Happy New Year!

The puppies are growing so fast! They are done with their vaccinations and rabies shots. That means they are ready for puppy classes! My camera takes video and we are in the process of trying to convert those so we can post the video here. They're pretty funny. In six weeks or so, we will be taking them to get spayed and neutered. We are hoping that Leo will calm down cause he's outta control! Just look! That's Gabe's shoe!


















P.S. Bella is such a princess and is so sleepy all the time. She must be held and rocked like a baby at least twice a day....by Gabe...and he does it. Sucker!



































And one more pic of them sleeping.

Puppies First Snow

Scary Bella (4m 1d)

My friend, Jamie, stopped by today and quickly took a liking to Bella. Here is a picture of Bella especially for Jamie :)




And here is the pic edited without the glowing eyes!

Fun in the Yard (4 Months Old!)

They are seriously having so much fun in their yard. They tear through the property like the wind and love to hide from each other and then pounce. I love it that they are getting to know their surroundings and loving this huge open space. They stalk each other about every 5 minutes. They spy one another across the property or even 5 feet away and both STOP dead in their tracks and one or both crouch down as low as possible then are still like statues. Leo is the one who usually breaks the spell and starts running to her. That always makes me laugh cause he's pudgy and not very, well, stealthy.

Here are some more pics. I got a new Nikon the other day and am bound and determined to use it to its full potential. I am reading the book a little bit each night and learning all these cool things about photography. There are some really great shots and a couple of funky ones.

Stalking from about 5 feet away:

King Leonidas

Okokokokook, one more. Very blurry but this is typical for them: Bella seeking what little refuge there is to be had under the chair and Leo bugging her with a toy (that he's not going to give her).
