When the earth wakes up and spring unfolds with a BELLY BUMP!

The energy of spring is certainly in the air, tucked into every nook and cranny. The air feels lighter- brighter- warmly inviting. The dogs prance, dance, sing and itch on their backs as if they are forcing the earths waking power into their bodies. Even the cat flips and rolls, soaking in the same rising energy as the earth wakes up. All of them burst from their slumber in the wee early mornings hours, twisting and tumbling belly-up into the morning not yet awake itself. Happier to be alive then anyone I've ever encountered. There's more joy in their 6 o'clock romp than any self-proclaimed "morning person" could ever possess. With each passing day this week, the air grows warmer at dawn - the earth wakes up and gently invites spring to come and say hello to us all. What a magnificent shift this week as this energy of spring brings excitement for all that lies ahead.

Isla definitely popped out this week! Such a blooming blossoming belly bump on this beautiful happy girl. It almost happened over night. With her mini chuck it ball in her mouth she "rrrr rr ...rrrrr's" with her signature happy sound like an engine not quite turning over. We limit her ball chasing, but gently toss it into the air for her to re catch over and over and over again. With a tail that could power a boat, she is one happy girl.

Our Leia girl has also lost her girly figure - bashfully batting her beautiful eyelashes and casting a sideways glance, hoping no one has noticed her waist line quietly disappearing. The stage of pregnancy that no one loves but we all go through. Stunningly beautiful and glowing in all her glory nonetheless.

I was determined to get some photos of Tonka this week but it took us all week to collect even a handful. Such a love bug of a boy, I turn in his direction and instantly he wants my full attention and open lap. SO hard to capture shots of him but caught a few that show his full amazing personality that shines in each and everyone of his pups that he's produced. As I get updates from past families that have one of his pups I am blown away at how apparent it is that all his love bug personality traits have very much surfaced full force in all his babies. I am proud beyond belief to have Tonka fur babies to pass along to more very lucky families this spring.

Neema (on the left) and Anya in the 2 shots on the right are happy, hoppy, loving life and also basking in the incoming spring energy. We are down to less than 3 wks. to go until we welcome Isla's new little bundles into this world. 'HAY' babies! "Heeeeyyy!" Welcome to the world! and then 10 short days beyond that Leia will add to the pile. The countdown is definitely on everyone!

Head out and enjoy this beautiful spring day. Itch and scratch the energy of what's ahead deep into your heart and soul. Let the earth steady your feet as your excitement blossoms and takes off for the new life blooming and waiting just around the corner.
