how WE spent the 4th of JULY..

We spent the day on the mountain hiking, catching frogs and salamanders and just enjoying the day with family and our furbabies.. Max & Magpie got to go with us.. Shelby had to stay home with her pups. It makes me feel bad to leave her behind but the puppies are still too little for this big of adventure!
Maggie is my daughters pup. She is just over a year old now and we love her to pieces!!
 We got home in time to play with the pups and feed them dinner :) here are a few candid shots of these cuties! (above) Annie attacking a leaf!
 Belle posing so sweetly for me!
 Bill was just trying to decide which toy to play with next..
Calamity watching the other puppies try to get over the rail road ties.. She was the first! naughty girl!
Rooster pretty tuckered out!
 Busted! Annie trying to escape the yard!
 Sweet Belle
 Lillie taking a breather between her playdates..
Here is Bill.. He is a playful pup for sure!
 Annie is tuckered out for a second.. just a second though!
 Here Annie is cuddling with my sunshine, then she goes in for the kisses!
 
 I love Belle's markings.. Split face's are SO cute and have so much character!
 Bills on the go again in what I like to call his Border Collie stalk.
 Calamity playing with a cup. They like to play with the oddest things!
 I love lilies mask. She is such a beautiful girl!!
 Rooster finally got to nap! Its tough being the boss of all these hooligans! I love his markings! He is such  handsome puppy!
Annie is trying to decide if she is going  to pounce or not..
Ringo is a spunky little guy! He LOVES to play with everyone and everything. He has a high drive and is extremely smart :) I didn't get hardly any pictures of him because he wouldn't hold still for me :) They all turned out blurry! I will do their 5 weeks tomorrow, I'm sorry so late, the Holiday weekend has kept us busy!
 These babies KINDA like my daughter.. Its nearly impossible to get pictures when she is around.. They can't get enough of her! She loves it though!
In the video above, watch Lillie as she climbs into the toy basket and then tips out of it!
SO stinking cute!
The best thing about border Collie markings is: none of them are identical! Even traditionally marked they are each unique and one of a kind! LOVE Bills face..
 
 
 
It got too dark to keep taking photos, but it was sure a fun day!
 
We are thankful for all the people who make our freedoms possible! We live in a great nation and are so blessed to call it home! We hope you and your family had the perfect 4th of July celebration too!

SUGAR and SPICE and EVERYTHING nice..

This is such an awesome group of puppies! They are little furry piranhas..
But SO stinking cute!
Here are just some candid's from the last two days..
It is fun to scroll back to the older posts and see how much they have changed!!
Faces you can see are: Annie, Belle & Ringo
 Belle has really started getting more playful! She has a medium drive and lot of spunk!
 She is still mellower than her litter mates.. But mellow for a border collie is like a hyper regular dog!
She is a snuggler.. such a cute face! Truly a little princess I think..
 Annie discovered the fenced off garden today.. That usually ends up being the puppies favorite escape.. once they figure out how to get in and out! Annie is a beautiful fur ball! Everyone loves her sweet white face!! 
 I love Lillie.. She has the funniest little personality..
Her favorite thing to do right now is attack my pant leg and play tug, which is just fine except when I am in shorts!
I am in love with this face! Lillie is a sweetie..
 I noticed I don't have a lot of pictures of wild Bill in the older posts.  
 He is very playful, always on the move so it is hard to take pictures of him.
 he always checks in though, comes back to get a quick snuggle before he heads out again!
 He loves watching the kids play.. and he pays attention to everything that's going on around him.
He is enjoying the toys too! Tug mostly, but I catch him pushing and chewing on the soccer ball around every once in awhile.
Ringo is such a curious pup! LOVES people.. Follows my kids around, explores.. just a cute all around happy go-lucky puppy! He is very smart - figures things out pretty quick!
Their favorite place to congregate while they 'regroup' is under the lawn chair.. They take a quick little nap before they are off again! (Annie & Bill laying on Ringo). 
Rooster is pretty independent. He is very curious and loves to wander and LOVES kids. He will try to keep up with them, and when he tires out he will just watch them.. Such a cute little man this one!
He is also pretty toy savvy! Likes to wrestle and is usually the instigator..
Calamity is a spunky little puppy. She is smart! Figures things out pretty quick. nothing really frightens her. She loves to play and seems to be well rounded. Not too hyper, nippy but pretty much perfect!
 She loves to play tug and chew on anything she can sink her teeth into!
 

So it was getting dark, and I think my Shelby was getting jealous of all the attention her pups were getting.. So she brought me her Frisbee like this! I know she just wanted to play.. but it was so funny how she picked it up I had to take a picture of my goofy girl!   
 
5 Weeks old this Thursday!!
Check back for their weekly updates!
