Xrays Scheduled

Amy D — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:22:14 +0000

Greta will be going in on the 11th for xrays to confirm or deny pregnancy. Fingers crossed! She’s not getting that big, so either she’s not bred or she’s hiding a couple! Hopefully the latter…..

Tell Me Tuesday: The Gmail Hack Edition

Amy D — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:33:25 +0000

Well, I lay victim to my Gmail getting hacked this Saturday. Talk about suck! But I will say this to all the Blackberry haters out there: the BB caught it exceptionally quick. I mean, it didn’t come up with a message that my account was hacked. It simply emailed me a message stating my password was wrong. Well, uh, gee, I didn’t change it! Of course, I was a little lax getting to it, so 3 hours later, a password change and update, I (not even lying) had over 300 emails come through on the BB. Most of them were mail deliveries that were kicked back because *most* of my addresses have email that is smart and kicked it back. Needless to say, the ole’ thumb got a workout deleting all those messages!

Thursday’s Things: Oh my gosh, it’s Mish-Mosh!

Amy D — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:36:45 +0000

Another busy week and I haven’t even picked up my camera! So I poured through the picture files on the computer and had a difficult time picking two out. But, I did it.

Brenna and Luci in my mother-in-law's bedroom. Lulu loved those wood floors....and Brenna, too!

Tell Me Tuesday

Amy D — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:47:06 +0000

Well, this week is suddenly lame since we are not expecting puppies. My attention now shifts to the Things. I realized today that Brenna is starting school a week from Thursday and she will be 6 in September. My gosh, where did time go? I hadn’t even scheduled her yearly doctor’s appointment! Gotta get on the ball, here, mom! So two appointments scheduled for the Things and there is one today with the dentist for Thing One. That should be as fun as walking out of Walmart with a child screaming “I hate you mom!” in the afternoon sunshine…..yes, that recently happened to me and I have nightmares about it, but life goes on. Hopefully somebody had a great show! I wonder how many dinner tables we were talked about at! But, I still need to get her hair cut and some sneakers. It will all get done, somehow, someway….

No puppies for Polly :(

Amy D — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:59:59 +0000

On Friday, Matt brought Polly in for her appointment. We kind of knew going in there that there weren’t many, if any at all. Our fears were realized when the doctor said she either reabsorbed them or was having a good false pregnancy. We wouldn’t know without having an ultrasound done, but we declined that.

So what to do now? I have my thoughts, and Matt has his and I’m sure Donna has hers. It’s just a matter if we are all on the same page……which I don’t think we’re going to be. Stayed tuned…..

Thursday’s Things: Splashing in those puddles!

Amy D — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:09:31 +0000

This summer has been kind of on the dry side until this past Sunday. Mother Nature decided to dump a summer’s worth of water on us in one fell swoop. It didn’t stop raining until Tuesday morning. The kennels are under water in some spots and the dogs are atrocious right now! The girls had fun Monday splashing through all the water. They were soaked up to their hips in their jeans! But they were happy and hamming it up for the camera!

Polly, the pregnant bitch….we hope?

Amy D — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:08:48 +0000

So, I finally got around to capturing a picture of Polly today. Not on a weekly target like I had hoped, being the 8th of August was the last and only photo of her to compare this to. I still say she is bred. I don’t think we are looking at 7 or more, maybe 3 or 4. I like to be proved wrong though! So without further ado, I present the pregnant bitch, Polly.

*Please don’t judge me on the horrible coat condition she is in. We just had 2 full days of rain and there is now a pond where the kennel is! She is getting a bath this week come hell or high water…..I guess we already got the high water….*

Matt and I just pulled up her pictures from her last litter and she is not as big as she was then. Who knows, maybe she is having a false pregnancy, or only has 1 in there. I’m hoping for a few! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
