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.

August, 2016





August, 2016
While I'm laid up with a messed up Achilles in one leg 
and a wicked case of cellulitis (again) in the other,
what better to do than listen to the puppies talking to each other!!



Kati's Brutus got in BIG trouble today - ate part of the title to her brand new car.




Jake from State Farm - one of Mark's best pictures.  That expression!!!!




Ned played hard then fell over asleep.  Right in the kitchen person's workspace.




Pam checking up on Opal with a temp check.




Nicole finally got her Dane!  Miss Cindy Lou Hoo (one of Gussie's babies) went to Canada to live with Cindy and her kitten, Pookie.  They are bonding pretty quickly!!




Late at night (2am).  Only the flamingo and I were awake...




Bonding - One transplant American pup and one Candian Kitteh:




More late night madness:




More bonding:




Discovering that Nicole likes purple as much as Miss Carlene:




Tumbler supervising the kids' dinner:




Thank you, explore and Mr. Charlie, for the new camera!!!




Ariot, always directly off Grace's bow:




Newborn cuddles:




Carlene taking a turn sitting with the new mama, who is exhausted.  LONG labor!!!!




Lots of activity all over the house.  And the "big puppies" are still puppies:




Wait, wait, wait...




Interesting shot - a "shadow-Opal" appeared in the window.  (She was in labor, too!)




The pups outside offered encouragement to the mama-to-be:





 Couldn't resist poking fun at the "changing of the guard".  With a new litter's arrival, 
our "little puppies" suddenly become kindergarteners!




I love puppies on the puppy-bus!!!
(The song reference is an old one, still near and dear to those from Boston!!)




Another song reference - this time to the musical "Oliver!"
The sound of that blender is pure magic to puppy-ears!




Tumbler entertaining the Snails




Miss Donna sitting with a very heavy and ready-to-go Opal:




The little Snails are having so much exploring the kitchen:
