Cuddles...

Gracie and *baby Jesus* cuddling this morning while the children put on their own play version of the Birth of Jesus.



I normally do not take pics of my kennels, but I found this adorable today. I have two litters totaling 9 puppies in one kennel. I had just added another bed as I found two pups sleeping on the newspaper. Instead of dividing up and sleeping in the two beds, they all piled on each other again in one bed. 9 puppies with Moose on top.

The Fate of Cuddles

Our family is known as being resourceful with our animals. If an animal can not be useful, it

A. Does not join our family

B. It gets eaten.

Some nice friends at church acquired a rabbit, Cuddles. Cuddles was a beautiful rabbit that grew to be quite large and never well...cuddled. This family tried and tried to tame Cuddles, but Cuddles just gave red swollen scratches. Over dinner one night Cuddles was jokingly offered to us. Paul made it clear we would love to have the rabbit, but only for one reason, and they knew that well. The family looked at their scratched up daughters and agreed our home would be wonderful! We have had Cuddles for a good six weeks and he/she has grown quite nicely. Here is a picture of Cuddles this afternoon...what do you think?

Can you say Shake n Bake?

I'm always amazed how small rabbits look when the fur comes off.

Yeah, and it was a very large rabbit! Everyone got a piece for dinner, I guess that is all that counts.

Jennifer, you are a hoot! I LOVE that you ate that rabbit. Eric thinks all cats should be crockpot-ed. He hates cats. (though I don't think he's actually eaten one.) And your pups are adorable. That is way too much cuteness in one place.
