Perils of Puppyhood

Boo has become very fond of riding around the ranch on the golf cart helping Ray with chores. She loves to feel the wind in her ears, and watch her Mommy run along to keep up. Alas, on Sunday she decided to leap from the cart while it was moving, and the back wheel ran over her right front paw. Not to worry though, she forgot all about it by Monday. She did present her wounded limb for inspection and sympathy all day and evening Sunday. Guess Ray will have to install doggy seatbelts.

Puppies on the Edge

Charlotte was in town Saturday and brought Cap'n Jack and the boxer duo Mo and Ali to the ranch for a romp. The pups were extremely interested in the pond, enjoying splashing around and getting muddy. Kit was the only true swimmer, but I predict it won't be much longer til they all are paddling around.

Our pal Sammy

Kit and Sammy the tuxedo cat were pals long before the pups arrived. Boo and Sammy are enjoying sparring with one another. The dogs and cats want to send love to Jack and Kerry who each have had mishaps in recent weeks that have landed them both in the vets office. Kerry has completely recovered from an allergic reaction to something, and Jack chewed up a plastic tag that wreaked havoc on his intestinal tract, and he is still on the mend. Kit says "you kids better be careful!"

Family get together

The spring snow has melted in South Dakota, and Cap'n Jack, Bailey and Ranger spent some time romping in the sun. Kim gets them together for tricks for treats. Looks like they have that "sit" thing down!

Lady Kit Reclines With Her Kaboodle

These two ladies are lovin their warm comfie dog bed on this cold April night. Do you think LL Bean might like this picture for their catalogue?

At Home with Daisy Doe

Daisy has quickly leash trained Moose, her big Lab brother dog. She also demonstrates her moutain goat skills on the lawn furniture. In the evening, she is tucked in with her teddie and placed on her soft, homemade bed. I think Daisy scored big being adopted by the Fitzpatricks!
