Wow, Prissy broke tradition this time and didn't have any white puppies.  And she had four instead of her usual three.  But they're all healthy and doing great, so I'm not complaining. 

She has been acting so funny for two days, that I kept thinking she would be having her puppies any time and I was up and down all night watching her.  But she finally decided to "rock 'n roll" this morning about 8:30 and got done about 1:30, and all were born as the thunderstorms raged outside. 

So she and the puppies are settled in now and she's getting some rest, other than keeping her little squirmy little ones in check.  They are all nursing very well, so I've left them in the care of their mother. 

I've already gotten a solid sale on one of the males and have two others that have requested one of her puppies.  I've emailed them and am waiting for their replies.  Since one requested a white puppy, they may want to pass on the salt & pepper.  But Prissy's puppies sell very well, so I'm not worried about selling them all.

Anyway, I'm going to rest a little while myself before we go out to eat this evening, but wanted to let you all know that have been waiting for news.

In other news, little miss Sugar stays as busy as she can, getting into any and everything that she can, so she has us running after her every few minutes to take something away from her that she shouldn't have.  I must say she is definitely imaginative and industrius when it comes to mischief.  But it's so hard to get mad at her.  She has this perpetual look of  "what can I get into next?" on her face and is so openly full of fun and mischief that she is just adorable!  But honestly, it's like having a very active toddler around and the floor is littered with her toys and whatever else she can find to drag in.  I watched in horror, in the middle of last night, as she would go out under the back porch light and get bugs to bring back in the house.  She would drop them in the living room floor and play with them.  Thankfully, none of them got too far away before she either killed them or I snatched them up in a paper towel and flushed them.  Such is the life of a Schnauzer lover, lol.

Oh, and I've decided to abandon the makeover idea.  I decided the old (human) look just suited me better, lol.  Love to all and I'll be catching up with you all later today or tomorrow!

I've been sitting here staring at Prissy, willing her to go into labor and she just sits in Ice's chair and stares back at me with that big ole belly and looking like she may pop any minute.  I may very well be wrong again, but I'm thinking she's gonna have more than three puppies this time.  We'll see.......if she'll just get the show started, for pete's sake.  She's due today, but every time I remind her of that, she just grunts and settles back into her blanket. 

Or she's parked in my lap, sitting straight up to accomodate her big belly, with her front paws up in the air and her back legs kinda pushed out to the side.....I tell ya she's a sight.  But the more pregnant she gets, the more insecure she gets, so she follows me from room to room and raises a ruckus when I dare to leave the house.  Ice was home today, so he was able to keep an eye on her, but I'm thinking that I'll be taking her to the office with me tomorrow just in case.  Lordy, I hope she doesn't decide to "rock 'n roll" in the middle of the night like she did last time.  I need at least enough warning to get a cup of coffee "to go" for the trip to the kennel, ya know?  Oh well, Mother Nature doesn't seem to follow my schedule for some reason.

Anyway, I hope I can spend a little time on the stream this weekend, unless of course I'm delivering puppies then.  Sheeez! 

In the meantime, my "makeover" is going well and I've had a few changes since I last checked in, so here I am now!  Whadaya think?

Later, Gators!

Sorry I haven't been around.  We went for our little getaway and was home a day when I had to take off to the City again for meetings.  Meetings that I "thought" were next week.  Yeah, I had a major blonde moment goin on. 

But I thought that for a good excuse, I'd just tell you all that I've been undergoing a makeover.  So, how do I look?

I just rolled back in a little while ago and am too pooped to have much to say, so enjoy my new picture and I'll catch up with you all when I can.  Love to all!

I went picture crazy today with five of the dogs in the house at once, which also kept me hoppin' just to make sure all the socks were secure and remote controls were safely put away.  Peanut was not happy at the groomer's and I had to go over and help hold him for her to finish his haircut, but we finally managed and he was tickled to his freshly groomed toenails to be back home. 

Here are a few of just Peanut:

Here are a few of Sugar:

And Very Pregnant Prissy:

And I got a rare shot of Buster with little Sugar:

And one of Prissy and Peanut:

These two are gonna make some beautiful puppies, don't you think? 

Anyway, I'll be grooming Sally and LaQuinta tomorrow, so we'll finally have all the dogs trimmed and lookin good.  I know they feel better and they definitely look better!

I haven't been on the stream much the last couple of days, but I've been pretty busy with the dogs and the office.  Ice and I will be going for another mini vacation Sunday and won't be back until Tuesday, so we're trying to get everything caught up in the meantime.  Now, I'm gonna have to give up the ghost and go to bed, so I'll catch everybody tomorrow.  'Nite All!

Sugar and Buster got their haircuts today and if it weren't for Sugar's ears not being cropped, I'd mistake her for her daddy.  She is smaller, but she has all his wonderful features.  Tomorrow, Prissy and Peanut will go for their haircuts and I'll be grooming Sally and LaQuinta myself.  After Junior's haircut last night, we will have all freshly groomed pooches for a while.  Prissy is due to have her puppies on the 21st, and I think she may be having more than three this time.  She's already as big now as she was the day she had the last litter and she is already demanding a lot of attention.  She really is a pitiful little pregnant girl.  And moody!  She's growling and snarling at all the other dogs and being just an all around walking hormone, lol.  Oh well, I'll just do as I always do...spoil her a little more.  Gotta get back to the office, so here's Miss Sugar with her new haircut:

Later, Gators!
