Off to North Carolina....without Kayla : (

Well, we'll be leaving Friday afternoon to fly to North Carolina. As I said before, we can't take Kayla and don't want to board her, so she'll be staying with her original parents: Brian and Lindsey. This is only the second time we've been away from her since we got her; we left her with Brian and Lindsey for a weekend last November to celebrate Nicole's 21st birthday in Atlantic City. We'll miss her, and I'm sure she'll miss us, but at least she'll have Brian and Lindsey and her family of Chihuahuas to play with. I'm sure she'll have a blast; she might have more fun than we do! We'll be back late on Sunday, and will head straight to PA to pick her up. Three states in one day should be fun...can't wait for school on Monday!

Nothing new to report....

Well, it's been a pretty uneventful week...we haven't been back to PA to see the pups, and evidently nothing too interesting has been going on. The pups are growing up though, and if we don't see them this weekend we'll definitely be there the week after that. Nicole's grandmother is getting married in North Carolina, and we don't want to board Kayla (she's just a baby). Brian and Lindsey told us they'd be happy to watch her, so she'll have plenty of time to play with her new brothers and sisters. As far as my project is coming along, I just bought an audio recorder so Brian or Lindsey better get ready for an interview! That's about it for this week, and as far as pictures are concerned, I think I'll just be posting them on my website, so you'll have to wait to see the pups!

One month old and active!

We visited with the pups again; this time Nicole's parents came with us to check out the blue puppy, which they've already named 'Charlie.' Lindsey had told us that 'Blue' had lost his color; he's more of a sandy brown now. But he's still cute, and her parents decided they'd buy him after seeing him in person. The rest of the puppies are adorable; there's a black and tan female that could be Kayla's twin sister! If we could afford another one, I'd take her in a heartbeat! Even Kayla loved her; she gently played with all the pups, but seemed to like her the best. It amazes me how well she gets along with these little puppies. My friend Vicky had a litter of bulldogs this past summer, and Kayla wanted nothing to do with them. She seems right at home with this litter, as if she can sense that they're just like her. I hope she gets along with Charlie!

The pups are 8 days old....

Me, Nicole (my girlfriend), and Kayla visited the puppies last weekend. Tey're extremely tiny; they look like hampsters! They don't do much yet, hopefully next visit they'll be walking and have their eyes open! Our friends (Brian and Lindsey) live an hour away in Pennsylvania, so we don't get to visit them as much as we'd like to. They're away this weekend, so the next time we'll be able to see the puppies is Sunday, October 7. They'll be one month old, so we hope to see some personalities beginning to develop in the pups. Nicole's parents might come with us; they're thinking about buying the blue puppy. I don't know much about blue pups, except that they're rare and therefore expensive! I'll be sure to post some pictures of the trip next time....if not on the blog look for them on my upcoming web site!

A Little Background Information.....

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I had a few ideas about what to write about this semester, the top 2 dealing with either the O's or the Ravens. But I decided to do something hopefully somewhat original...take you through the first 3 months of a litter of puppies' lives. My friends Brian and Lindsey Haneschlager bred their Chihuahua, Emma, once before, and my girlfriend and I had the pick of the litter! We took the runt, a female, and named her Kayla. She was born July 27, 2006. She had 2 older brothers and 1 older sister. She's a great dog, and has brought a lot of happiness to our lives. On September 9, 2007, another litter of puppies arrived. This time Emma had 5 puppies, 3 male and 2 female. Over the next few months, I'll be adding pictures and new information on these new puppies, as well as a few pictures of Kayla, her mom and dad, and her oldest brother, Chopper. Stay tuned!
