ECLAT & DAPPER PUPPIES

Puppies are now one week old. All have more then doubled their weight and already I am seeing some good standing attempts. Eclat is so calm and gentle with her babies and I love to watch the interaction between them. Oh, who am I kidding...... I just love to watch puppies.

Lovely markings on this litter. I took 10 pictures to get one good one. Thanks to digital.

MYSTERY SOLVED

Our feathered friends are important here, so all winter long we keep them fed. This winter we have 7 birdfeeders on the go. The bluejays let us know when they are getting empty. This week they have been empty a lot. Yesterday I figured out why........

WILD TURKEYS

This photo was taken through the window so is a bit blurry......but turkeys are big so not hard to spot.
My favourite meal is turkey dinner and my kids tell me I make the best, soooooo
The rest of the winter could get costly feeding these critters.
Not to worry they will not end up in the roasting pan.

NATIONAL FLAG DAY

So, February 15th is National Flag Day in Canada. We would like to introduce our very own flag bearers. Thank you Éclat and Dapper for a job well down. Looks like we already have a theme for this litter.

FIVE LITTLE BRIGHTHOPE FLAG BEARERS

We were expecting 2 (maybe 3) so we are thrilled with this group. Four boys and one girl.

SORRY FOR NOT SHARING OUR SNOW

Received some nice snow photos of June in North Carolina. Apparently there has not been any snow for June to play in until yesterday. June lived in Michigan for awhile and like all "True Blues" she knows that snow is fun, fun, fun.

SNOW NOSE

We certainly didn't mean to hog all the snow this year. So to all our Brighthope Blues to the south of us, we will be more then happy to share the snow from now on. Just ask, please, please take some of our snow!!!
