Playing catch up…

by Beth on September 10, 2011

I have been extremely remiss in keeping my website updated this year. My only excuse is that I’ve had a redesign/reorganization in mind and I kept thinking I might as well wait to do updates until I have time for the complete overhaul, but now I concede the utter ridiculousness of that premise! What was [...]

More updates

by Beth on November 11, 2010

When I wrote the last post on Sunday and said it would be a few more weeks before I would be able to get more updates done, I was forgetting today was a holiday. So, I do have more updates sooner than expected! Today I added this year’s Halloween photos to Ellie’s candid photos. This [...]

It lives!

by Beth on November 7, 2010

At long last, signs of life on the blog! I spent most of the weekend playing long overdue catch-up on the website. I did a few tweaks under the hood, and I uploaded many new photos that I’ve been saving up for months to add to the dogs’ photo galleries. You can see new photos [...]

Puppy news… sort of

by Beth on August 5, 2010

Boy does time ever fly when you’re having fun! I guess I was deluding myself when I thought I might be able to reclaim some time once the puppies were all off in their new homes. I don’t know how this could possibly be, but I seem to be more busy than ever! I have [...]

8 week update, photos and video

by Beth on June 20, 2010

Eight weeks is a very busy age! In the 10 days since my last update, the puppies have had multiple visitors and several outings to friends’ houses. They had their first shots. They were all BAER tested and all have normal hearing (yay!). We’ve had mixed weather but the puppies were able to spend four [...]

7 week photos and video

by Beth on June 10, 2010

To make up for last week’s appalling dearth of cute candid photos, today I took a whole bunch of action shots of the pups playing like wild animals out in the yard during a brief break in the rain.  My camera is not a fancy digital SLR really suited for action photos but it still [...]

6 week update and stacked photos

by Beth on June 6, 2010

It has been an insanely busy week and I am sorry to be posting a few days later this week than I have in previous weeks. The week started with WWWA’s Versatility Weekend in Roy, WA. The puppies attended with me on Saturday and Monday and had a wonderful time. The weather was the pits, [...]

Rainy day fun too

by Beth on May 28, 2010

Well after the last post on Monday about how nice it is to raise puppies in the sunshine, I think we’ve had about 20 minutes of sun the entire rest of the week, and the puppies really haven’t had a whole of time outside. I raced them out on Wednesday for a few minutes before [...]

Fun in the Sun

by Beth on May 24, 2010

I took the puppies for their first trip out to the yard when they were three weeks old, and have had them out every day or two since then. We’ve had typical May weather here in Western Washington, with brilliant, beautiful sunshine alternating approximately every 10 minutes with torrential downpours, and obviously that makes it [...]

4 week photos and video

by Beth on May 20, 2010

Happy 4 week birthday to the baked beans! I took a bunch of photos today to celebrate their big day and added them to the litter’s photo gallery. The puppies have grown so much this past week. The changes from 3 to 4 weeks are so dramatic. Practically overnight they transform from uncoordinated babies who [...]
