Animal Crackers - Puppies, Christmas Carrots and some CANDY

Hello! Oh it is so wonderful to have healthy puppies. Libbie was taking her sweet time, and I was getting.... totally freaked out! But she had them and they are totally adorable! Two sweet little boys. Now I think I have mentioned that if we had a Blue Merle, like Libbie,  that Hubby was probably going to want to keep it. And just as expected. He has already claimed him and named him. LOL He of course keeps saying maybe we will keep him, but I know him... this guy is gonna be a member of our family -

Cute huh? His name "might" be.. LOL ... "Tuco" - yes, one of Hubby's favorite movies is The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, and he loves the character Tuco Rodriguez. I just hope he is a sweet boy and I really have all my fingers and toes crossed that he has blue eyes like his Momma.

Puppy two - now we have a couple of nick names we have been calling him. "Toad" and "Pudge" but the new owner can name him officially.

We might have someone that wants him... fingers crossed there too - then they will both be officially claimed.

Libbie has been her fabulous self - a wonderful MOM.  She barely leaves their presence, and when she just HAS to go outside, she barks the whole way there, goes really really fast, and then barks the entire way back. I guess that is so they know she is still there. LOL too funny.

Can't wait to take a million puppy photos and share!!

Then while getting ready to post today I realized that I never shared our traditional Christmas Day Donkey photos. It was rainy and cold so we didn't spend as much time as we like to with the donkeys, but they got like 6lbs. of carrots so they were ok.

Here my niece Cori is making sure that everyone gets a carrot... not just the ones with long necks through the fence. :0)

 Cori very quickly learned that Lacy is very greedy with the carrots and grabs them up fast... move slow Cori and watch those fingers! :0)

Kaylynn has that sweet confident reach - Love that new puppy hat with ears she got for Christmas! LOL

This was just too great of shot over the fence to not share...

 Tali was brave and ended up feeding Ted E. Bear, the standard. He is Totally obnoxious about getting carrots... or anything else you have.

 OH and just had to share this one of Little Leticia! She is too young for carrots, but it didn't mean she wasn't going to push her way to the front of the fence to get some loving! She is SO DARN CUTE!

Now I have something a bit different. This year I made up some calendars from Shutterfly

 it had been years since I had ordered anything like this, but I wanted a few for some family and friends for Christmas. Talk about FAST service!! I ordered on a Sunday night late, and Hubby brought in the box from the post office on Tuesday! Seriously FAST! And they really turned out pretty darn cute - Now I can post a large photo from the site due to their copyright stuff... but it is really cute - trust me :0)

So I have one of these that I got for one lucky ready of Animal Crackers... :0) If you need an Animal Crackers Calendar.. post here and I'll pick a winner and announce next Saturday ok? Make sure you let me know who you are if you post anonymously - 

Gotta run - Hubby and I are taking a day with some friends... IKEA for the girls, and a stop at Cabela's probably for the boys - and a late lunch for all of us!

HUGS and
