It's not easy to get all of the girls to stay in formation for a group portrait, but when they do, it's so precious. Ginger has learned from the others to sit quite nicely, and even put on a good smile. Here's a portrait of the pack and four smiles to help brighten your day

Sometimes we just need to take a break from the world and close our eyes and dream a little. Right Ginger?

Daisy and ZuZu pause for a moment while playing to pose among the beautiful spring colors. Colors as beautiful as their smiles and their wonderful souls.

Look at that smile . . . As Ginger nears her first birthday, she is filling out and looking like a dog for crying out loud. We've never seen a puppy so happy and loving life, every day is a celebration.

Paczki doesn't seem too thrilled on this Monday, but Ginger (in front) is ready to lead the pack in a group sing of "Monday, Monday" from the Mamas and the Papas. Really, for no reason at all, have no idea . . . at all, really.

The girls love going for rides, so on one of the very first warm days of spring Paczki and Ginger were happy to hop in and take a spin around the countryside for a bit with their heads out the window soaking it all in.
