Sounds Like Life to Me.....

They say that life is a Country Western song....and recently, I would agree. My life is being sung by Darrly Worley...."Sounds like life to me, plain old destiny. Yeah the only thing for certain is uncertainty"

It all started when Kathy Knox told me to put Nell up for a while....."give her some time off" and "now would be a great time to breed her"...said lovingly (I'm sure) to this OCD person who works dogs every day. Knowing that Nell would never come into heat...ever....I decided to buy a young girl to put some time on...take some pressure off Nell while keeping me busy. I am a better person when kept busy!

Introducing L&M Belle (who I call Bella because Nell and Bell just did not work!) Yep, that's right....she came with the "gift with purchase" option....just like a great Clinique promo! I wondered when she went off food......thought she might be stressed.....then she started puking in the car.....never have had a motion sensitive dog....but then she started "developing" and a vet friend palpated a couple "gifts" and my vet confirmed with an ultrasound. Not that time would not have told the truth of the matter!

Five beautiful baby girl pups......Bella the proud mom! Here is one pup the day she was born.....they grew....and grew.....

and they grew......now they are three weeks old today. Cuter than baby's butts and little lambs! Eyes are open....they are growling and playing and....well, I am sure life is going to get just a little more complicated here in the coming weeks!Time to make some lemonade......and my shameless promotion.

I do believe these girls are going to make really nice working dogs! They certainly have the genetic make-up and are being raised to be well rounded dogs.
