Hunter

It has been brought to my attention that I have not posted any pictures of Hunter, Bailey's son. Here is a picture taken the day Lisa and Wes picked him up. He is posing with Cyndi shortly after we arrived back home on August 11, 2012.

This is a picture of Hunter taken on September 24th waiting in my daughter's car.

Rabies Shots

Today Bailey and Emma went for their annual Rabies Shots. They had a clinic at our Vets office. Did you know that you can get Rattlesnake shots now that will protect them in case of snake bite. $20 but it would be worth it. Alas, I only had enough for Rabies so we will have to wait a bit. They have shots for Lime Disease, Influenza, and their must have been a list of 5 to 10 more. We always get the DLPT and the Rabies each year but there are several new ones now that should be considered.

They went off exploring a couple of days ago and came back covered in burs. There were so many that I had to cut a lot out and now they both look like they had a cheap haircut. I love fall but hate the burs. I have been keeping them on a short leash since the bur mess but I know that they enjoy running without a leash.

Bailey is a Dad

It's offical, Bailey is the proud papa of 5 boys and 3 girls. Samantha gave birth to the litter early Thursday morning. Here is a picture of the mother and her pups.

Today is Bailey's third birthday. He has grown into such a handsome dog. We got his and Emma's DHLPP shots today. They are good for two more years on Rabies.

Here are the two together. They are always getting into something. Could not ask for better more loving dogs.

Bailey is going to be a Daddy!

We took Bailey to visit his new mate last Friday. If all goes well we should be having puppies on or about June 23, 2012. My little man is now a stud. He spent 5 days at the home of his girl and now we just set back and wait.

Time Goes By

Time sure fly's by, as Emma will be 4 next month. She is such a beautiful dog. She and her brother from a different mother, Bailey have such fun together. Baily will be 3 in June. These two Golden's frolick, run, and play the day away. It must be great to be a dog. So much to see, so much to smell. To run as fast as you can and then flop down and take a nap. Maybe if I am lucky, I will come back as a dog in my next life. Of course it would be my luck to have an owner than kept me chained and alone. No, I would not want that. My dogs are very spoiled. They are members of the family. Whoever gets to the couch first gets the best seat. We share almost everything except the items that are not good for dogs. They sleep right beside us on the bad and go with us everywhere in the car. We certainly have a special relationship with our dogs.

The woods of North Carolina are a great place to be in the Winter. Now that the leaves have fallen and the brush has died back it is heaven for a dog to run at his or her heart's content. We have lots of deer and every once in a while they chase after one but they never really get close. We took Emma to a Christmas Parade in December and she meet her first horses. I don't think she knew what to make of the giant creatures.

Today is a beautiful cool sunny day and they are outside enjoying every moment.
