Why I love my dogs and puppies.

I am growing very attached to the puppies. It is soooo relaxing to come home and go out to the garage and sit and watch the puppies and their moms. Then, I bring a few in at a time, and cuddle with them. I am a little partial to a few of them. It always happens. I want to make sure they go to good homes and to people who have the "dog lover" gene. Some people don't have that "dog lover" gene and wouldn't make good pet owners. Unfortunately, for my husband and kids, I do have the gene. My own Dad has 4 Dashaund dogs and we always grew up with them. I have a pillow in my family room that says "Never trust anyone who doesn't love dogs".

Talking about our Labs....this summer I taught all four of the white ones how to dive in the pool for their toys. Eventually, Buddy, my blonde male was able to dive high and accurately nail his target in the pool, and without getting most of his head wet. Pearl is a very, very good hunting dog and comes from that lineage. She will be delivering pups in just a few days. Not sure if she will throw any colors besides blonde. This summer I plan on taking all of the dogs out in the field and training them to retrieve. We have surronding fields on all 4 sides of our home. We have done this with Hershey and he can retrieve now by smell. Sometimes though, he gets lazy when he hears the golfcart bell and comes for a ride back! He is tried and true and a great companion for my husband. He was a gift to my husband after his heart surgery and a very blessed one.

Signing off for now....I hope you enjoy the new pics..will post some more soon...
