We did set our alarm, because we wanted to get our work out in, have some breakfast and I intended to go see my favorite little girls do their ballet. It turned out that ballet was cancelled for the day after Thanksgiving. Bummer!!! I did get to see the girls in their cute little ballet outfits anyway.
So, after I visited with the girls, their mom, dad and grandparents for a little bit I headed home. It was time to set out for our adventure for the day. We estimated it would take us about an hour to reach our destination and I was getting hungry. We stopped and got a small cup of soup for me to hold me over and then we made our way to Washougal, WA. where the cutest puppies in the whole wide world are born.
We sent the requested text message when we got to a certain point in our route and anxiously continued to our destination. The rain was coming down pretty good and we wondered where we would visit our puppy. We pulled up to the gate and there was another car there too.
Once the gate was opened we pulled forward and approached the house. As we headed in that direction we passed the horse pasture on the left. We found a gravely place to park near the house and the dude that open the gate let us know the puppies were in the barn.
We made our way towards the barn and Judy, our breeder, greeted us with hugs and a big'ol smile. The barn had other animals in there too, but we really wanted to see those puppies. Judy pointed us in their direction. Oh my goodness!!!! They are so cute!!! She said, "Get in there with them, play with them and love on them. The barn is a fantastic place for them to play with each other and stay out of the weather".
We entered the stall which had a pin around the border. The ground was covered with hay and there was a light clamped inside the stall. The barn had lights inside, but the light in the stall provided a bit more light. The sweet smell of puppy breath mixed with the smell of hay filled the air.
We picked them up and loved on them and they snuggled right into our necks and our jackets. It was the perfect visit. We received puppy kisses, puppy nuzzles and watched as they snuggled with each other and displayed the beginning developments of their personalities.
We visited with Judy as we loved on those adorable little bundles of fur. So sweet and totally mesmerizing. I had no idea I sat on a concrete floor covered with hay for an hour and a half. The time flew by so fast, but my butt was starting to send me little messages that it had had enough. The rest of me could have sat there for months.
There were two boys and seven girls. We will take one of the boys home with us when he is 9 weeks old. The other boy will stay with Judy's son. So, as Judy said, "Both boys will stay in the family". She is just the sweetest woman. We could not have asked for a better person to be raising our boy. We are excited to have you home with us Marbles.
