After messing with pictures for the last couple of hours, and thinking this just "might" take over my life, I"m going to try something different. Below is a link to a web album which has puppy pictures in it. I just put them into an album for now of some pictures of moving cows and working dogs etc. If this works and everyone can access it ok, then I"ll create separate albums for the pups. I hope this works! If you can't access the pup pictures and would prefer them individually on my blog, just let me know :)

Just so you all know, the last 2 pictures are of the male. Everyone else has either 2 or 3 pictures each.

All of these pictures will be just "bad" until they stop rolling and tumbling a bit....wow, these are active pups!

One More Group Pic

Here's one more group picture. The male is the darker smokey blue, and the rest are girls. There is altogether:

1 Blue Merle Male

2 Red Tri Females

1 Red Merle Female

1 Black Tri Female

3 Blue Merle Females

The Puppies Have Arrived!!

After a busy night, Kya has a beautiful litter of 8 pups! 7 girls and 1 boy! I'll post individual pictures in a day or so, but for right now here's a family shot or two.

Weaning Day at the neighbors ranch

I am waiting (impatiently I might add) for Kya to whelp......not long now tho, and she is becoming a bit restless making trips into the puppy room to check out the whelping box. She seems to remember exactly what that room and box are for :o)

Life goes on tho, and yesterday and today was weaning time at our neighbor's the Boulding's Lazy B Bar Ranch. I love it any time I can ride and work cattle so it was a great day for me today! It should have been only about 1/2 a day to finish up, however the calves that were weaned yesterday were an industrious lot and they managed to create a new gate in their corral, making their way back to their mom's in record time :( So, they had to be gathered and sorted all over again. I've included some pictures from today, and hopefully next week I'll be posting pictures of puppies!! :o))

Here are the cows heading home for the winter......down the road past our place.
