Running on high speed!

Good Lord but these girls had energy to burn!

Even Brandy was taking to the wild side!

Of course, Bella was way out front!

I do so love her spirit, but it exhausts me too somedays~

The girls were running around in the long grass again, on the way back to the car...

Man they were just full of it!!

So, better to be safe than sorry, I leashed them long before we got near the road! Funny how fast a leash will slow them down...

Group Photos...

Yeah... right! Just try to get three dogs to all look my direction, at the same time, when out at a place like this... Not going to happen! But, at least they were all up on the stone at the same time... lol

Now this is my Bella!!

She and Amber were enjoying the view from a little higher angle for a while...

Then they saw a sandpiper and we off chasing!

The "prize" Bella brought me back... (actually, she had it clamped in her teeth and was not giving it up for the world... lol) Yuck!

How they love to play~

You can usually tell Brandy, cuz she stays on the path more, while the others frolic in the bushes, grass and weeds - trying to get burrs and ticks... (kidding, but they do catch them, on ocvcassion)

Face into the wind, to enjoy all those "fun" scents, from farmer's fields... (yuck!)

Amber saw a duck out on the pond...

Can YOU see it? It is a tiny speck, way on the other side, to the right a bit... I used the telephoto lens to look at what they were engrossed in... that's how I know...

Interesting to find things that actually cause them to stay still for so long outdoors...

Getting our minds off things...

I decided that if the girls were feeling half as bad as I did, we all needed to go for a good walk. They enjoy that so much that I just can't stay sad...

So, I took them in to the rock quarry...

They don't really care where I take them, as long as they get a chance to run around and see new spaces...

Tough to tell Bella and Brandy apart again (for you that is) I'll bet...

Bella is "usually" the one who is "out front" or posing... the "all about ME girl!" Although their hair is short now, she still has darker hair on her back than Brandy (who is pretty white in comparison - funny since she started so brown, as a puppy)

Last little play with Momma

We took the puppy out for one last play and piddle...

When Aaron picked Daisy up and got this reaction... all was right in my world~

She just snuggled in as if she belonged there!

He looked pretty pleased about it too - what do you think??

When we went inside, she went in to her crate for a rest, while they loaded up the car and got everything ready... I made the mistake of peeking in at her... and then I was toast! I'm gonna miss all those melt your heart puppy eyes!
I felt so guilty for crying, on such a happy occassion - They were bringing home a long awaited bundle of love and I know they will love her dearly and take great care of her!
I sure hope all my puppy purchasers know these tears just come from my love for the little ones~ I am happy to be providing them with such sweet little pups - but I sure am going to miss them.

Departure Morning...

Yes... departure day for the last little munchkin was Friday morning... Daisy snuck into the bedroom and jumped right up on the bed with the big girls when I came in to have my shower. This is just her second time on my bed (the first was a sneaky nap... but hush... don't tell! ) lol The girls were having a great play so I went to get the camera, to film it and they stopped - go figure!

Do you think she looks like a Daisy now?? ha ha... Crazy Dazy, for sure...

The minute she thought I wasn't looking, she snuck one of the daffodil nubs into her mouth... the sneak! As soon as I said "uh-uh" she spit it out though, so she is learning!

All too soon, Barb and Aaron arrived to pick up their baby...

We pinned her hair back, so we could see her eyes better... cute, eh?

Thursday the 19th...

I was trying to see if Daisy was ready to skiup her nighttime potty break, so I put a pad in her pen and figured she would use it, if she needed to go. Well, she slept through no problem... BUT -this is what I woke up to... Ha! New toy!!

Such an innocent little face... an imp inside though. Gotta say - I LOVE Lhasas with spunk and personality - and she has it - in spades!

Speaking of personality... Bella did not look the least bit happy with me, for leaving her on the grooming table, while I took a few pictures... lol Hmmm... maybe she is not pleased that I hacked off her beautiful hair!

The other "kids" were busy having a good play on their comforter... it is usually in my car, for them to snuggle into, but needed shaking out (after all that sand) and they claimed it for outdoors... sunning on it!

The pictures just do not do justice to the playing... good thing I took a video!

Update Friday 20th of April...

Well, it is hard to believe that today is the last day... Daisy will be heading to her new home today and the house is going to feel so terribly quiet.

The pups were born 15 weeks ago! Lord they have grown so much... and we have cherished every minute (well, almost every one... lol)

Today will not be an easy one for me, so bear with me... I'll be back in a day or two to show you the girl's new hairdos and the last few pictures while Daisy was here.

After that, I will update you on the progress of the pups in their new homes... Almost all of the new owners have been sending me photos regularily and the others have promised they are on the way~

I'm really going to miss this, however, this time, I really DO mean it - this was the last litter and these three are my last dogs. Time to move on to new ventures and to make more time for my own health and home.

I'll post photos along my journey, mostly for my Mom... she lives a long way away and it is a nice way for her to keep in touch with the family... but no where near as regularily as I have been.

The litter work is not yet over - I need to keep in touch with the new owners and past owners and also make up the DVDs of photos and videos for the new owners... oh and register all the pups, keep track of when they are neutered and send out the certificates... plus I will post more videos on youtube of the pups now that I will have a bit more time.

To my faithful blog followers - THANK YOU!! for sharing this journey with me... and for your support and encouragement, in emails, comments and in person! mwah!!

Next was a stand off with Brandy - come on - chase me!!

Well, okay - maybe for a while... Daisy sure makes the girls act like little pups again - good for them all!

Notice the horses in the background? Wind must have been blowing away from them, as the dogs didn't! Mind you, telephoto lenses make things appear closer than they are...

Ah! The flying queen of the pack!!

Ha ha... couldn't resist putting this one in - my sweet Brandy looks like a real devil here! lol Believe me - she can be!!

Running the sillies off!

A nice safe place to let the dogs run - in a ball diamond... just remember to pick up any "presents" they leave behind... Not fair to the ball players, if you don't...

Daisy is sooo like her Mom - just full of energy!

They sure love to run!

I am sure that Daisy chased Amber around that ball diamond at least long enough for 10 home runs!

Then she took on Bella!! Tireless!!

The results of the hacking...

Doesn't look too bad... and the girls are sure feeling frisky now!

Guess it really takes a load off! lol

Bella has some nasty long spots still... saved her for last and was getting tired~

I actually think the baby has longer hair than any of the others now!

Yup! Pretty sure!
