Mornings With Moula

Most days and nights you can pretty much know what to expect. Especially around dinner times and snuggle times and morning chews. But when it comes to puppies, they dictate your every moment. And Dusty's muffins were no different  We all knew it was nearly time for the muffins to appear but we were not expecting it so soon. Dusty took it in stride, she was calm and collected- much more than Mum and Dad although they knew exactly what they were doing and how to do it.  It was expected of them, until it was not. And off to the doctor's they went. We had chewing bones while we waited for news. It turned out that Dusty needed a bit of help- like I needed. Everyone was so helpful with the little puppies! There are five boys and four girls. Three yellows and six black and we are so excited that they are finally here! Dusty seems to be taking it all in slowly.  Let the adventures begin. Ciao for now my friends...

After all the rain storms, we  are back in sunshine, at least for a few hours this morning. Mum gave us chewing bones. And because we had the option, we chose to rest in the shade. Mum was working hard to try to clean  the fences after years of not being able. We were happy to supervise. Or give our two cents worth of missed spots.  Ciao for now my friends...  

Dusty is quite large these days. Larger than I ever was and her mama Mia! But she is taking it all in stride. She rests quite often and Mum makes sure she gets enough exercise.  And of course, puppy food. She gets multiple small meals a day but not enough to make her too fat for her puppies. We are all very respectful of our little Stardust- who is not so little any more. We cannot wait to see what happens. Ciao for now my friends...  

Dusty seems to be enjoying these lazy days before things get very chaotic . Raven is ever on alert outside Dusty has taken  to grazing on the tender grass in between meal times. We all keep watch over her and her muffins. We know what's to come, even if she does not. And in the chaos to come -we think there will be great joy. Ciao for now my friends...  

We will take the sunshine between the rainstorms any day. Even when it should be a lot warmer. And we gladly take our chewing things otside in the sunshine with glee. Dusty likes to go beside the house and chew. I think she is trying to find a spot to nest like I once did. Or she seeks the cool shade by the front fence. Izzy keeps looking for the pool to be open.  But we are very thankful to be together. Ciao for now my friends...

The mornings are still quite chilly even though spring is in full bloom. Dusty is taking it quite a bit slower these days even though Mum makes her get outside and get a bit of exercise. I think she prefers the cool kitchen floor to rest and we can see her muffins move sometimes. But she still loves to play with toys. Especially my birthday bone. And we love to watch her play. Ciao for now my friends...
