MOVE OVER GLOBETROTTERS - PIPER IS ON THE COURT!!

Our boy, Arlo and his sister, Abby,
came to visit with us
and brought us a pressie-
a basketball.


This is Arlo's beautiful sissy, Abby,
in the foreground.
You know our Lillybug.

We all checked out the basketball
and just let it lie in our pen.

But then our man, Piper
and his cheerleader, Carrleigh
came along.
Has he ever got some moves!!










XOXO,
Lilly, Piper, Carrliegh, Ivy,
Arlo and Abby

MEMORIES......

Today would have been our
Granny and Pa's 
65th Wedding Anniversary,
but he was called to his eternal
home about 5 years ago.
Our Granny and our Mom 
miss him, so does Lilly.
The rest of us never knew him.

If you find us missing from your blogs,
it is because our Granny
is not well now
and we have to be with her - 
we'll sneak in and visit
when we can.

Please don't forget us.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Ivy

WE'D LIKE TO BRAG A LITTLE BIT....

 The handsome brindle lad

His human brother,
Trystian, is almost 2

is almost 3.




Carrleigh and Piper's
handsome son,
Arlo,
took

We think they are all pretty special!!

WE'RE PATIENTLY WAITING

We've had a little problem
at our house
for a couple of days.

It seems that the
old treat jar
has run a bit empty
and the tall person
who can drive
has got a bit lazy.

She put some of our
kibble in an old treat bag
and has been trying
to convince us that it's
a new type of treat!!


Do I look like I
hit the floor of the whelping box
just yesterday??
Who does she think
she is fooling?
Well, truthfully,
it has been working
rather well with Ivy,
but she's just a youngster
and very eager to please.

Mom still doesn't want
to go to town today
so she found a recipe
that a friend recommended
and made us some homemade treats.


It's smelling pretty scrumptious
at our house
but now she says
they have to cool
before we can taste them.
And then she'll give us the old tale
about how big they are so
she'll have to break them in half....

Some Moms...

Just in case your Mom would
like to try the recipe,
here it is.

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Cookies

1 cup pure pumpkin
2 eggs
3 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter
2 1/2 cups wheat flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup ground flax seed

Mix dry ingredients (flour, oats, cinnamon and flax seed) together. Stir in peanut butter. Beat eggs into pumpkin, then mix pumpkin mixture into dry mixture. Knead together into ball in bowl and roll in cellophane. Refrigerate for an hour. Roll out and cut into shapes. Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 35 minutes. Cool and enjoy.

XOXO

HAPPY NATIONAL PUPPY DAY

Ivy 05/11


Unfortunately we don't have any pictures
of Baby Carrleigh -
she was an adult
when she came
to live with us.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!

Every year Mom is happy
to see her daffodils bloom
because they are one of the
first signs of Spring -
this year they almost lost their bloom
before we got a picture of them.


The deer are out grazing,
morning and evening
and sometimes during the day.
Soon, we will see their new velvet antlers
and their little babies.


Calves are already being born
on Rocky Creek Farm.
"Carrleigh" our Charolais doesn't like us,
but if you look closely,
you can see a little calf behind her -
it is black with a white face.


Silly Lilly - what's she doing?
Roaching in the road!!


Our Japanese Fan Bush
is starting to bud
and will bloom
all Summer long.


We even have what Mom calls
"wild hyacinths"
in our pen.
We think Ruairi
must have kept them
mowed down before.
Or maybe they weren't there.


And just like every where else,
there is a handsome young fellow
looking out for a pretty lass.

But Mom has cautioned us
that it could still snow -
She says it snowed 18 inches
on April 28, 1978.
She remembers the date
because that's the year
our human brother was born.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Ivy
