Spring Time!

I LOVE Spring! I especially love the flowers in this season - my favorites are tulips and daffodils which I plant throughout the yard. I seem to have a few tulips that have already begun to bloom and my daffodils are in full bloom. Here are some pictures that I took yesterday (Easter Sunday).

Another Vet Check

So, yesterday the puppies had another vet check...this would be their 12 week (~give or take~) and included 3 shots! They did great and our vet, Dr. Sonya, said they were very healthy and looked GREAT! I knew they had gotten bigger since their last visit at 8 weeks old but was very surprised when Dr. Sonya reported that Blue was 38 lbs. (gained 15 lbs!) and Lily was 28 lbs (gained 11 lbs!)!

We are so blessed to have healthy puppies! They love to play with each other, especially in the morning after a little breakfast. Polly still does quite well with them and LOVES to play with them outside. She was running circles around them yesterday before they cleverly decided to hide under Mike's shop where Polly can't fit. So, Polly decided to run circles around the shop until they came out. What a fun time to watch them!

Lily stays with us only one more week before leaving for her new family.

More updates

Here are a couple of updated pictures of Blue and Lily. Be sure to check out below for another updated post.

Can you blame us for keeping him?!?

Can you say "Little Polly"??
SLEEPY TIME!!
Somehow Blue managed to get this work glove on his face while sleeping. It was almost like it was too bright for him and he was covering his face.
HOW FUNNY!

Slacker updates

So, as you can tell, I have been a slacker on updating the blog! I hate to pull up other people's blogs day after day and not see updates...well, guess I shouldn't get so anxious to read other people's if I can't update my own!

So, here's what's been going on.

Yes, we are keeping Blue. We still haven't decided on an official name so we still call him "Blue." He responds to it and seems to know it is his name so we may just keep it. After being called that for 12 weeks, I hate to change it but we'll see! He continues to get bigger but is definitely a snuggle bug. He loves to cuddle up when he sleeps if we are around. I am not sure how we can accommodate when he gets to 90+ lbs though.

We were finally able to sell our last little girl (Yellow) at the beginning of March. Her name is Lily. Her new parents are actually in the process of moving to Raleigh so we are keeping her for a little while longer so they can get settled.

They have a 12 week vet visit this week to get shots updated and all so I'll try to post the weight updates then. At 8 weeks, Blue was 23+ lbs. and Lily was 18 lbs.

This weekend we were able to go up to Virginia to spend time with Miriam's Mom and Dad. They only have 2 more weeks left at their training center so we decided to take advantage of them being close and having a day off. We went to Charlottesville on Saturday for lunch and toured Monticello. We were also able to join them for dinner and lunch at their cafeteria and join their "house church" with others who are going to their same region (Middle America & Caribbean and South America) on Sunday. What a fun time to meet some of their new friends and to see where they have been living for the past 6 weeks! I also was able to spend my birthday there on Sunday so it was a fun time - they even sang "Happy Birthday" to me in Spanish.

Polly was able to spend the weekend with our friends, the Peacocks. When we picked her up last night, Aedan said he had so much fun with her that he wanted her to stay longer. We are so fortunate to have friends who love us...and our dog!

The puppies spent the weekend at the grandparents (Mike's parents). They made it through with only minimal damage, so overall it was a successful weekend. They were worn out when we finally got them home last night after a weekend of playing together. We were glad to all be back together last night.

Here are a couple of pictures from the weekend. I'll try not to take so long to post next time!

On Friday, another little puppy left for her new home. Our female with the white ribbon moved to Charlotte to live with another Weim (14 years old). I am sure they will enjoy playing together.

And if you got the hint from our previous post, we are keeping our male puppy with the dark blue ribbon. We still haven't decided officially on a name but for now we are sticking with "Blue" - I'll post the official name when decided.

So, that means that our female with the yellow ribbon is still waiting on her new owners. We have had a few people who have been interested but still no home. If you know anyone that would like a sweet and smart little gray friend, please let us know! We would love for her to go to a loving home...other than ours! (2 Weims is enough for us right now!) :)

Here's a couple of pictures of "Yellow":
