Day 16 - Almost Tired

Day 15 - Mom, are you coming?

Day 14 - Napping with Uncle Pete

here she's saying "put down the camera and let me rest please"...

Having an Uncle Pete is great. Here's a full view:





And even more close up -
Noze and toez -

Day 13 - In Memorium

Yes, too busy today , what with breaking up with my brother's gf and same brother visiting me, lots of meaningful chat; in re: the same... This is the true rle model and Hershey seems to be channeling many of the same traits.Springre, the best pup ever.

Day 12 - Sharing with friends

Hershey shares a rawhide chew with Roadkill Blue (on Sparo's chair, no less).
I really should wash that slipcover.

Roadkill Blue was created (altered) for the Evil Child's room in one of our Haunted Theatres. I took him to class when I was teaching because I was dropping him off. The kids said "how did you get the tread marks on him?" I told them I'd smeared black paint on my tire and ran over him.

These days he's great for beating up the puppy without causing major damage to my hands, arms and legs. She loves wrassling with Roadkill Blue, and always wins.

Day 11 - She sleeps...

I know this is a really crappy shot, poorly processed, etc., but it was a really busy day and consider this just a placeholder.

Day 10 - Romping and Frolicking

Taken in late afternoon/early evening; hence the long shadow. This little darling is wearing everyone out except Bob, the kitty. She's always ready for anything.

Day 9 - Cat Wrasslin 2

But this time they took time out from the furrioucious battle to pose for the camera.

Day 8 - First Vet Visit

Hershey's first visit to Dr. Kathy, her second round of shots. She's not happy about it, she was even more unhappy with the microchip, as it's a larger needle.

We have to go back in two weeks for her Rabies shot, she's too young at the moment.

And here's a bonus, what happens when you try to nap while the puppy wants to play:


But you'll notice that the scratch over my left eye is healing nicely.

Day 7 - Cat Wrasslin

I'm really hoping she naps again soon. The problem now is that when she naps, I nap too.

Seems most folks are putting money on the cat. Well, that's wise I suppose, but most matches end up in a forfeit when BobbyKitty gets tired of the whole game and runs up a tree.

Day 6 - Hershey's Big Adventure

Hershey and Sparo are off on a grand adventure:

They are turning into good buddies.

Balls are fun.

In answer to a question about raw feeding: Hershey's main diet is run of the mill puppy chow, we pass out bones to each, sometimes raw, sometimes cooked, so she'll have something to chew on long enough to give us a break.

She's pretty darn cute, and please excuse the burnt lawn. It's been really hot and the irrigation water was off for a couple of days and we're just catching up on the watering.

There was a cute "puppies like horse poop" shot, but then we had The Battle of the Bones. Though not evident in this pic, Sparo has the other end of this bone in her mouth as well...






And the winner is...

I cropped this one tall because, for the first time ever, Bob climbed in the back of the salvaged stereo glass front cabinet.

But obviously, the puppy is ruling things around here.

Day 3

Fierce!

Early Morning Lap Nap

The Puppy Days of Summer

Shot one is boring, a shot to show the scale of Hershey to an adult Springer, in this case, Sparo, the used dog.
