I love this season of the year for so many reasons.  There seems to be an upspoken desire in the hearts of so many people to be thinking “out of themselves” and actually looking to meet the needs or wants of other people.  Wouldn’t it be something if we lived like that all of the time!?

I love the festivities and the lights and the beauty that comes with all the decorating.  I love the anticipation of the kids and the wonder of the many stories told. I love the food….did I say I love the food?!  🙂
I love that we get to be with family….whether that means blood kin, special friends, or maybe just our furry friends….Christmas is a time to share life and make memories.

Mostly I love the reason we celebrate, and the hope and love and redemption that the story of Christmas is all about. There are so many lonely hearts at this time of year, and my prayer is that we would all take the loneliness or the hurts or the sadness that sometimes overtakes us this time of year and squeeze it out like a sponge as we see through new eyes and search for those around us to see who needs a hug, or reassurance or a kind word or a meal or……whatever the opportunity might be.  I have always found that to refill the love in my heart I just have to look outside of my own heart and finds opportunities to distribute love elswhere…..funny how that works.

I hope your Christmas is filled with opportunities to love….

Much to our surprise, our beautiful merle girl, “Zoey”, gave birth several days early to an amazing and very colorful litter of gorgeous babies yesterday.  She wasn’t actually due until next week, but she was about to explode and we knew she probably wouldn’t make her due date.  She had a perfect delivery and graced us with six…..yes, six! new babies.  This is twice her normal size litter and she did it as though it happened every day.  She is one busy little mama and they are all healthy and thriving and she is SO proud!
She had two ice white boys, and one ice white girl, a cream sable girl and an orange sable girl, and a darling little blue merle boy.  I will have pictures posted by the weekend, once they have had a chance to “settle in” and are nursing well.  These babies will be ready for new homes around the first of February.

Wow….I can’t believe December is already here. Thanksgiving is just barely over and we are suddenly bombarded with EVERYTHING Christmas! This year I actually saw Christmas things in the stores before Thanksgiving! 🙂
And believe it or not….I saw Easter Egg Candy out in a store this week! Unbelievable!

All that aside, I still love the “hustle” and “bustle” of the holidays and the hope and the joy and the peace that is the true reason for the season.

We are expecting to get a cold front here in Texas next week and we may get to have our first real fire in the fireplace. That is always a special treat and we usually have our first “Tortilla Soup” of the season to kick it off….I know, we are a little weird here in Texas to get that excited about a little cold weather, but hey, this year has been one, if not THE hottest year on record as well as the third worst drought in our history…..so we have good cause to celebrate some rain and cold weather!

We have the most adorable litter of pups right now with such a variety of colors. These little guys (literally guys….I only have boys left in the litter!)….will be ready for their new forever home around the 10th of December. These boys, as well as my two older babies, Chewy and Karina(my only female currently available), are the only ones I will have available in time for Christmas.
I do have some litters coming this month, but these new babies won’t be ready until late January to February.

There is nothing better than getting an adorable little live creature, full of spunk and vigor and ready for play and love…..especially for Christmas. It is a gift that continues on giving for a very long time. I have so many people write to tell me how much they love this breed…..I know! That is why I do what I do! 🙂
They are just so precious and so intent on loving their family…
You just can’t imagine until you have one….

I hope everyone is a lot more organized than me as Christmas approaches….In my mind and heart I am the most organized person on the planet, but it never seems to work itself out in reality! …..but I keep on trying! 🙂

If you would like to be notified when the newest, upcoming litters arrive, be sure to email me and let me know that you would like to be on my “updates” list….

Enjoy the season and find someone to love…..I know from experience that it is a difficult season for many….what a great time to give of our time and talents.

We only have two little pups still available from our Fall litters.
We still have “Chewy” who is approaching 12 weeks old, and unfortunately starting into his “uglies”, but still just as happy and fun as they come. He is such a great little boy and will make the most fabulous pet. His coat will be gorgeous in another few months and his markings are very interesting and unique.
Our beautiful girl, “Karina” is also still available and she is a beautiful black girl with just a tiny little diamond of white on her chest. I desperately need to update her pictures which I hope to do very soon. She is getting cuter by the day and she is a very sweet, mellow little girl, who just loves people.
Let me know if you have any interest in these last two cuties….they are all ready for their new forever homes.

Nessie & Jack had their litter on October 15th and she had a HUGE litter! She had six beautiful little babies and they are all doing so well. She had one blue merle female, one blue merle parti female, one black boy, two white boys, and one chocolate merle boy….what a crew! Can’t wait to get pictures up which I hope to do right after Thanksgiving. These guys will be ready to go home on or around December 10th. One of the merle girls is already spoken for, but the rest are currently available. I will be sending out updates on them as well.

We also have two, maybe three litters due in December, depending on whether the breedings took. We should have some adorable babies from these breedings, but they will not be ready until after the New Year.
