PUPPY LOVE

2011-10-02T17:58:00.000-07:00

They're not so much puppy puppies any longer, I guess the would be young adults. Peaches, the brown little girl and Wallace, the black boy, are Mr Big puppies. Peaches is a Spot puppy and Wallace is a Wanda puppy.

They each have their own family now, but have come back to stay for a while. Wallace's family is moving, Peaches' family is on vacation. As soon as they saw each other, they've been inseparable. He's going to miss Peaches when she goes home next week.

The trees are covered with frost, new dusting of snow on the ground and a cold, cold morning mist made for a beautiful morning.

HERE CHICKIE, CHICKIE,

2010-09-23T09:51:00.000-07:00

We have some new visitors. The live across the road, have gotten brave this summer and are now coming across the road to scratch and eat bugs in my grass. They fascinate the dogs and know just how close to get to the fence before the dogs can get them. All three are roosters. They tease the dogs like squirrels. Fluff their feathers, stare at the dogs and crow. They've taken up residence under the pines outside the fence.

He's a handsome little guy.

Outside Today

2010-04-09T15:15:00.000-07:00

I am having a lot of problems with my Nikon, pictures were fuzzy, couldn't get good close ups, finally called Nikon. The camera is TOAST!!!!! Please bear with me till the new camera is charged and I figure it out. Here are few pictures I took today out side. Not many close ups, the camera would just not work correctly for good close ups.

Sweet Valentines

2010-03-03T14:31:00.000-08:00

They were born on Feb 13th just before midnight. All 14 of them. Seems fitting for Valentines Day, 14 Valentines.

A few more pictures at a week old. Lois, taking her job of watching the new puppies while Mom is outside, very seriously.

Here they are at two weeks old. They are growing even though it doesn't look like it.

Little Breeze from our Black Friday travels with Grandma Birdie and Dad Mr Big. I'm going to have to get a bigger crate, they all want to ride together. It's perfect for Big and Bird, but add little Breeze and it's pretty tight. She loves to go to the Post Office with Dad

Leaving Home

2010-02-15T13:39:00.000-08:00

All but one puppy has flown the coop and have been ruling the roost in their new homes.

Elvis arrived just in time for his first snow storm.

Enjoying the white stuff with his new family. Lots of fun!

Gypsea went home to make friends with her aunt, Dust Bunny. It took a few days, but what Gypsea does when Dust bunny is sleeping she will never know about.

We're buds now, we share! Gypsea is keeping Dust Bunny thin and trim these days.

Updates

2010-01-17T09:11:00.000-08:00

The puppies are getting so big and will start leaving for their new homes soon. It's been a tough winter so they've spent their time in the house playing through the construction and remodeling. Lois is also getting a little bit of what she gave when the puppies were little.

Up and About

2009-12-28T14:52:00.001-08:00

The puppies are beginning to venture farther than the food dish. Here's a few pictures from yesterday.

Where did that cat go, she was just right here!

And one of Wanda's favorite visitors.

Merry Christmas to all ..............

And to all .......... A Good Night!

Dinner Time

2009-12-23T16:40:00.000-08:00

My Stove Top Tree may look small and in an odd place, but the oven is not hooked up yet due to more kitchen construction that won't be finished until after the new year.

The first meal from a dish is usually a pretty messy one with left overs for mom. Not with these guys. They were hungry! Then off to nap.

Puppy Update

2009-12-13T19:27:00.000-08:00

The puppies have all grown so much they fill up their bed as you can see. They've opened their eyes in the last few days. At two weeks old their biggest activity is eating. By next week they will be moving around.

Black Friday

2009-12-07T16:58:00.001-08:00

Black Friday has a different meaning here at Lymryk. Wanda had puppies ............. 10 of them. 5 boys, 5 girls. Most were black curly puppies, weren't they, Mr Big! There were also two brown puppies.

Barney's, Nordstroms, Zales, Chico's, Boscov's, Klienfield's, Cabela's, Saks, Sahalie, Dillards, Guess. All are doing well and Wanda is being a great mom..... Sleep is at a premium right now but will update with pictures as soon as I can.

Lois has decided they are pretty interesting ..... from a distance.

Watch Dick and Jane, Sally and Puff and Timmy play play play in their bigger room.

Spring Flowers

2009-05-19T06:58:00.000-07:00

I thought it was appropriate to post pictures of my Spring flowers with my Bloomin Bunch. I bought them a little early and Mother Nature has put us in the freeze zone at night for the last week. I need a few more hanging baskets. Maybe after the chance of last frost, which I hope will be very very soon. It's been a very very long cold winter.

The Bloomin Bunch is really growing. Still no eyes open, but they weigh between 4 & 5 lbs now. They are HUGE. I'll try to get individual pictures soon.

We would also like to introduce Spot's puppies. They were born quite suddenly Friday afternoon. As much to my surprise as hers (I think). Puppies are usually born in the middle of the night when it's quiet and they can keep you up all night in case your services are needed.

We have Dick, Jane, Sally, Little Mew, Puff and Teddy (the bear) ! All are quite small, not as big as Wanda's Bloomin Bunch, but they will grow!.

Wanda Duncan Puppies 2009

2009-05-13T15:48:00.000-07:00

Updated pictures from today. They are growing like weeds.

"Witch Hazel" is going to be like her mom, "Wicked Wanda".

Sweet William is quite cuddly.

Bachelor Button

And the rest of the Bloomin Bunch: Snapdragon, Coral Bell, Jack in the Pulpit, Trillium and Holly Hock

Wanda Duncan Puppies 2009

2009-05-08T10:02:00.000-07:00

Wanda had her puppies Tues night. Just a few pictures for now. They don't change much at this stage. Mom and puppies all doing well.

Tropical Twist

2009-02-09T14:53:00.000-08:00

Math not being my strong point (never could balance a checkbook) so I check, recheck and double check my math before I cut, sew and assemble. Imagine my confusion when I started to assemble Tropical Twist and decided it was a whole row short!!!!!! How could that be? I counted, recounted, got out the calculator, recounted again. Still wrong. How could I be short a whole row of blocks. I didn't realize until I hung it up today that I wasn't a row short, I added an extra row. Math will always be a challenge. This is the center with the correct number of rows. :-))) It's very pretty, love the purples, blues and greens. They work well together.

While I was blog hopping today I found a wonderful story about dedication, determination, patience and encouragement of a couple working through a very very difficult injury that could have turned sour with one dying from their injury. The story is well written and is a real story of faith and love.-----------

http://tchomestead-char.blogspot.com/2009/02/dedication-of-love.html

--------- It proves again, Mother Nature knows best. I say Mother Nature because the main characters in this love story are not humans, they are geese that mate for life. We humans could take some life lessons from our feathered friends. Please visit Char's blog and read her story, it's very heartwarming. If the link about doesn't work, her blog address is http://tchomestead-char.blogspot.com The story is titled Dedication of Love

Mr. Big's Shopping Trip

2009-01-31T09:20:00.001-08:00

I'm sure some PWD owners can relate to this. Mr. Big helped himself to the good stuff while I was unloading the car!

Twister Puppies

2008-07-15T09:45:00.001-07:00

Twister puppies are just over a week old. Twister is doing a great job taking care of them. They are all fat and happy.

Twister Puppies

2008-07-08T14:10:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Twister had her puppies. She had them during the day which was a very nice thing for her to. We have 9 puppies, 6 girls and 3 boys. I will post pictures as they grow.

Lymryk Portuguese Water Dogs

2008-07-08T13:29:00.000-07:00

I began 'blogging' at the request of a group I belong to for quilting. Rather than put all of our pictures in the group files, they requested we put them on our blog. Not having a blog, I had no idea how to do that. While learning my way around the blog, I included pictures of my dogs just to get the hang of it. It was always my intent to separate the two when I sorta learned my way around and I could manage both. It's been a few months, so I thought it was time the dogs had their own blog.

Ch. Lymryk's Sea Spot Run

2008-05-20T13:54:00.000-07:00

Spot is one of many champions produced at Lymryk Portuguese Water Dogs. We breed for sound health, temperament and structure.
