We got home pretty late from my bingo birthday party to find this…….. 

Poor Soleil could not get away from them 🙂

Every night before I go to bed I count all the pups and make sure everyone looks good. I woke up the other morning to let Soleil out to potty and I did my usual puppy count before I made my coffee.

Shit I only see 4 puppies!! Aware that I am still half asleep I recount. and recount. Jeez there are only 5 pups in the litter not that hard to glance and see 5 pups.

After a couple of recounts there are still only 4 pups in the whelping box!! Now Francine is in on the counting and puppy search!!! After a quick glance in the laundry room and no sign of puppy number 5 I fly out side with icky visions of frozen puppy in the yard from being out all night. No puppy in the yard. Frantic I go back to the whelping box and Francine yells "I found it"!!!!

With relief I tell Soleil she sucks as a Lassie because she did not show us where Timmy was and Timmy would have surely drowned in the well!!! 

It was Bristol!!! She traveled from the whelping box to the laundry room and wedged herself between a crate and the door. I am not sure how long she was there but she was toasty warm when I found her.

I was too freaked out to take photos at the time of the incident but here are some reenactment photos.

No puppies were hurt in the taking of the reenactment photos 🙂

This reminded me of us over 20 years ago when we would hurry and finish our work and go find new adventures to jump into……

Here is our new one…..

Christmas in June ….

Since I had a really hard time getting photos that did our new fishies justice here are a few nice photos of some of the fish we got. I was thinking that we needed fish 🙂 I was just thinking that we could get a 10 gallon tank to put in our office. Well after I was was informed that if we got a 10 gallon tank we could only get 10 fish!!! WTF!!!

We opted for a 26 gallon tank 🙂

Lyre Tail Molly

I had to get a couple of these 🙂

Yoyo Loach

Kuli Loach

Neon Tetra

Swordtail

Baloon Belly Molly

Koi Angel Fish

BumbleBee Fish

Upsidedown Catfish

The tank is STUNNING and it sits right between our computers in the office. We love the sound and the fish are so wonderful to watch.

Funna funna funna!!!!
