Breaking News....

Remember my niece's little lambykins from this post? Here is a picture of Olivia with her twins that were born a little over a week ago. Look how they have grown!

Olivia is a real cookie hound! In this picture she has just knocked over one of those big containers of animal crackers that you can buy at a wholesale club.
Olivia loves them! That's actually what I give Emma, Tara and Cooper as treats instead of doggie treats. They love 'em, too. If you look closely at that picture, you can see Mellie in the "momma and baby" pen with the heat lamp. You know what that means, right?

Mellie is a new momma! Here she is with her new little boy!

Well, he's not really little. He's a big, black boy, and momma and baby are doing fine. He is so big that none of the baby coats I made fit him. I had to make some bigger ones! (Poor Mellie...ugh!) No names yet for any of the new additions, but I'm just as proud as an Auntie can be!

In other news...Tara went from this fluffy-with-perpetually-bad-hair-days puppy...

...to this sleek, svelte little beauty!

Well, maybe sleek and svelte don't accurately describe her. Especially since I did her haircut myself with a pair of scissors, but she really doesn't like the sound of clippers, so scissors are less traumatic for her. Oh well...she thinks she's pretty, and she will be a lot cooler, and that's all that matters!

Spring has Sprung!

After a long, cold, long, snowy, long, long, long winter, Spring has finally come to New Jersey! How do I know? Look that the stork dropped off at my niece's house:
The mom is Olivia, a Baby Doll Sheep, and she has twins! A boy and a girl! Here is a closeup of the yet-to-be-named little girl:
Oh, that face! I need a sheep!

Another sign that Spring is here---Robins, and lots of 'em! Emma found a Robin in the backyard, and tried to, ummm, welcome him with kisses. Yeah, that's the ticket...she was trying to kiss him.
Fortunately, the "kissing" didn't do the poor Robin any permanent harm, other than being scared out of his whits, that is!

After a little rest on the outside of the fence, he was perfectly fine. Emma is still a little peeved at me for taking away her new friend, though. If you look closely at this picture, you can see a feather sticking out of the corner of her mouth.
That's all she has left of her new friend. Poor Emma.
