The Herd
The moment we let the door to the Iris pen open, the girls (Tipsy, Smoochie, Olive, Barbie and Milly) come running and the out dump the puppies. They all seem to converge in the middle of the living room and usually begin to follow any human that is moving. Like the...

When we have puppies in our "puppy kindergarten" the pen in placed right to eh left pf my desk, giving me the best view on the house. Watching them play, nap and discover their world is beyond entertaining and makes for a perfect break from my mundane daily tasks....
Some Things Never Change
Tipsy is our Diva dog for SURE but she also is very attached to me. You will claim me very chance that she can get, warning off any that attempt to cuddle with me - that is except the puppies. When they try to cuddle up or play on my lap, she let's them but with a...
Do I Smell Lunch?
This afternoon, I had the puppies out playing while Alexis was warming up her meal to sit down and enjoy her lunch. swear, pups and adults alike stopped in their tracks and ran to the gate that goes into the kitchen. They tried with all of their might to fit under...
The Playing Doesn’t Stop
What did I tell you? The Smooch is a play machine! Today's focus is on Georgie along with the falling apart, braided rope toy. Tug-o-war was the game of the day and loosing was not an option - for EITHER of them. To entertaining to not watch actually.
Teething
At this age, the puppies are totally into the teething thing. Luckily, we have plethora of chew toys in our house and this one happened to be drug out from the bottom of the toy box by Smoochie. It weighs as much as they do but that doesn't stop them from dragging it...
Kidd is a Momma’s Boy
When it is play time, the first thing Kidd does is make a bee line for his mommy, Smoochie and the rough housing begins. The two will go at it nonstop. Smoochie is one energetic girl which is a fabulous trait to have when you are the mommy to such energetic puppies!...

He is screaming over the girls in the other room - waiting impatiently at the gate, hoping for any chance to sneak in and fulfill his urges. Yes, Tipsy, Milly AND Olive are in heat! Tipsy in most definitely in handing heat right now - I think we missed her window...
Pickin’ Her Up
I headed out to the Ocala dog show grounds to pick up lil Miss Horney Butt and we are realizing that Tipsy doesn't have a regular heat cycle at all! Three weeks of being swollen and only two days ago did she start to flag. Odd right? Well, they were bred over the...

Mr.Rocky
So on my drive home from the dog show, I happened to see this little Lhasa Apso walking down the sidewalk. It was when I watched him walk aimlessly while panting in the heat that I had to do something. My heart knew this little guy would not fair well in such hot...
We Got 2nd!
Day two in Deland may have been minus Georgie but it was plus a major accomplishment. Tipsy got 2nd place.And when I say 2nd place, I mean against competition. Amazing right? I surly thought so. A tail half way up, a 2nd place ribbon and another heat all in one day....

He Checks Out
We headed up to Deland for the show today and in addition to our show girl Tipsy, I brought Georgie so that he could get acclimated to the dog show environment and of course receive more socialization. Tipsy did very well today but as always, she didn't put her tail...
First and Second
Out to Lady Lake we headed today for the Smooch boys to get their second set of vaccines and the Barbie bunch to get their first. I cannot believe how quickly time has flown - they are 8 and 11 weeks old! They all did wonderfully while getting their vaccines and all...
Major Workout
As we have shared, our sweet Olive has some muscular and balance issues. Her very weak back-end keeps her lounging in a doggy bed, using the sides to lean on. When the puppies first came downstairs, she seemed so torn watching them play. She wanted so much to...

The Smooch Rocks!
Smoochie is seriously one of the best mommies I have ever seen. She is so in-tune with both of her boys and remains young at heart. Every time they get let out of the pen, the boys immediately look for their mommy and she is definitely ready to play. And play hard...
