The weeks, the days, the moments, the minutes, all smash together and days seems like weeks ago and these moments seem like hours ago. The minutes fly by like the world is ending and the babies grow so fast they eat up everything and anything that I throw at them every second of my day. Hence no blog post last week! Sorry about that everyone! I consume it all not nearly as fast as they do and I try to keep up with them the best I can but their rate of learning has an extremely high and rapid curve.  They look up at me with soulful eyes asking what's next, what can I do for you now. It's all so astonishing and fascinating to me. Their personalities these past 2 weeks have exploded, blossomed and bloomed and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each and every one of these amazing little babes. A yip, a yap, a spin a twist, a sidle, a snuggle, a blink,  a cry, a whimper, a flinch, a smile... yes, I'm completely captivated and in awe of them all. What's ingrained.. what's going to be environmentally affected.. is it a one offer or is it their deep-down core personality, it's all up in the air and I try my very very best to decipher it all.

 


Food gets consumed by the bucketfuls around here every day and I'm not sure if the bellies get bigger or the legs get longer but oh my gosh the cuteness is beyond fathom. The spice babies in the beach babies are doing incredible and getting around even climbing up the stairs of the little slide and having a blast heading head first down the other.



The Bug Babies are also doing very well, they took a little bit longer to get moving and to burn off the extra weight that they packed on from the beginning but really have their footing sure and their confidence high.



I have been in contact with all of their families daily and been spoiling them with updates and photos of their on-going progress. This past week I’ve been ‘slacking’ on sending out as many photos because these little busy bees have been keeping me extremely busy!  I have also been doing family visits for all these babies and that eats up the rest of my waking moments. The visits have been phenomenal though and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed spending time with everyone sharing these wonderful babies.

 

 

The family visits are always filled with itchy energy to get eager little hands on these amazing little cream puffs. Frantic? Chaotic? Wild frenzy? people ask me. None of the above as all of what I do is pure joy, love, care, fulfillment and over the top feeling of being blessed beyond belief to be able to do what I do each and every day.

 


The smiles that wash over people’s faces are priceless. The welling up of tears in the eyes that were nearly overflowing at knowing but they were fulfilling a dream or starting a new chapter was all I needed to know that I am blessed to be able to have this opportunity to be part of it all.

 


Last weekend we had our grand ‘Sea of White’ Reunion with 17 of my past dogs and 40 family members. I was speechless at how many people turned up and I was overjoyed to see all my ‘my’ pups once again. Playing, romping, rolling, chasing, river swimming and tons of laughing, catching up and visiting was had.
