I had the most wonderful time this last Saturday. I was invited to the happy celebration of 1 year old “babies” of Belle and Chief. After finally finding the Wilsonville Dog Park I was lucky enough to visit the puppies and their owners and look each into their eyes.
Good to see who they have become, who they were, and who they are becoming!
Thanks to Luna’s family to putting it all together. From emails a good time was had by all (including the doodles of course).

Blossom (Daisy) is blossoming; waddling as she gets closer to whelp. Such a sweetheart.
I will try to get more current pictures this weekend. But, since there are several “Daisy” girls I thought I would add a picture of her. Her “paper” name is Blossom, but daughter calls her “Miss Daisy”.

I just thought this was too cute not to send.
Have a great sunny day!

We had this cell phone message from Muse’s family:
Here’s a photo of a very tired puppy princess. She is most definitely looking pregnant…don’t you think?
(Vicky and Jeff both say yes, Muse is in a motherly way! But, we leave you to judge).

Jeff plans to visit Muse on Monday to confirm her puppy status. Her forever family thinks she is.
We will keep you posted!

Tonight I worked on coming up with a blog header to work with my current theme. I am close I think. Here is what I have so far: Click on the photo so that you can see the doodle pictures I added in the letters.
Our babies; or some of them. I continue to work on the photos and getting them in one spot. I think your going to really like the way I am having them organized by litter and mom/dad; and then have the updates. Finally, I have the draft password protected resource pages that I am thinking to add a forum with as well. I want to ponder the structure so it all works in a smooth way, so when this is done we can all just doodle.
I smell fun!
School starts soon (I hear a collective sigh from parents everywhere!) and I am also helping some schools after hours with some web and publication work to get them ready to welcome their students back with posters, graphics and some fun data/web interfaces. *stop me before I volunteer again*. It has been very hot this last weekend and the dogs have been enjoying a pool setup however I am going through towels like mad.
Blossom (Daisy) is getting round now, and she is having motherly pains and not sure what she thinks about it. She is such a precious girl and I think she thinks she is a person; just verbally impaired. I wish I could tell her that it is all normal to feel puppies movement and it is not gas. The amazing thing about Daisy, I have never heard her bark. She reminds me of Elmo from sesame street days; cute, furry, loveable. She will be a first for us in the “small” department but her line is solid and I love her fleece coat and knowing eyes of Libby. Muse reminds me of Grace with a bit more block but smaller overall. Her personality has a bit more of Muse in her, her name does fit. Her foster/forever family call her Ruffy.
Jeff and Daughter gave her a tummy shave and sani cut after she swam in the pool. I swear, daughter would probably purchase her sunglasses. Daughter’s honey surprised us one recent night to have a talk and I saw such a nice man show up. He visited without daughter and we got to know him.
Muse we think might be pregnant. We were not sure after she visited Chief for the first time and then at her “foster/forever” home she showed signs of not being. Now she might be. The best way to know is to see so we plan to go visit her wonderful family.
Jeff was very successful on his “day trip” of fishing for Tuna this last weekend while I performed some family “obligations”. Bonnie, Jeff, and I started a watercolor class for three days on painting furry friends. Yes, I have Jeff watercoloring; but that is for another post.
xx enjoy the last days of summer my friends!

Happy birthday to our lineage; the two year olds from Gracie/Chief first litter! Wow; time flies and now finally you have your dog. It takes two years to get it down just right and again, we are thrilled with the results. Congrats again to Echo in the Netherlands. Videos coming soon. I love them all like grandkids. Thanks for the updates my dears!
