Just For Fun!!!

I thought i would share some of the photos that I've taken recently.

When we have a 'photo shoot' with the intent of posting pictures, i may take 20 or 30 pictures of each puppy just to get the 2 - 5 that you see. In the process, i get some really cute, funny pictures.

I've also included some personal pet photos.

Sit back and enjoy!

Yellow Girl getting a pre-flight bath, with Taylor's expert assistance!




Green Boy has to much energy to sit still for a photo!

Guilty as charged!


Here Pink Girl would rather play than take pictures. Matthew tries to pose her again, but as you can see, by the next picture she is actually mid-air!



Red Girl wants a tummy rub . . .

No? I quit!


Chinese Crested female ;-p


This Crested Puff Girl folded her arms and posed herself and was sitting so pretty, but then she started thinking about dinner. . . mmmm!!!

Here, the Chinese Crested Boy thinks he can't move while this "sweater thing" is wrapped around him!!


This one says it all! This little Chinese Boston Chin always lets you know what he thinks!


Fluffy (Schipperke) finishes off the Wheat Thins.

Sally (Wheaten) finishes off the 'squeeze cheese'

Fluffy wants to be the only one photographed. So typical!



EVERYONE helps on the new dog building!
Matthew, Margie (cat), and Casper (Arabian)



I hope you enjoyed our little 'behind the scenes' post.

Be sure to check the previous post to see who is still available, and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks!

Wheatens - a generic update

Hi, Everyone!

I'm so excited to posting a 'regular' post on the new blog (my first blog ever!).

I have not taken pics this week - i hope to do that this evening (along with the other forty-eleven other things ;-)

You would not believe how much the babies are growing. They are weighing around 1lb, 11oz. Last week it was right at a pound!

I have received a deposit from Brian and Sara - each for a male. (Brian, let me know for sure if that is right). Since I had so many people contacting me and sending me deposits around the same time, I'm going by post mark. I know that a couple others have sent deposits. I haven't gone to the PO since Monday, but I promise I'll go this evening.

I've had a crazy, hectic week. For the past few months I've had severe intermittent nausea. Finally a nurse friend suggested an ultrasound which showed a large gallstone. I went to the surgeon (back across the state) for a consult yesterday and will be having surgery the week of the 13th. I'll keep everyone posted. (no pun intended ;-) )

I'll be trying to get some pics this evening.

Take Care,
Karen

About the People!

This post is just to tell you a little about my family so you know the puppies' environment. My mom, myself and my son lived together until recently. When my grandfather passed away we moved across the state to the old family farm to be with my grandmother. We now all live within 100 ft of each other. :-S

On weekends I work 40 hrs at a hospital as a medical lab tech. Sometimes this schedule stinks, but most of the time it is great because I have a lot of days in a row at home to do the big 'maintenance' chores. It also allows a lot of flexibility for taking pups to the airport. On top of it all, I have a great boss that understands if the puppies have to 'call in'. ;-)

Speaking of my weird schedule, if you call on the weekend (Friday evening - Monday noon) you most likely won't get an answer. I will return your call Monday, but e-mail is the most effective means of communication on the weekends.

My son, Matthew, is my delight. He is 14 yo and we home-school during the week. Without his help, the dogs and puppies would not be so well cared for and socialized. And this is done without grumbling and complaining (99% of the time!).

My mom is disabled (mildly) and is home all the time. On weekends she helps with my son and, of course, puppies. Her help and 20+ years of medical/vet experience is greatly appreciated.

Because of our unique living arrangement and schedule, the puppies get interaction throughout the day, every day.

If you want to see a picture of us, go to brownscreekkennels.shutterfly.com. You'll be relieved to know we don't have a 3rd eye or anything. ;-)
