Puppies and more

Friday I left right after breakfast to go to Shannon's house. We decided that while Madeline (the little pack-rat) was at school, we would organize and re-arrange her bedroom. Shannon was hoping to eliminate a few things (toys) that Madeline had out-grown. As we were going through the toys and organizing them, I picked-up a corner of the wall to wall area rug (it had probably been there for forty years or more) and realized that under that carpet was painted wood floors. And it looked like it was in good condition. Shannon took a look and together we decided the carpet was going out. We had to cut the carpet in small sections and move all the stuff in the room to one side, then, the other, we moved that furniture at least four or five times before we were able to get all the carpet cut and out. Then we had to sweep and mop the floor, once again moving the furniture. Finally we placed all the furniture and organized her toys placing the toys she had outgrown in the hallway to be taken to the garage until Shannon has her yard sale. However, we were to late in moving the stuff from the hallway to the garage. We heard the school bus and Madeline arrived home. She was so excited to see her room. But she wanted to know where we were going to put the little kitchen that was in the hallway. Needless to say, we found a place to put her play kitchen back in her room and all was saved.

Before leaving the area, I wanted to go by and see Ryan, Lisa, and the kids and their dog Molly's new puppies. The puppies are now five weeks old and just the cutest little yellow butterballs. Molly had six pure bred yellow lab puppies. Two girls and four boys. Next Tuesday an ad will come out in the paper looking for new homes for five of them. Matthew gets to keep one for his own. Molly is little Ryan's dog.



The second puppy from the end on the right has blue eyes.

Ryan thinks they're pretty cute!


Madeline loves them too!

Gracie is showing me how loose their skin is.


Hannah was showing me one of her favorites!

They are so cute! THey look big too. I can't believe they are keeping one. Puppies are such a pain for the first 2 years. So how long did it take you to clean Madelines room?

It took from 9am to 4pm on Maddy's room, wouldn't you say? That was HUGE ordeal. Thank you a million times for coming to help me. And, you are so right in saying Maddy is a Pack-Rat.

Oh, they are SO cute. Reminds me of Carl Baby.

They all are so adorable. Does Madeline want one?

Lori said...

They are so cute, and I agree with Nat, they look big, are they ready for homes?
Matt has a huge responsibility ahead of him, I hope he knows what he's in for, puppies are so much work.
Glad you got Madeline's room clean, you should have taken a picture. And I wonder where she gets the pack-rat gene from??? Surely not her mother.

Who will refinish the hardwood floor? Bob?
