the hang of "going" in their special area and not so much on their carpeted area, time will tell. I will post new pics in a day or two, but I'm going to have my grandchildren for the next 7 days so it may be a little tough to do so. My daughter her husband my son and his fiance' are going to Florida for the girls birthdays. Nana gets to stay home and grand sit, that's OK with me we will have an awesome time. To have a friend we must be a friend so reach out to someone today and befriend them. Thanks for reading!!

PUPPY UPDATE

My goodness I wish I had more time. I'm 4 days late posting new pics and I do apologize. I want to update every week but time slips away and here I am. Enough of that, lets talk puppies. All of the girls are up and on their feet but the boys are being a little more lazy about the walking around. It could be that they are so fat they are having a harder time than the girls, but lets face it girls always do things faster than boys. They are all beginning to form their own little personalities, Densmore is Mr. Bossy Pants and Buster just wants to sleep on his back all day long. Fancy has started to bark along with Ellie and Ginger. When you walk into the room and switch on the light and startle them they jump up and give me 3 or 4 little barks apiece. Its just about the cutest thing you've ever seen or heard. Chase and Andy try to stay under the radar and out of trouble, but you know how girls are, they pull them in on their shenanigans from time to time. On monday or tuesday I will start to introduce solid food, actually Bil jac from the freezer section. I always start my puppies that way and at about 6 weeks begin to mix in some hard food and by 8 weeks they are on hard food only. This is the time when I begin to do a lot more work with my babies because mom decides its time to start weaning. So starting next week I'll have even less time, just hoping I can keep up!! Congratulations to Ann for adopting Buster he is a beautiful big boy and I know you will love him much. Choose BLESSINGS today and I will talk with you next week, Hopefully!!!
