ZuZu celebrates her 9th birthday today, and we wish her the happiest of days and many more to come!! . . .

Little Miss Puppins seems to be her happiest when she's a runnin' and a smilin' . . .

After Puppins passed the sniff test, ZuZu brought her a treasure to see if she would like to play keep away . . .

As they run to mommy, It's not hard to figure out the oldest to the youngest of the girls . . .

This December morning the air was still, full of moisture and frost covered the grass. Before the sun rose too high and started to melt the icy crystals would be a perfect time to let the beasts out back and play. They love the cold, and they could run with abandon and wouldn't need to have their paws wiped down when they came back in . . .

On this day, however, Paczki was giving Ginger the stare down, and those of us who have canines know what this means. Paczki's tail is at full mast, and if only Ginger would turn and lock eyes, then the fun could begin. A short time after this was captured, that's exactly what happened . . .
