Annie At The Park

I am finally up and running with my new computer, and things are starting to settle down around here. I have many updates to share with everyone, but....since I am so far behind in updating about Annie, here are some photos taken while we were at the park yesterday.

We are having a blast with her. She is enjoying agility class, and is a quick learner. She is a very happy little girl, we couldn't be more pleased with her. She is five and a half months old now. Seems time is going by so fast. As much as I look forward to seeing her mature, and becoming all she can be, part of me doesn't want her to grow up.

She is out with us quite a bit. To her, everyone is her friend, human and animal. Very fond of children, and tends to gravitate toward men when she hears a mans voice.

Around the house she gets along with all the dogs. To our surprise very quiet. She has not picked up the barking from the rest of the crew. We are hoping she doesn't. So nice to have a puppy that doesn't feel they need to bark at every little noise, or every time we walk in and out the door.

Have I mentioned lately how much we love this little girl?

















Next week I will not be posting about Annie. I do need to update about the other critters around here, there has been a lot going on, and I feel I have been a little neglectful with updates on all the other important loves of my life.

My goal now is to start posting weekly again, as time permits.

Computer Problems and More

After many attempts to access blogger, I have finally gotten through. My apologies for my absence. July has not been a very good month for us. First, we were still puppy sitting the Chocolate Labrador puppy until the second week of July, and he took quite a bit of our time, and if I do say so myself, it was a little chaotic around here.

While the house was a bit crazy, things were still running quite smoothly until my Husband ended up in the hospital for a couple of days. We thought it was his heart, fortunately his heart is in good health; and he is ok. I must say I was really sick with worry for a bit, but he is well and everything is back to normal, almost.

My computer crashed a couple weeks ago, so I have been without my computer. I have been temporarily using my husbands laptop, but with this laptop, I have been having trouble accessing blogger, my email, and many other important tasks of mine, until now. My new computer will be here in a week, so hopefully I will be up and running, and be able to catch up on all my reading.

One positive thing that has occurred through the month of July. Annie started her puppy foundation agility class, and is having a blast.

I will update more, once my new computer is up and running.
We hope August will be a much happier and more productive month. Until then, I hope everyone is happy and well.

Puppy Zoomies

This was taken this past weekend when my hubby just arrived home. A typical greeting with the puppy zoomies. Annie is 3.5 months in this video.

Hello, and Annie

A big HELLO to all my blog friends! I must apologize for not writing sooner. Many of you must think the puppy is keeping me busy, but in all honesty, Annie is in a nice routine right along with the rest of my pack and fits right in.

My childcare is keeping me very busy and just a little overwhelmed. Business is going strong, and I have extended my hours, which keeps me away from the computer. With a house full of 2 and 3 year olds, by the end of the day, I just can't concentrate enough to write something worth reading on my blog. Of course my evenings are devoted to the dogs and cats, and lets not forget hubby!

I am trying to rush through this blog post just to get some photos up for all of you that are wanting to watch Annie grow. Blogger took way too much of my time (time I don't have to spare) trying to upload these photos.

We have been getting Annie out every weekend, to different places, so she can meet different people, dogs, and cats, and familiar with new sights, sounds, and smells. She is a very well rounded puppy, and a very confident one.

Please enjoy the photos, and I will try, and this time I will only say "try" to give an update sooner, with all the happenings with the rest of my pack.










We will be puppy sitting a friends 4 and half month old Chocolate Lab for a few weeks, starting tomorrow, hopefully I can find a few minutes during his time with us to post about that experience! Yikes!!
