Nora and Neospirosis

We have had our little wiggly bundle of fur for four and a half weeks now. She is a sweet little puppy and has stolen our hearts. Unfortunately, bad luck has struck our house again, in terms of puppy health. … Continue reading

Taking pictures of 10 puppies, getting shots of them looking at the camera that arenā€™t blurry, and keeping track of which is whichā€¦ is no easy task! Ā Iā€™d like to thank my willing assistant, Addie, who also remembered to smile most of the time.

Hunkering Down

So happy to hear that Red River Retrievers made it safely through the horrible storms in Arkansas last night!!

Most of you probably heard the news about the terrible tornadoes that whipped through the mid-south last night. Ā Some of you have already checked on us, so we wanted to update you and let you know we are fine. Ā We spent some time in our storm shelter as a tornado on the ground seemed to be heading right toward us, but it veered to the north a few miles away. A little too close for comfort! Ā Some Arkansas communities were devastated, and though we are thankful not to have been one of them, our hearts are heavy for those who lost homes and loved ones.

We tried to get our adult dogs down in the shelter, too, but they would have none of it. No amount of dragging or wrestling was going to accomplish it. So we locked them in the bathroom instead. Ā By the time the storm passedā€¦

First Day at OSU’s eCampus

Well I have just completed my first day wading through all of the course information, syllabi, discussion boards etc, phew! I like the format of all of the classes so far, no papers (yay!) but LOTS of labs. All in all I put in about six hours today and I have many many more to put in before Friday, since I only completed some of the lab work for Chemistry today. I think tomorrow will be a big reading day, between appointments at the gym and with the Jag, oh and it’s Rob’s birthday tomorrow too!

My brain is mush, and today’s goal for this post was basically to document my first day – so that’s done and so am I… Stick a fork in me!!!

10 Puppies!

Our puppy has been born with her nine other brothers and sisters!! Big litter as per usual from Tana! Yay!!!

I know I promised pictures by morning, but Tana kept us hopping all night. She had the last one about 8 am today. We are just now rested and getting the word out. Statistics are worthless in genetics. We should have had an evenly distributed rainbow litterā€¦ But hereā€™s what we got:
>1 black male
>6 black females
>1 yellow male
>2 yellow females
