Oh such a wonderful time of year!
Every time I think that I'm busy I remind myself that this time last year I had all those little puppies running around, people in and out of my house, and poops galore. But guess what... it was BLISS!
I'm taking this break as a chance to get 'caught' up with my to-do list for the new year. Mind you, 12 days is not a lot of time when you have a lot of stuff on the go. I doubt I'll get back here for another post so I'm going to JAM in everything I can here today!

On a different note, unrelated to Christmas, I wanted to mention something because I have had a lot of people contact me over the last few weeks regarding this.
Our puppy wait list!
Yes, we have a wait list. Mind you, because we are new to this our list is not quite as long as most breeders. It's approximately 20 people-ish long (including myself, shhh don't tell Dave). But don't let this frighten you. When puppies come available often a huge chunk of those people change their minds or decide to wait until a different season of life, or have already purchased a puppy because they didn't want to wait. If you are serious, we will make sure you get a puppy. Also, please fill out the puppy application so we can get to know you a little better. I'll let you know I created the puppy application so I can get to know you because often times when we meet, the puppy questions are flying and we forget to talk about YOU! So, this is my way to ensure my puppies get the best homes. Don't be scared to tell the truth. If you are unsure about something, we can discuss it and figure it out together!

Also, stay tuned for a page that will be created on my website. I've had a lot of people ask about different pet insurances so I'll be creating a little page for that information for you guys! Most of the information has been gathered from CKC and my vet so I'm far from an expert but it might give you some guidance of which pet insurance is right for you!

We sent out 175 Christmas card this year... yeah that's a lot of stamps!! So hopefully everyone has gotten theirs and I don't spoil the surprise. Some people whom I didn't send one to wanted me to share it with everyone. So here I am!
Just to let you know, the cartoon image I did NOT design. I hired a graphic designer from Etsy way back in 2013 for my wedding programs and she is my go-to gal since! She also designed my logo, business cards and my Christmas cards but she's currently on maternity leave with no plans to come back to work (wahhh)... but she wiggled in some time to do a little side work for me (thank god!). The back portion of the card is one that I do myself, which is why it's a little less tidy and a little more "thrown together".

For those who may not have noticed, we updated our logo too! It was sad removing Audrey from the photo :( ... so I decided to keep a tennis ball in there for my memory of her!
Okay let's switch gears a little bit here!
I wanted to share some Christmas photos of Audrey's litter!!
Here's an album below!
As usual I don't have all 8 puppies but here's 6/8.
PS. if any puppy owners are reading this now, send me the Christmas picture and I'll add it later !!!

As far as the farm goes everyone is doing great!
Bobby has a new love for squash soup. He didn't share any of it. (see photos)

The kittens are growing like weeds.
If someone could please come over and TRY to get a nice photo of all 6 farm animals looking at the camera simultaneously that would be GREAT because it's basically impossible unless you have a bag of snacks and an invisible shield around you. Here's a few attempts.
I know, it's sad. A bunch of epic fail photos basically... except for the one of all their butt holes... if only they were facing the other direction. *sigh*... one of these days I'll get one.
Anyways, I think that's it folks.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Cheers!
