Pearl Jam moving to Arkansas

Pearl Jam is on her way home to Arkansas with a great family.

Looks like there is alot of potential for her to be really spoiled.

Tuck is doing amazing! He goes to the door when he needs to potty and we went swimming and he was fearless! He jumped in so many times and chased crow around as well! I think he's going to for in just fine! And he loves his bed ! He backs up and then runs and jumps on it! He's already got a million toys but his favorite is this stuffed shark! I'll send a pic!

*** Crow is a Southern Star Mini from a last years litter ***

UPDATE 7/1/11 :
He slept the entire night! On his bed right by mine he whined one time and I let him out to potty and he came in got on his bed and went to sleep! He's amazing!

Puppies Started Leaving the Nest Yesterday :(

Kid Rock aka "Quinn" was the first to go, followed by Daughtry aka; "Tucker" this morning... My camera is not working real well and I missed the pictures of thier departure...
The first follow up letter is in....

Hi, Leslie

Thought you might be wondering how Master Quinn is doing. First of all...let me thank you for the amazing way you raise your puppies. This little guy is so well adjusted I'm thinkin' the rest of us might need counseling. He took to his new surroundings surprisingly well; very quiet last night. Of course my husband wakes naturally about 4:00. When I realized Quinn had not made a sound at all during the night, I was afraid I had somehow killed him. No worries, though. He was very sleepy in his kennel and looked at us as if we had some problem with our sight as it was still dark outside. But, when I put him back to bed when Wayne left, he found his inner puppy and let me know he wasn't happy with the situation. He definitely has good lungs lol... after a bit he quieted down and we all went back to sleep.

He and Sookie are doing well. She is a little possessive, mostly about Wayne, but we are working through it and they are getting acquainted and beginning to play. Frankly, I don't think Sookie can decide if she is suppose to defend against him, befriend him or mother him. I'm sure she will come to the right decision soon.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have Quinn in our family. He has already captured our hearts and we can't wait for all the adventures to come.

Kitty Introduces Herself to the Puppies

Our barn cat thinks she is a dog ! She entered the back yard not realizing she would be mauled by 9 energetic puppies. It went from sweet Puppy Kisses to a Kitty Headlock when she had enough. "nobody was injured & no feelings were hurt"

Puppy PlayGround

Many visitors think I have a "daycare", actually everything you see are puppy toys.

Going into the 7th week, puppies are active and are learning how to maneuver

through all the play obstacles while running from each other.

First Car Ride

Thier first car ride started early while still cool (84) and before breakfast. Loaded the gang up and headed out in complete silence, but then suddenly I found myself looking for ear plugs. We made stops at the post office, bank, and feed store and returned home in about an hour. The last half of the trip was very peaceful with most of the pups sound asleep, while others just looked about.
*** The Quiet Award goes to Styx aka Cody who never made a peep the entire trip*** Thank You Cody !!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my little man! He is still a crazy puppy but his grown-up personality is starting to show and he’s just the sweetest, most laid back dog ever. Other than thunder, nothing rattles him. You only gently have to tell him “no”, when he’s doing something bad. He just tries so hard to please and is always trying to read us to see what we want. He lets my daughter hug, squeeze and drive him crazy and he is SUCH a Mamma’s boy and follows me around everywhere. I am head over heels in love with him as is my husband, daughter and Tyler!!! He’s perfect for our family. So glad we found him through you!

Puppy Play VIDEO - 5 weeks old

Now 5 Weeks Old

The Texas weather has heated up, near 100 the last couple days.

Pups enjoy being in the house much more than outside right now which

makes picture day tough. They seek out shade from the bushes or stay underfoot as if to say, "pick me up and take me back in the house, what are you thinking?"

There are 2 5 week video links on my actual website, 1 indoors, and 1 outside that shows how long their tonques are... :)
