Isaac, our grandson, loves to lay by the babies when they are so little. He is mesmerized by their little tails!

Delilah had her puppies! One female, six males!! This litter will be ready
for their new homes June 18. We have a male puppy available, if this is
good timing for you, please fill out a puppy application and I will call you
for a phone interview. Our next litter will be born around July and ready
in September, between Jasmine/Captain.

Our grand daughter Elaina was so happy to play with her eggs and basket…..until the puppies found her!

Yesterday Christie came over with Samuel and Elaina. Elaina will turn one on March 22, and Samuel will turn 4! It was so fun to sit outside with the puppies on such a gorgeous day. When I watch how each of my grand-children interact with the puppies, I think I am the luckiest person on earth! I love kids and I love dogs….the two together doesn’t get any better! Last year at this time our son David had just gotten married, so we had a new daughter. Their wedding was so amazing. It was such a powerful moment when they said their vows. I felt so proud of the man he has become, and the choices they have made. Two weeks later Nate and Kelly gave birth to our first grand-daughter, Avery Evelyn! What a miracle. Perfect eyes, heart, fingers! Then four days later Sean and Christie had Elaina Evelyn. Well, I am the happiest grandma in the world!! Both girls are named after my mom, one of the most giving and loving people I have ever known. To see her legacy of love live on in my children, and now grandchildren is so amazing. This week the work really steps up, as the mothers take less care, and we take on more….but in all the business, I love taking time to drink in the moment, and watch my grandson run around screaming in delight as the puppies chase him. Life is grand.

Isaac turned two last week and spent a couple days with us.  I never dreamed being a grandparent would be so rewarding.  As I watch Isaac with Russ, learning how to plant sweet corn, feed pigs and water the cows, I am amazed at his personality and how intriged he is with life.  I pray that as he grows, he will love and serve the Lord all the days of life. It doesn’t get any better!

Ivy gave birth to nine beautiful puppies April 19. Samuel loves to help with the puppies. This litter is spoken for, but we are expecting to breed Ruby and Jasmine this month. Captain is the father. Those puppies will be born in July and ready for their new homes late August or early September. Please submit a puppy application if you are interested.

Yesterday we went to a professional photographer with my grandson Isaac and 3 of the puppies.
