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.

Waiting...Waiting...Waiting...

So, our little Daisy caught us all by surprise and just popped out her foal when almost no one was looking!  Fast forward to little Josie - She starts displaying ALL the signs of imminent delivery and the CPs get all geared up for yet ANOTHER miracle happening at Crazy Acres!  Sign on, get snacks and drinks and tissues at hand - "We're gonna have a baby!!!!"

We are SO ready!!!!

We are.

Ready.

Waiting.................



Josie has decided that she's going to drag this out for a day.  

We'll have to see how long this goes on.
