sad day

Well it has been a hard lesson learned at our house today, the puppies were given away and we are holding one for grandpa and grandma.
It is a hard lesson that has hit my daughter pretty hard.
On a positive note though, flowers are planted in outside planters, garden is getting ready to be put in.

puppies

well they are now 5 weeks old.

1 has learned to climb the stairs to get inside (we call her Growler).  she use to growl and fall on her         

    butt at the same time.

the runt is now one of the fattest ones and always picking fights with everyone

Wrong Way decided yesterday to explore the yard and ended up in at the back door when I tried

     bringing everyone in for night time

Snowie has a white head and face and likes to be by herself

we have 2 that like to sleep by themselves (ok we never nicknamed all of them)

That is our life at the zoo at this point and time.  

Hope everyone has a great day (enjoys the laugh)
