Thanks for Visiting Us...

Tom and I Just Wanted To Let You Know...We're On A Blogging Break Til Late October!
We now have TWO new little puppies Benny (ABOVE), a Hava-Shu, joined our family on June 6th...at 12 weeks of age. He is a Designer Breed, being 1/2 Havanese and 1/2 Shih Tzu.
AND... Jasper (BELOW), a Maltese, came to live with us on May 16th, as he just turned 9 months old. Both Benny and Jasper came from the same breeder in Indiana. They are occupying alot of our time and we're having alot of fun with them! But...it's like having two little kids in the house...they need alot of supervision at this young age.
