PUPPIES

Yeah. Ruby had her puppies. Last time I posted I thought it was going to be awhile, but that was not the case. She had 14 puppies on the 14th. Only 12 of them made it though. : ( Its so sad. Had we had a better idea when she was due we could have saved them. I was home that Thursday afternoon doing my usual house stuff and Roman was barking for like a half an hour so finally I went out to yell at him, when I did Ruby came out of the dog house. Which was fine.. then I heard this squeeking noise. I thought maybe it was baby mice or a baby ferret ( we have had one visit us) I was too scared to go look, so I called Ethan and he said I hope its not a puppy. Dun dun dun... I hadn't even thought about that. Sure enough there was a puppy out there. She had damage to her nose and cheek and had some frostbite, but other than that she was fine. We call her scarface. The first one she had didn't make it. Ethan found him in the snow : ( Everything from there went pretty well. We have quite the variety again. Three blues, 2 male and 1 female, which we are keeping her name is Sydney. She had 4 brown ones, 3 female and 1 male. She also had 5 black ones, 3 female and 2 male. They are so cute and growing like weeds. I will be sad to see them go, but I know I can't keep them all. Anyway other than that not much new. Abi is still growing like a weed herself. Still no crawling, she is getting pretty close and still no teeth. Oh well, all in due time.

Happy New Year

Wow it is 2010! I remember when it was 2000 and how weird that felt. That was 10 years ago. Wow how time flies. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Christmas was great. Spending time with family is always a joy. It was fun with Abi this year getting to play Santa was fun, I am sure we over did it, but oh well, it was my first time. 2009 was a great year. I am optomistic that 2010 will be just as great if not better. One of many new years resolutions is to post more often. Things are settling down... well for a minute, Ruby is having puppies again. Yea, I think. She still has like 4-5 weeks, so until then things can settle down and I can hopefully post more often.

All of Abi's presents, what a spoiled girl : )

Abi is getting so big. I can't believe she is 8 months old. She is learning so much everyday. She is about 19 lbs. and about 28 inch. After Christmas Abi got sick for the first time. She had a bad cough and was very congested, so I am sure she had a sore throat. It is so heartbreaking. There is not much of anything you can do for them. It lasted about a week. Poor little girl. : ( No crawling yet. I want her to crawl, but I don't. I will be so happy for her when she does, but that means she can get into trouble. : ) Still no teeth. I was about a year when I got teeth, so maybe she is taking after me. Just as long as she has teeth.
