Until next time that is!! I sent off a huge stack of envelopes - sure looked like Christmas time. It was a very good feeling to know that I sent out the receipts and thank yous in a timely manner. I hope people who know me realize I turned over a whole new tree never mind a leaf. And all without my new desk - it is still sitting waiting for the  house to be finished. It was too big to bring in here. I have three planks nailed to supports which is just big enough for the monitor and hard drive case. I use my keyboard on an open dresser drawer next to the desk.  My corner is small but it is mine! I have gotten a lot of work done in my cubbyhole. The last of the sheriff dogs have their speuters scheduled. They will all be done except for the two nursing moms by November 15th!! How cool is that! There is a rush to spay the girls as they were all in heat when they arrived!! Except the three who were pregnant. Actually one had her single pup before we arrived but of the other two; one had her pup on Vet Day - October 12th - the other was spayed in time. Everyone except the two pups were vaccinated and the pups were checked over by our wonderful vet Dr. Kye and her assistant Christine.

Today I promised to take pictures of Nala’s pups. And I did but the puppy that has a prospective home - the red female had her back turned to me. I could have woken her up but i had taken the male who looks just like Robbie out to meet his prospective family and Nala was a tad protective. Ok she was upset with me because I dared to pick up her baby!! And I really wanted to write this blog. To do that I needed the batteries from the camera to go into the mouse. The other spare is in the clock - it ran low. Dave keeps forgetting to buy batteries so I use what I have and rotate them until he does remember. Such is the pleasure of living far from amenities!! So  here is Nala and her puppies!!

A slender, petite Nala. Hard to believe she is the mom of 52 pound Robbie!!!

The babies - wide awake little and I mean little one!

The last of the digging - the backhoe will come in and remove th efront so the last of the supports can be put in. Then the cement  footings put in, the dirt/gravel backfilled and the floors put in and holy cow - our house will be ready to move back in!!

A close up of Mya2 - she is a senior sheriff dog - a beautiful follow u kind of girl wanting her own person to follow around. She has been spayed and had a tumour removed. She is most likely at least 7 possibly 8 years old. She is housebroken, well mannered and is a friendly, good natured, quiet companion.

Digging so fast everything is blurry!
