Loving my boys


Seeing we still have four puppy boys, I now have a total of 5 boys who need their turn sitting in 'moms' lap. Here I was sitting with Romeo at my side, with his head on my shoulder, Ti upside down getting his belly rubbed and then Soggy decided he needed to get in on the action as well! Willow is sitting to the right of Romeo, and Bow was napping on the couch (he's the one in the furthest to the right). Also on the couch was Izza and Hunter but not included in the photo.

Hunter's accident


Poor little hunter has had his first accident. The boys are still small enough that they fit through the holes in our fence line which separates the dogs from the horses. Each morning and night when I feed the horses, the puppies are climbing through the fence and running out amongst the horses while I'm out there. All has been OK up until Tuesday, September 2nd. I was putting a fly mask on one of my mares who stepped backwards and shifted her feet, stepping right on hunter's front paw. Luckily the x-ray and vet confirmed that it is not broke, but very sore and swollen. Ever since the accident his daddy has been very worried about him. Romeo keeps giving him kisses and even tries to lick Hunter's paw. This is a common sight around here this week, Romeo laying with his boy keeping him company and fretting about him.
