Water Dog


Big is on a mission to empty the water dish. Watch what happens when a bug buzzes him. If it flies, it dies...

Going Green


King of the Lid!







Preparing to jump down



It takes a pack to tip over the recycling.


It took Eucker 2 seconds to walk in the bin and bring out a beer can. He could have chosen a pop can...

Supper Time


This is the pack waiting for their dinner. We all must wait quietly to eat. Dont they look like little angels? Refer to the recycling post...

Here is Eucker discovering his 1st pheasant. He pounced on it as if he were the greatest hunter of all times!

Group Photo


Yesterday 2 puppies were picked to go to their new homes. We thought we better take a group picture. From left to right: Mpita B/F, Zuri Y/F, Chapua Y/M, Eucker B/M, Walter Y/M, Winda Y/F, Nia Y/F, Lonja Y/M, Sudi B/M.

Say Hello to Mpita (Traveler). She was born in the truck on the way to the Vet. She is inquisitive but not too agressive. she is always in the action. Right now she is the female to watch - using her nose and trying to potty away from the crowd. At this age there isnt much more to her world!




We got lucky with this action shot. Longa (Big) ran from the porch into the kitchen with a 2.5 foot long toy snake. Notice Zuri (beautiful) in mid air about to stop him in his tracks. At one point we had 7 puppies tugging on that poor snake...

Food Discovery!



Cant you just imagine the conversation?

Mpita: Psst Sud - get over here, I smell lunch!

Sudi: Yeah, me too. Whats the deal with the blue box?

Mpita: If we both push on the lid we can chow down like Kings!

Sudi: Are we gonna let the yellow guy in on it?



Puppies can fall asleep just about anywhere. Even on the move.







Who do you think is in control here?


Winda isnt the only one carrying everything she can fit in her mouth... she is just the one we could get a picture of.

This is Longa (Big) on a toy pheasant. The look on his face was priceless. He had no idea that the toy was there...


Then wham, he pounced and took the pheasant for a good run through the kitchen.


Zuri making her 1st waterfowl retrieve at 4 weeks old...sort of.

It looks like Angie will be taking home 2, maybe 3 puppies if Hailey has her way!

These are some fast puppies in their own minds! They are so funny to watch - big dog growls, puppy yips and guard dog barks that come out so hard they back up the pup. I bought them a duck and a pheasant for play today. Can't wait to see what happens with them!

Moving Day

They have grown so fast they need a bit bigger pen. Here Amy plays with them while we set up the new digs.








Jabari hunts dust bunnies. Here he is fresh from under the sewing machine.

Longdo (Big) likes to lay in the pile of toys.

Dixie got out her Roadkill and offered to play with the pups. By the time I got the camera dixie moved on but Zuri was on a coon hunt!

Things I have learned: Puppy chow is to concrete what puppy spit is to mortar...

The grass is always greener...

Jabari thought he might like to take the short cut. Here he is high and dry on the pup rail. He eventually wriggled off and took the long way around.

Winda is headed for stardom and needs shades to disguise who she is from the paparazzi!








Rats & Cats - Busted!







This Hollywood lifestyle can be brutal, feels like naptime.

Good morning from the pack!

Lots of milestones to report. Today at lunch time Dixie returned to her porch window to keep a watchful eye on the deer and turkeys that threaten to over run her yard. She still cant be bothered with chasing a squirrel but the turkeys needed to be put into the air!








Dixie fed the pups on the office floor last night. When she was done Lonja decided to see if the toy squirrel was a food source.

Our black female Mpita focused on me and wagged her tail late last night. I swear she recognizes me... really.






Sudi became the 1st pup to escape the whelping box. It was a valiant attempt yet a hollow victory. His freedom was shortlived once we added a 2nd board to the opening.
