Normally we would have tank tops…

and shorts, or better yet sundresses on!  However, summer in the Northwest has decided to hide her face to us so far this year.  Vonney decided that a blue cocktail would be our substitute for sunshine – Yum!

Her house matches our drinks…her retro decorating is so much fun to photograph. 

I decided we need a porch shot, sweaters and all…aren’t we adorable?

This meal had to be in my post…it was tasty and so beautiful!

      Happy Summer where ever this post finds you~

Kingston Labradoodles is on its way...

Friday  Saturday Night....wooohoooo!!! 

Today Fairborn Guy not only commanded the Kirby, sucking up all the dust bunnies of late, but he also gave Sami a bath.  She is looking pregnant for sure, her tummy is swelling and her milking devices are kicking into development mode. 

So without further ado...

I am very excited to introduce you to her mate, Starbucks of Seattle Labradoodles!

Starbucks is a stocky sturdy fellow, whose Labrador-like build will compliment the slender build of our Sami girl.  I enjoyed watching them flirt...they took to each other right away.  Though I have whelped all three of Sami's former litters, I have not had the pleasure of attending the breedings. I have been looking forward to this event...my first, very own, litter of Mulit-Gen Miniature Australian Labradoodles.

I can't wait till Sept 1st!!  The puppy breath will smell heavenly.

Let The Weaning Begin

The least favorite of my six week puppy journey has arrived...it is time to begin the weaning process. No more sweet puppy smells of joy when snuggling with them.

They will now smell like smeared food and waste unless I bathe them.

I slept in till 10:15 this morning, I think it was an attempt to avoid the inevitable.

Eventually Fairborn Guy and I went to the store for instant Goat's Milk. When I arrived home I prepared the baby swimming pool outside for my feeding area and quickly peaked out the front door to see if Fairborn Guy wanted to watch the pups get their first taste of food. I was delighted to spy my sweet neighbor Junne walking by so I flagged her into the back yard to join me in the fun.

All 5 were ravenous

Had to snap a quick shot of me with my weaning witness before she continued on her walk.

Thanks for joining me Junne...you little shy thing you!
