Caves, mountains, and puppies


Finally something to Post about :) We had our red bone litter last week the day after my birthday, although with this being her first litter and her choosing an opportune time to whelp while we were busy with company she lost all but 4 puppies. These are the"survivors", they are all fat and happy though. This litter has definitely been one of my more interesting experiences! We love them to pieces though, how could you NOT love those wrinkly hound faces!?

ALSO, My amazing husband surprised me with a trip to Chattanooga for the weekend! What a sweet man he is! We had such a good time and enjoyed picking out baby names and getting good chance to talk about what the Lord may be holding for us in the future! Nothing is better than reflection and spiritual revival of even a young marriage :) and taking those opportunities whilst we can! Enjoy!!

Awww! The puppies are SO adorable!!! Sorry for y'all that so many died. :-( It was partly our fault for keeping y'all over here, right? :-0

I love y'all's trip pictures. Looked like SO much fun, y'all went to all the good places in north Ga. (in my opinion) And the "Bolton family" pictures are the best. :-D Ha! I love the "old" Jess picture, haha! he fits right in. Oh and thanks for the milk cow picture, i sure appreciate it. ;-)
So glad you posted Kelse, we're proud of you! (not like we post, ourselves...) But we always love a Bolton post.
Love y'all,
Laney

Your puppies are very cute! wish I could have one but we have three dogs, two birds, bugs and a few fish. Also I live a little to far away to get one.
