Smiling Puppy

Yes, puppies smile. One of the all white, Great Pyrenees, pups, will go to his new home today. This little guy has a great smile. He makes me feel good just to look at him.  His picture  and a couple other smilers are on the web site on Josie’s Puppy page.

Puppies

I know better than to become attached to my puppies. They will all be sold and go to their new homes in the next few weeks. This is the reality of raising Great Pyrenees puppies. I try very hard NOT to have a favorite puppy. That can be a challenge. There is nothing cuter that […]

It Is A Hard Thing

It is a happy day when the puppies are born.  When they die, it is a hard thing.  Several of Jessie’s puppies  died today. It is hard. “Blessed be the Name of the Lord. He gives and takes away, He gives and take away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.”

Eyes Open

Josie’s puppies, born on August 23rd, have their eyes open. They are scooting around in the clean straw and becoming more fun every day. I moved an old lawn chair into their kennel. I can sit and pet Josie and hold puppies at the same time. Happiness is a lap full of warm puppies. Life […]
