Puppies 1st Birthday!

We had a fantastic time! Thanks everyone for coming out and for being such wonderful parents!

First time seeing eachother after almost a year and it was like time hadn't passed.

Oliver and Sasha still look like twins! Except Sasha's tail went curly! Tico was very happy to see his brothers! Joey is so handsome!

Oscar did not seem to mind his party hat.
I think in this picture Oscar, Tico and Sasha are either trying to get out or trying to get first sniff at the next dog coming in.

Don't believe what they say - dog wrangling is not as easy as it looks.

The puppies 1st birthday cupcakes I made!
And in case anyone forgot what their momma looks like, here is Pichu.
this is how we celebrated tico's big day.
and now the party is over. time for bed kids.

Howl-o-ween Hounds

Pichu & Tico

one of the best things in my life - cuddling with my dogs
it's extremely hard to get a good picture of pichu and tico together so this was a coup
pichu princess

pichu was sooooo good with Maddie. She played tug with her and was super gentle. Pichu is going to be a great big sister to our kids :)

Tico - 6 Months

He's usually not this regal.

Look at that tongue!

Sorry it's been so long!

Play time.

Kisses.



Pretty eyes.



What?! It wasn't me.



The serious face.



40 pounds now. Bunkie is 62. Not sure if he'll end up bigger than her. The growth seems to be slowing.



All the puppies are so adorable. Here's Sasha at 5 months. He's right about 40 pounds, and a little trouble maker, but soooo funny. He makes me laugh all day long. He just got his big dog bark, too. Had to include some of him with Bunkie because they are so cute together and pretty much inseparable. Bunkie is a new dog at 9 years old. Sasha has brought her 100% out of her post ACL surgery funk. Runs, jumps, and plays like a puppy again herself. This is a house of total silliness.  Thanks again for this little guy.  We just love him.

JOEY & PHREDDY - "urban socialization"

Joey and Tico were the biggest kids. Looks like things aren't changing. Joey was as big as his cousin Preddy at 8 weeks.

KODI @ 4 months

LOOK AT LITTLE GIRL! not so little right? she was the runt and the only girl of our litter - look how awesome she's doing! Thanks Ellen and Steve!
