Regrets - I've Had a Few...

Someone on the explore chat suggested I keep a blog of my pictures that I caption. After a huge search, some pilfering, and digging through old files, I've found most of them. Thanks to all the CPs who helped - I learned a lot doing this! The pics were a wonderful archive of fabulous memories of the last six months since I learned to do some photo-shopping and captioning. Some are still missing: I really wish I had the pic of the giraffe peeking into the business meeting in the new G-tent, Dutchie adventures on Puppy Hill and Neal's arrival in the nursery, the antics of the puppies at WCC trying to reach the window in the PEC or heading down to the river for a swim.... I'm hoping some pop up from time to time in the Facebook pages - it seems pics do occasionally resurface with whatever algorithm FB uses. But from now on, I intend to keep adding them to the blog - my own memory book for SDP and WCC.

If, by any chance, you've saved one of my captioned pics to your own files somewhere, could you PM it to me? Thanks!! Enjoy the trip back down memory lane.

March - the Month After the Winter that Wasn't

(We're not complaining!!)

Gretchen and Zeppelin in #10

The little donkeys checking out a spring day

Zepster and Gretch again

Miss Audrey Hepburn Ray has been working hard all week helping Mama and Daddy clear behind the Arena

wait wait wait...

Two SDP pups discover they live close to each other and have a playdate:

The Starlets all had their first birthday celebrated on March 11th

Miss Audrey Hepburn Ray now has her own FaceBook page!

The three newest arrivals - one mini-horse and two donkeys:

Janine Jacques - a good woman!

Little Buddy, Jr. makes friends with the mini-horse:

Oops. Magnus had a misadventure with one of the guinea hens today.

We all know he really didn't mean to.

But, they were THERE!!!

Audrey, being even more adorable than usual:

The Dutch girls are in #9 and #10 for the next step in their training:

I challenged the CPs to help me finish a sonnet about ARiot and her purple pillow.

I think they did a GREAT job!!!

My friend, Murray Hill. He's a rescue that keeps a pretty funny FaceBook page. He lives with his brother, Peter, his mom, and "Mr. Excitement". Mom was leaving on a business trip so Murray was wondering if he should have a locket so he can't forget what she looks like....

(Not a political statement.) I just loved the expression on the pup's face as he watched the Governor sign a bill regulating puppy mills into law. We need better laws in ALL the states!

Kooper and Breeze - two beautiful rescue pups who live with my friend Ralph in Wisconsin. Besides being adorable, they are training as therapy dogs. In the meantime, they raise oodles of money for Canine Cancer research.
