November Postcards

A sneak peek at the postcards being mailed out for the November swap. The fall colors have passed us here but I still wanted to share them.

Growing...

For the record, Sketch's ears were cropped before we got him. We did not choose to have them done. Things changed before we were to pick up our puppy and we were placed with a different one than originally planned. Unfortunately the cropping was already done at that point. We are overjoyed with Sketch and the breeders and are becoming pros at ear taping. I'm just getting a little tired of all the flack I get for his ears being cropped.

These are some pix over the past couple weeks when the tape is off.





Gotta love the schnoz!

Getting Big

Sketch is now 11 weeks old and growing like crazy but I can still pick him up and hold him. He also likes to crawl on your lap and snuggle. I don't think he will outgrow that- he's just going to be a 150 lb lap dog!

Meet Sketch!

He's heeeeere!!! This is Sketch, our brindle Great Dane Puppy. These pix were when he was 8 weeks old and had just come home. I have barely had a chance to do anything since he came home, but he's finally here! It's a lot like having a baby in the house again. He needs to out a lot and eats EVERYTHING in sight! It's a lot of fun though.

Smoky Mountain Puppy High

We have waited almost 6 years to get another Great Dane and we are finally ready to add one to our family! We climbed the Smoky Mountains to meet a breeder and litter of 4 week old pups. In a few weeks one of these beautiful boys will be coming home with us! I'm SO excited!!!

Good News and Bad News

I actually figured this out last year but finally got around to sketching it after a deer desecrated my garden again this year. I had no idea the deer were eating my tomato plants. I thought I was failing as a gardener and blamed it on the heat down here in the south. Oh well. I guess it's another year of having to buy tasteless tomatoes from the store. At least I can still grow my own herbs. Not all is lost.

Cat? What Cat?

Just because she can't see ME she thinks I can't see HER. She thinks this is the greatest hiding spot ever. Silly cat.
