I collect industrial fans and make windmills out of them Pat.
They are just yard art and serve no purpose other than whirligigging:)

Good looking pack. One of them is looking like 'Jaws' in the first pic. Bout to clamp down. Thats pretty funny. Hard not to smile when your around them guys, eh?
No weeds in the yard, Im impressed. Them dandy lions are in full bloom around here until it gets too hot and no rain for them, then they die off. Living around clover field they pollinate into all the yards around.

LOL, yes that puppy about to chomp down on its sibling' s tail was my favorite part. Dandelions are great eating and have many medicinal properties. Everything from the roots, to the leaves, sap, flowers and seeds all have medicinal properties. It is a good plant to get to know. |

You guys noticed that pup getting ready to chomp down on the other's tail.
They have kept me in stitches. They are rebelling against the older dogs.
They growl at them and bite their heads. The pups are now growling back at the old hands.
House dogs are 3,6 and 9 years old and all females. Control and discipline is accomplished
by grabbing the pups entire head and clamping down till they squeal. Now the pups stand back
and bark incessantly angering the adult dogs for daring to discipline them.
They are basically a pack of piranhas defoliating, attacking, destroying and eating everything
in sight. The older dogs jump up on the table when they see them coming.
Yes kk, I will miss them leaving. But it will take a while to place the ones going to show homes.
The pet quality dogs get the best and lovingest homes for the most part. Show homes must be scrutinized
and are usually repeat customers who allow co-ownership. Don't like the dogs being treated like livestock.
Sorry they left you w/out. Come hang w/these for 15 minutes and you will lose any sentimental feelings:)

AWWWWWWW! They are too cute! Can't tell from the pics, do they all have ridges? Have you ever named one Ruffles?
Good thing you have a large area for them to frolick in. When my mom's dog had nine pups many years ago, they decimated the back yard.
I'm sure you will be sad to see them go. Thanks for posting the pics, James!

These guys are a handful Bill. My wife is worn out and me half way just watching. All have ridges. All are totally healthy. It is a great litter Jean. And easy/quiet. For some reason not so bitey. I am the wrestling coach and they are easy on me. Probably the fastest litter I have ever seen. I am mowing and cleaning for the annual dog party this weekend. All that have bought pups and anyone else is invited. The 12-14 litters we have sold over the past 13 years will be separated by wearing a colored bandana for each litter so the litter mates can be ID'ed and the owners can meet each other. Sometimes over 100 people and 60 dogs show. And people from all over US and an occasional European. Come on over. You won't need a green card It is a great day and many long-term friendships are established |

Frolic, no "K." Should have checked that first. Decimated is a good one, too.

The pups daddy got taken to the reproductive vet today where a little West Highland (Terrier) was in heat.
They collected and froze his seed. The little terrier helped adjust his attitude. I was not involved!

I will miss the fun part of them.
But clean up and feeding demands and laundry will do ya in.
I just got back from the ponds and shined a big bull frog.
Got house full of guests so I let the puppies chase the frog for entertainment.
Eight of the ten will be gone by Monday. Guests from New Orleans, Colorado already here to pick up.
Two flew out by cargo this morning.
It will be too quiet when they leave.
Dog party starts at 1:00 tomorrow. List shows 75 peoples and 35 dogs.

Jim, please give my love to your bride. I cannot wait to meet her!

I have her gift here. You and Tesa be patient. I want to take real good pics of her gift. She is very appreciative of the wrapped coral cab. It matches the sphere perfectly. Tesa could wrap the 3 inch sphere so dear wife can make 'ball and chain' for dunce husband Jamesp.. You guys are a trip |
