Newest Member to the Ranch

Just wanted to share a few pictures of the newest member to the ranch! He is an adorable little German Shepherd cross pup. We think the other mix might be Husky, but not sure.


He is just the cutest little thing. Bandit doesn't quite know what to think of him yet, but Licorice (the cat) has already established the fact that he does NOT like this new monster thing. ;-)


Haven't come up with a name yet, but the ones floating around are Marshall and Smoky... though those might not make it to the 'final' name choosing. His little tail curls up, kind of like a pug. I'll try to get a better picture of him sometime, but for right now he's too busy exploring and playing to keep still (thus the slightly blurry pictures). :-)

The Newest Additions to the Farmyard

Meet the new additions to the ranch/home/family. 

Our dear, sweet dog, Lady, was due any day and we were all very excited....and anxious! The poor dog was HUGE and just miserable. As some of you may recall, she had one puppy last year.  The puppy died, sadly, when it was bit on the face by a rattlesnake. 
  Any how, we were rather excited about this new arrival!  The day finally came.  We knew she was going into labor and got all prepared.

Her trusty cat was there to comfort her in any way he could (these two are ridiculous!).

Then, whilst watching a movie, we heard the little 'squeals' from a puppy and ran out to the school room to check.  1 puppy!  We kept checking and soon there were 4 puppies!  When we went to bed, she had had 5, and we thought she was done.....  Not so.
(The first 4. Don't remember which order, but black came first, then a black and white... I think the black in the middle, then the B&W in the middle...)
 
When we woke up this morning, we were very surprised, and shocked, to see ELEVEN puppies.  Our dog is not very big, so where she hid all of them, I don't know.  She was utterly exhausted, poor thing!

(Lady with her puppies.. exhausted and taking a nap while two of them snooze around her face)

Now our problem is trying to make sure everyone gets enough milk!  Thank goodness for that milk cow, because rotating them is no fun....
(Everyone scrambling for food! and Momma too tired to worry right now)

Prayers please that we will find good homes for all of them!  We already have a few people who want a puppy, but we weren't counting on this many.  Guess God knows what He is doing!  Just gotta trust Him. They are adorable, though!!!

In Christ's Service,
Sarah
