THEY'RE HERE!

Well, my sweetheart Tilley Jo delivered 7 beautiful puppies on November 18th. Five girls, and 2 boys. It figures, I'm out numbered again! Anyway, the color breakdown is 1-lvr/wht/tri male, 2-lvr/wht/tri females, 1-lvr/wht male, and 3-lvr/wht females. I've gotta say, they are probably the prettiest pups I've ever seen. But then I say that with each litter. Ha Ha.

The folks were tied up with her most of the weekend! In fact, I'm pretty sure they were up all night on Saturday just awaiting the arrival. Now is when I start pouting around quite a bit. My Tilley and those pups will be getting the lions share of the attention around here for the next 8 weeks! Good grief. I've been known to go on a hunger strike now and then, but it doesn't pay off. They continue to tempt me with treats and the like until I give in. Maybe I'll lift my leg on the sofa or something. Now that's bound to get some attention! My Nittany girl tried making a little spot on the new carpet. It worked for her, but I'm not sure that's the kind of attention I'm looking for! I guess I'd better think on it some more.

I heard my Mom say she was going to post some pictures of the bunch just as soon as she gets a free minute. I overheard her and Dad talking about a bunch of company coming over for Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll get a little turkey this week.

I'll keep you posted, and stay on Mom's case about posting those pictures. In the meantime, you can always email them @ dnkspringers@comcast.net. They love talking about the babies. I hope your Thanksgiving Holiday will be as special as ours.

Isn't She Lovely

My girl Nittany. Isn't she gorgeous. We had just returned from a day at the "SPA" as our Mom refers to it. We all get haircuts, nails trimmed, and a nice relaxing bath. Yea right! Anyway, I can't say it's something we look forward to, however we do look and smell alot better. As you can see from this photo, she's all tuckered out!

Where has Summer Gone!

The General, Tilley Jo, Lady Nittany

Wow! It's November, and I just realized how long it's been since I last updated our blog! Holy Cow!

Anyway, I'm gonna do my doggone best to remember all the happenings since July. Yea right. I can tell you this. Summer was great. Spent an awful lot of time in the ole' swimmin hole. Along with that, however, came a few ear infections. That's right, I love the water. I jumped in the pool every chance I got. It kept me in shape for the girls. They just love a buff guy. Of course, my girls, Nitt and Tills love the water too, but they are a little more laid back than I am when it comes to diving in. It turned out to be a wonderful summer. Lots of sunny days just lounging in the back yard, chasing chipmunks and squirrels, taking runs down at the fields with Mom and Dad, and strutting my stuff for the ladies. Well let me tell you something, it paid off!

Yep, my girl Tilley Jo is due in about two weeks. It wasn't easy though. See Mom and Dad went on vacation in September. I heard Mom telling Dad that it would probably be best if they sent one of us to our favorite vets for the week. Well Dad wouldn't here of it, so we all three of us got to stay home, and our neighbor Lindsay took care of us. She's great! She did just what she was told. Keep me and my Tilley girl apart! Well, little did she know, I can climb the fence. It took a little doing on my part, but I overcame that small, but tall obstacle, and found my Tilley just waiting for me on the other side. I heard Lindsay give a shriek when she returned to let us in the house. Made a frantic call to the folks to let them know what had happened. Too late. The rest is history, and the little folks will be welcomed with much love as always real soon!

I'll be sending out a birth announcement including pictures just as soon as Mom gets them to me. Keep checking!

Luv,

The General
