It was a beautiful day here in New Hampshire on Monday. Sunshine, warm temperatures and a gentle breeze! I mean, how good is that, after all the rain and wind we have had over the last month.
I took a walk with Arnie over to look at our garden. I wondered what a month with next to no sun and a ton of rain had done to it. I was amazed to see that the garden was actually doing well. Everything looked great, with the exception of the cucumbers. They just have not done well this year. My tomatoes are growing and the little cherry tomato plant is loaded!
I worked the pups on a line again today to see how they would do with deer blood. They all did well and they really enjoy this as a game. Their new owners will need to continue to run them on tracks in the woods so that they can continue to learn to track the scent of wounded game.
They are so adorable now and so cute and I can hardly wait for their new owners to meet them. Melli asked if it was going to be difficult for me when they leave? You know, I don’t think so. I’ve raised them from day one, telling myself that these special little creatures were going to new and wonderful forever homes. I was just the teacher. The keeper of the babes until they were old enough to be loved by their new owners.
Here are Baron and Baerbel watching their silly brother Bogart who was trying to sleep on his back.
Ali curled up with Baerbel for a little rest.
But then Ali got up and Baerbel had the bed to herself.
Bogart loves his ball.
And because we haven’t had a lot of Baron pictures lately, here is another one of his sweet face!
It has been so much fun having springtime puppies! Being able to go outside with them and play in the green grass has been truly good for them and for me. Of course if Greta is pregnant, then we will be doing Autumn Puppies!
Can we ask Mother Nature for a little Indian Summer this year?
Baron does have a sweet face! Each one is so precious. I can’t decide on a favorite. I think the families will all be so lucky to have the pups they will have.
No sun here today, yet. I can only hope! Love YOU, Mel
They really all are so gorgeous! I will miss starting my work days by checking out the puppy pictures! Sounds like you had a great 4th. M and I did too, for sure. We headed up to Maine to visit with a couple of his friends, and yesterday went to the movies to see My Sister’s Keeper…. (Yes, the first really girly movie I have dragged him too! lol) It was good enough, but not nearly as good as the book….. I wonder what Jodi Picoult thought of the representation?
Hope you have a great day!
Love you lots,
Mandy
I think you gave me an explanation why I can’t find (or only very difficult) cucumbers this last months. All supermarkets are without and even on my midi market it was very hard to find one and then they were quite expensive. Usually I eat them the whole year with a piece of cheese !
I would love to see the little once life ! they must be so funny to watch !
If ever you want to “travel” to Venice, my pictures are here http://gattinatravels.blogspot.com/
You could just post pictures of the pups every day and I would be perfectly happy 🙂
LOVE that shot of Baerbel stretched out!!!
¨¨¨¨well, of course I had to check out your blog and see how the puppies are doing!
