Daisy's PUPPIES!!!

Daisy is finally a mama! She gave birth to 2 girls and 3 boys on Aug. 11th. Romeo is the proud father:) These AKC registered Golden Retriever puppies will be ready for new homes October 6th! They are $400 for full registration. They've been wormed every 2 weeks, checked by a veterinarian for soundness of health, and will go to their new home with their first set of shots. They will all be lightly golden in color. Mama is OFA certified for her hips. Dad's parents are OFA certified for hips(and Romeo is going through his preliminaries- it will be official when he turns 2). These dogs are excellent with children and very friendly with all people (not a good guard dog). In fact, Romeo's sole ambition in life is to make every living thing his friend! I'll keep adding pictures as these babies grow, so keep checking back!

Natalie's 4th Birthday

This was the first year for a party with school friends! We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs... made a Tinkerbell cake and invited her Frog class and a couple other neighbors that also go to Downey Coop. The kids played soccer and got wet on the waterslide!

House Fire in Woodruff

Somewhere around 11 pm, Rob and I were closing our books- about to turn out our lights for the night. We both looked up and our NW bathroom window was glowing a solid orange. Yikes! Rob called 911. I ran for the back door to see how bad it was. Rob's parents, Don and Loretta, were staying in their motor home in our backyard. Thankfully, it never got too close. The house closest to it never caught on fire. Firefighters put up a great defense once they realized there was no saving the house. Over 70 firefighters participated in this fight. The roof and 3rd floor are gone. They ended up pulling the ladder truck and pumper truck into the alley to put out the fire. Too many large trees in front. Around 2:15 the ladder truck pulled away- leaving us to settle back down and get to sleep!
