Heartbeat on one puppy

Body on another puppy

We are very happy to announce that we are expecting puppies we had a ultrasound done today and it confirmed 3-5 puppies all with heartbeats! We have been trying for quite awhile to have a litter and now we have been blessed with one on the way. Mia has decided that she is not into food so we have been trying everything with no results if anyone has had this problem and has a solution we would love to hear it :) We will update as time goes on.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I can't believe that Christmas is here already with New Year's chasing right behind. Where has this year gone?? I would say it has been a busy year for us we (Linda) had alot of construction and decorating to do plus we added a new sheltie member, Noah, which as you know it takes alot more of your time with a new puppy.All in all it has been a good year a few bumps but we are learning to glide over them:) We want to wish all our Sheltie friends, our family and other friends a very Merry Christmas may you all be blessed in this up coming year. We look forward to meeting up with some of you at shows this spring. We are having snow on the ground this Christmas so Santa will be able to land his sled with no difficulty. I have posted a few new pictures of the gang enjoy.

Moving In

The dogs finally have their own area where everything is now organized and easy to find :). The crates have been set up, the monitor is on, and the dogs have settled in quickly. It was a lot of work Linda did most of it herself, while her dad did some with her and told her how to do some things but the construction, plastering, painting, laying the floor and using the nail gun was Linda hands on! She can now build her own place after this adventure. I kept going in and saying “I just thought of this” after awhile no one wanted to see me in the area as it meant more work. I have put up some before during and finished pictures so you can see what was there and what we have now. It is a pleasure to do the dogs now and they can watch tv while having a bath :D
I ended up putting the pictures in three posts because there were just soo many pictures!!
