Marion's Birthday

Don't worry, just ignore it, it won't bite!

Ashley, 8, and Rachel, 4, are waiting for them to wake up!

Kayla is keeping an "eye" on the company!

Today, July 8th is Marion's 93rd Birthday! It started with Breakfast in Bed on a sunny day! Family is calling, her granddaughter and 2 great-granddaughters came and brought lunch. Friends have sent cards via email and snail mail. She is really enjoying this day!

The afternoon has turned cloudy, with rain and threat of thunder showers, so we are reading books and will play some "Scrabble" in a bit.

The pups are celebrating today also. They have gained some new freedom. In order to clean up the playpen, I have to put them out on the play rug. Soooo, they are moving around, barking,

getting into what ever they can, and generally driving poor Kayla up a tree, as she like knowing exactly where they are. We put two soft stuffed animals down for them to climb onto, bark at and snuggle up to, and they seem to be interested in them. The pups have been sleeping longer at night (3-4 hours between feedings) and a bit longer between feedings during the day, as we want them to play and move about. Kayla is doing a bang up job of this, as when they first get up she no longer jumps right in with them. She noses them and "woofles" at them and then walks away while they move around a bit. She really is a gem!

I have found out why I can't get the videos to upload. They are not in the right format apparently. I'll see if I can change them and then I'll post them. Talk to you tomorrow- the Pups will be three weeks old then.
