Update on the puppies.....

I just wanted to take a moment to update everyone on the puppies. They are doing well and growing very quickly. They are all walking now and a few of them are trying to bark. It is so sweet! From left to right in this picture you have Chase, Snowball, Chai, and Pixie. They are becoming so playful and just a joy to be around.

Here is Chase......

Here is little Chase. He is without a doubt the leader of the group. He has tons of personality and you can see it in this picture. He plays with fingers and loves to wrestle with the other puppies. What a precious puppy. He is built most like a miniature pincher of the whole litter.

Here is Pixie.....

Here is little Pixie. She is absolutely precious and has the longest hair of all of the puppies. She is quite the little princess making sure that she gets plenty of sleep!

Here is Chai......

Here is Chai and she is just adorable. Her coat is the darkest and her eyes are so inquisitive! She has ears just like her mama and is walking little bits at a time. Too cute!!!

Here is Snowball....

This is snowball and his face is so cute! He has a little white tuft of hair on his chin that is adorable! He is so soft and his hair is a little longer than the others. He has tons of personality and is fun to watch.

4th of July

On this fourth of July I understand more than I have ever in my past, the sacrifice that our servicemembers make to ensure that our freedom is protected. With my husband deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I understand that there are so many men and women that put their lives on hold for thier country. The veterans of our past served in times of war that did not allow them the luxury of email or phone calls. Before that we had veterans of a war that declared our freedom as a nation. This fourth of July, just take a moment to think about the struggles that our nation persevered through and how very blessed we are as a nation. I am thankful for all of the founders of our great nation as well as the veterans. This fourth of July I honor the men and women that are currently serving our country. Please take a moment to pray for them. Get to know of a soldier from your community and pray for them. There is nothing more powerful than prayer! Happy fourth of July and God Bless!

Snowball

I wanted to update all of you on the puppies. They are just so sweet and lovable. They are all growing very well and Jazzy is doing a great job with them. Here is Snowball. He is the softest of all of the puppies. He is only just starting to open his eyes and loves to sleep. He is quite a sweet puppy with his white beard! :)

Chase

This is Chase. He was the last born but seems to be the first to do everything. He opened his eyes several days ago and has just started walking on all four paws this morning. He is the largest by only a little bit now and is very sweet and playful!

Chai

Here is Chai. She was the first born and is about the same size as Chase and Snowball now. She has opened her eyes and is very sweet. She is the darkest of the browns and is quite the cuddler!

Pixie

Here is our sweet Pixie. She is so sweet and still the smallest of the litter. She is the last one to open her eyes as well. She is just now trying to open them but you aren't able to see it easily yet. She looks just like her mommy except that she has white dipped on her back paws. Precious!!!

Jazzy

And finally, here is the proud mama who is very much a skinny dog again! Wouldn't it be great if humans were able to go back to their original weight this easily! She is such a good mama and we are very proud of her.

Here is proud mommy Jazzy with her puppies. They are all so sweet and she is such a good mom! On the left with the dark bottom you can see Chai, then on top you can see Chase going in for more food! Just to the right of Chase and under Jazzy's paw you can see Snowball. Way up under Jazzy's neck is Pixie. You can see her tail by Jazzy's eye if you look closely! I am so impressed with how wonderful a mom Jazzy is! It will be so much fun to see the puppies grow!

And finally we have Chase. He was the last born of the litter and has passed up his siblings by becoming the largest of the litter! He is so mild mannered and never cries. His face is a beautiful tan and he has some adorable dark spots above his eyes. I am so anxious to see the puppies grow. They are so adorable! This little guy loves being held and cuddling with his siblings.

Here is our sweet little Pixie. She is the smallest in the litter but is holding her own! She looks just like her mommy and is so very sweet. Most of the time she is huddled up underneath Jazzy's front paws or laying on her neck. She is a cuddler and won't fight to get to eat if she is more comfy laying with her mommy!

This one is such a sweetheart! Her name is Chai and she is the darkest of the browns in the litter. She was the first born and is so sweet. She was the largest at birth by far, but Chase (the last puppy born) has passed them all up! Chai is a dark brown with dark paws and tail! She is very sweet and loves to cuddle with her mommy near her paws.
