Puppies!

Hello! I've haven't posted at all this year (yipe! ;D), so I'll fill you in on some of the events that have taken place around here. On Christmas Day, our dog, Kelcie, rather surprised us with six little "gifts." Can you guess what they were?

Precious, isn't he?

I've always suspected that Kelcie was a thoughtful dog...and she proved it by having six puppies. A temporary puppy for each of the puppy-lovin' children in our family...now that's generosity! ;)

Being as these li'l guys were born on Christmas, I thought that we should give them names accordingly. Welll, the family didn't exactly cooperate. Puppy names are as follows:

Buddy, Kirk, Trixie, Chelsea, Bailey, and Zig.

That's right...Zig. Wesley named his that because it has a zig-zag pattern on its back or something like that. Hey, it was either that or Leroy. :/ Ugh, would someone please adopt this puppy so that it can have a normal name? lol As you can see, no Christmas-y names made the list...except my puppy, Bailey. As in George Bailey from "It's A Wonderful Life"? (Er, she could just as easily be your little namesake, dearest Bailey, if you would like to adopt her? Hmmm?) :D

They are at that roly-poly exploring stage right now, so it's rather difficult to get some good pictures, but I'm hoping to take more later. :)

Note: After writing this post, Wesley informed me that he has changed his puppy's name to "Dakota." Now that's better. lol

Our New Puppy!

"Skipper"

Dad brought this sweet li'l fella home today after he and his mother and siblings were abandoned by the side of the road. :( Two of the puppies were hit by cars, but this one and his sister were okay. He is a full-bred mutt (lol) and looks to have some lab in him and possibly collie. Ellie named him Skipper, which I think is very suitable. :D He is on a visit to the vet right now for shots and such, but will be back soon...isn't he the cutest thing?? :)
