Lauri-O: June 2015

A lifetime of loyal and loving companionship just begun, just today. Scoops, Liam, Luna, and Sis leave us for new lives, new families, and new adventures.

About to be . . . smooched by his pooch.

Puppy Liam looks at ease, and right smart beside the sleek Porsche 918 Spyder. Liam’s new owner sells them and taught me that this is the fastest car In-the-World. He would be a fabulous mascot for this sophisticated dealership, but was destined for a much higher mission. He was heading to be the surprise and delight of her kiddos. Wish I could have a picture of that meeting. Since we didn’t have a mere million to drop for this S’marvelous machine, we left with the happy knowledge of a happy puppy with his happy new family. And that’s worth a million.

Everything is growing like gangbusters around here; Puppies, Bunnies, Bluebirds, and three really cute gals I know.

This is Pete – better known around here as Mr. Blue Eyes. We almost changed his name to Frank for Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra.

Snip the puppy, Avalyn the gal.

Snip is a favorite of many who come meet the pups. She stands apart from her litter-mates in her dainty, mild manner and silky fur.

The Adoring and Adorable Sis. The Exceedingly Plump Peaches

When hangin’ out is such a good thing.

This is a Sis. This is a Bunny

Mr. Bluebird is busy these days! He and the Mrs. are feeding a growing family of 5 Littles.

Our 5 baby bluebirds are just crazy-looking enough to charm the socks off us. Look carefully – right where eyebrows would be on a person, there is a single fanning feather sticking straight out and up. Ha, ha. And their huge, yellow beaks make them look a little angry and severe. Love these little critters. And we can just begin to detect a whisper of that promised Beautiful Bluebird Blue color appearing. What an inheritance! To fly through life dressed in such color, and eating all the bugs you can catch.
