Kate's Puppies @ One Month...

At one month old Kate's pups are already showing signs of being stocky! The only little girl is peeking out (from the right side) behind her brother with mostly White 'n' Black. She has a reddish brown spot on each cheek as if she were wearing rouge.

These pictures were taken by TnT February 2, 2008.

Howdy From Pecos!!!

I am here in Pecos, Texas! We pulled in about 11:30pm last night and before turning in I petted Katy, Rusty, Jesse and Cody. Kate and Rusty remembered me and gave me plenty of kisses, Cody and Jesse on the other hand weren't to sure who I was for a little bit. Jesse accepted me quicker than Cody, but it didn't take long for him to realize that I was okay with his mom and pop vying for my attention.

The guys said that they wanted to get up at 7:30am, so my inner clock rang at 7:20am! Our first stop was at the holding yard to feed the horses! This picture shows Tony gathering Oakley so that I can rub her forehead for the first time in 6 months! The guys are right she is more at ease and has a gentler way about her.

The next picture is Clancey as he heads toward me and the camera. Travis is in the back with Cahlibur, Belle and Oakley. We fed and then headed over to the feed store.

I met the guys friends there and got to see my first live wild hogs that were out back in the hog trailer! And I found out that the "feed store" is not just a feed store, it is a Western Clothes and accessories store as well. I found a wonderful pair of Tony Lama boots that were the perfect fit!

After meeting a couple more people, we headed to the truck stop for breakfast and met another gentleman that came by later to pick out his puppy from Kate's litter. The puppies are absolutely adorable! They are stockier than Kate and Rusty's first litter and it looks like ShyAnne is the only red in both litters unless the red boy in the first litter kept his coloring.

Update on Katy 'n' Rusty's Puppies...

Cool Slideshows!

Well...it looks like we have four girls and three boys! Everyone does have white tipped tails and no dew claws. Travis helped me get individual pictures yesterday, so these are day old pictures of our little sweethearts!!! Since we have no idea who was born first, I have listed them in alphabetical order. All seven were sleeping peacefully a few minutes ago!!!

I guess the official (quote...unquote) word is that Rusty is Red Border Collie and Queensland! And Miss Katy is Border Collie. They are not papered so we can't prove this. Both Katy and Rusty were rescued out of the oilfield and came to us at about 2 or 3 months old.

Update on Little Coal ~ Katy's Pup...

Little Coal is not so little anymore!!! In these pictures that Jamie sent via email tonight, he is growing up quickly! The picture where he is in Jamie's arms is his first night in his new home! Jaime said that it was a rough one, but from the looks of him in the rest of the pictures he has made himself right at home. Her brother went shopping and bought him a bed and all kinds of toys!!!

In the pictures with Pixie, you can see the difference in size from December to now.
Jaime title the last picture of Little Coal on the pillow: It's a dogs life! Boy does he have it rough. (I don't know if the pun was intended or not!) Jaime, thank you for sharing these pictures with us!!!
