Close.. But no puppies yet!

Barefoot & Pregnant..

Here is our baby Ashlie.. I took this just last weekend.. She is the biggest she has ever been! I really feel for her. My two year old doesn't understand that she is pregnant and really tries to get her to play. Although she is extremely patient with him, I find her more under foot than normal, I think trying to hide from him..

She doesn't pose well for pictures.. She would rather be in my lap. So I had to zoom without her noticing, and since it was taken with my itouch it is poor quality.. But you can see how big her belly is!

Ash got her name because her favorite place to hang out since the day we brought her home is by the wood stove.

Another poor quality, but you can really see her size! Her head looks tiny cuz her belly is so big!

This was the day she got her maternity cut..
Getting ready for the puppies!

I am expecting them Wednesday or Thursday, however, her official due date is Tomorrow!!

MORE UPDATES!!

BAXTER, fka FREDD-E
"Hello!
Baxter (Freddie) just turned one year old! We have enjoyed him so much over this past year!! He is such an important part of our family. Our children remind us that he is their brother! Ha ha! Baxter thinks he is a little kid. He loves to be held like a baby, snuggle and play with kids.

He is good-natured and so smart! We bought a bark collar to teach him not to bark. He has worn it a few times. However, all we usually have to do is ask, "Do you want your collar on?" and he stops barking and runs! So funny!!

We really love our puppy! He is wonderful! We can't thank you enough for bringing such a wonderful little dog into the world!"

BAXTER's Family

It makes me so happy to see him so loved! I wish I could take the credit for him being perfect for you, but it is all Ashlie! Well, I guess the sire has something to do with it too.. It was so much fun for us to be a part of your Christmas surprise! It was awesome! Thanks for the update! I love to hear from you and see your pictures!

Oliver, FKA RICCO


"..Oliver is doing wonderful - I could not remember his exact birth date, but I am thinking he will turn two tomorrow (or close to the 11th). He has been a great addition to the family - our three year old Cooper is always entertained playing with him. One of his favorite treats in the WORLD is a piece of APPLE. It is hilarious - we avoid feeding him human food.....but when it comes to an apple he will not give up until we share. He can be at the other end of the house....and if he hears the slicing of an apple on the counter top he will come running. Just now I sliced up an apple for a little snack - he was fast asleep in his bed, but as soon as he heard the knife cutting he came running in to have a taste. He loves to play soccer in the back yard with the boys - and is always part of the action around the house. He is a good dog - very obedient and low maintenance. We love his markings and just got him a hair cut....it had been a few months since we had taken him in. Attached is a before and after. I hope all is well for you guys - any puppies for Ashley this winter???? We love Oliver - he is an absolute joy for our boys and is always happy to see us all. Thanks for checking in - I hope you are doing well. "

Thank YOU Oliver's Family! He is a cutie! I love the scruffy ears!! They almost look like pig-tails.. And hey, at least it is apples, a healthy snack right?? :)

The Clock is TICKING!!

Its almost time!! Ashlie should have her babies this week. I will post her chubby pictures tomorrow.. She is so big! I am so excited to see what she has! Stay tuned!!

Update on Bella & Oliver.. fka Paisley & Koda

Bella and Oliver went to the same home! They keep each other company while their family is at work.

They are definitely spoiled and really loved by their family. Bella likes to play and play outside where Oliver likes to be in and cuddle.. (unless I mixed them up? and its the other way around?)

Bella looks SO much like her mama..
They both enjoy taking turns at being their mommy and daddy's side kick..

How could you not love those faces? What good babies.. :) Thanks for sharing the pics Andria! I love them..
