7/11

The computer had problems yesterday, otherwise you would have gotten these pictures then!
The puppies got to go outside three times on Wed. and they had fun.  They are definitely becoming more and more adventuresome the more they are out.  They now do NOT stay solely under the gazebos, and venture out into the entire side yard, causing much consternation for the old curmudgeon/breeder.  The gazebos are right next to the large cherry tree, so it isn't as if there is an open invitation to the raptors, but enough that I watch constantly.  Much better than before the gazebos though, let me tell you!!!
For the third time in the thirteen years I've lived here, there was thunder last night and the wee hours of the AM. TREMENDOUS thunder and lightening, not like the other two times.  A first.  The puppies must have needed to be desensitized!!!  My hay is lying in the fields getting wet.  Second year in a row to be ruined.  I just need to finish the fence and put cattle out there.  Forget the dang hay!!!  Put it to work not as hay!!!
You don't want to hear about hay though.  You want puppy pictures!!!  OK.  Here they come!
