<3 Ginger <3

She had her paw in her mouth but I couldn't get the picture before she moved a bit. It was soooo cute!
Ginger is our favorite puppy. She has her momma's (Abby) sweet temperment. She is laid back, a natural born lap dog, snuggler, and all around awesome dog!
It is going to be difficult to let her go. :(

All puppies are available for purchase and

Fireworks!

We had a lot of fun at the beach. On the way home we stopped at McDonald's for a quick burger and a potty break and discovered fireworks across the street. We stayed to watch. Bonus!

Puppy Kiss

Our puppies are walking and sitting like big dogs, instead of scooching around like little sausages. They are wobbly and clumsy and fall on their little heads (which are rather large compared to their bodies) or tip over and wiggle around on their backs like turtles trying to get upright again. They are like toddlers.
The puppies seem to be constantly moving so taking clear pictures takes patience...and many blurry photos to sort through...and sometimes I use fuzzy pics anyway! LOL
Enjoy the newest photos of our puppies.

Bash

More Sand Creations

Curt did most of the work on this fort. Toward the end of its creation he enlisted Zacs help.
I think everyone, including kids we didn't know, helped create the canal that brings the water to the castle and fort.

Sand Creations

Lil' K made this awesome sand castle. She has a super cool pile of spheres on the right. Neat!

Birds Like Bread!

Bash dropped a piece of flat bread. We didn't want the birds hanging out with us so he picked it up and threw it away from us.
He wasn't thinking and threw it near another family's area so he had to chase them away after they devoured the bread.

The Cheeseburger Mini Bus 1

Caseville is the home of the annual Cheeseburger Festival. They have a large school bus painted in this theme. I'm sure I have pics of this somewhere on this blog. I don't remember seeing this mini bus tho. Of course we had to stop to take pictures!

Beach Feet

We went to Caseville for the day. It was a fun adventure as always!
I often take a pic of my foot (or feet) peeking into a great view of places we visit, sort of like the traveling gnome. My friend suggested that this trips "beach feet" picture could be of everyones feet. The kids were having so much fun I couldn't bring myself to ask them to pose for a scenic view of all our feet so this trips "beach feet" is lacking a view. But what it lacks in view it makes up for in fun...and feet. LOL
When we attempted to take the photo we couldn't get our cameras high enough to capture all of our feet. Someone suggested that we all "put our left foot in" for this photo. We fit perfectly in the frame! And we look great too! LOL

Ouch!

A piece of grass flew in Bash's eye while he was mowing the lawn, actually attempting to mow the lawn, but that's a different story.
This piece of grass may look tiny on my finger but it is huge in ones eye. It was stuck in there for over an hour. We could not get it out and I thought I was going to have to take him to the ER to get it removed.
I kept flushing it with bottled water and it eventually went to the inner corner of his eye & I was able to get it out.
Thank GOD!

Catch A Rainbow...A Puppy Rainbow

I love how Ginger is sprawled out on her back. Daisy is next to her and seems to be considering rolling onto her back also. Too cute.

Look at all those colors! It's like a doggy rainbow in a box...silver/blue, black, fawn, chocolate. Awesome.

Six Little Puppies Lined Up In A Row

Abby's puppies started out napping in a messy pile and moved themselves around until they were in an orderly row. How cute!

Mercy Had Her Puppies!

On June 6th Mercy had 9 puppies! She had two blacks, a blue/silver, a chocolate, and several chocolate/black/fawn/silver combos.
Now we are up to our elbows in puppies! LOL
FUN!

Abby Had Her Puppies!

Her puppies arrived on June third. It was an interesting event because Bash had his home visit for school at the same time.
She has six puppies in a variety of colors. We cannot know for sure the colors of the pups until their eyes open and their nose colors come in. It seems that she has either a silver or a blue female, which is supposed to be rather rare in the chihuahua world. She also has a fawn (if her nose turns black) or a chocolate (if her nose turns liver colored)female. She has a black female, and three males that are all varying shades of chocolate, fawn and black in brindle or sable color patterns.
These colors will change a bit and the patterns will develop. I am excited to see which direction they go!
Abby and Gus are tiny dogs and the puppies weighed 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 ounces the day they arrived. According to the chihuahua growth chart, they will grow to be 2 to 3 1/2 pounds full grown. Those weights are estimates and can vary by a pound in either direction.

My New Frizzie!

I got an original Frizzie for my birthday. My mom has been making them, and I have been admiring them.
What is a Frizzie? It is an original, one-of-a-kind work of art. Each creation even has it's own name. (Mine is called "Naughty"...I wonder if my parents are trying to tell me something. Just kidding. LOL) The Frizzie begins with a re-purposed and felted colorful wool sweater and ends as a fabulous one-of-a-kind bag (purse, backpack, clutch...) with colorful lining and pockets inside, and a coordinating flower(the flower is called something else but I can't remember what), and beautiful beaded fringe and trim on the outside.
My Frizzie Bag is blue, one of my favorite colors. :)
I love it!
