Bags under our eyes.....but lots of laughing!


Fred's training is going pretty well. He is so silly! Yesterday he scampered out of the kitchen, I followed, and there he was - up on his hind legs, front paws up on the floor length mirror in our room - studying that "other puppy" in the mirror. He turned and looked at me as if to show me his new friend!! He hasn't had any "accidents" in 2 days, mostly because we take him out doors every 2-3 hours, day and night. He likes his crate quite well; it's warm and soft in there, and he easily settles back in at night after our outdoor business. He LOVES laps! In fact, as I type he is snuggled up on my lap....snoring. His playtimes are wild frenzies of craziness; then he often falls suddenly asleep. Such a puppy!

We think he is over-the-moon about being the Little Bird Farm Pup! We are! All's well. (Except my moccasin slipper shoelaces, which he has all but destroyed...my fault!!)

Fred is settling in and getting into the gardening!

He is great at carrying sticks and.....digging!


Sunday afternoons are great for meeting new people! Amber, Miles and Gavi are among Fred's first new acquaintances. They became buddies right away.





Mutual affection!

A new arrival for spring at Little Bird Farm!

INTRODUCING........FRED!


Fred is a Corgi-Boxer Cross!


He just joined us today as our new Little Bird Farm Puppy!



He is such a CUTIE!





And the day has worn him out! Do you suppose he will let anyone get any sleep tonight? ;)

Yesterday we were wrapped up in Valentines; today we are covered in SNOW!

This is the kind of snow that slowly melts and seeps into the soil; the kind that so gently feeds the daffodils and protects the swelling buds on the apricot tree. I love it!

A very special week!

PIPER! Do you want to go to The Zoo with GrubePop & Gigi??

Waiting for the ChooChoo Train.
Making faces at the gorillas!

PIPER throws herself into her HUGS!! They are extra sweet!



Piper and cousin Miles explore stuff on the kitchen counter together. Hmmmm.
Next adventure! It's off to the aquarium. Piper is game for any adventure!
Piper really loved the "touch pool". She and the hermit crab were equally surprised by one another!
And on Saturday....we ALL go to the Zoo! Piper got to show it to Mami-O and Daddy-O!


Thanks for coming kids! It was a great week!
