we went to visit buster brown's family yesterday and this is a picture of darby (left) with 2 of her teammates with the family's new lab rescue foster puppy, daisy..... 

oreo sleeping on the floor -- this 20 lb sheltie mix was only with us for a week but we found out how sweet he was... 

beulah looks to give madame some kisses... 

madame loves to sleep curled up near someone..this time it's ubu... 

madame wakes up to pose... 

madame trying to use her paws coyly to entice oreo to pay attention to her... 

madame convincing oreo to play with her while beulah is uninterested in the games in the background...?(i call this my "moo patchwork" picture).... 

two of my three girls looking at the camera.... 

madame playing with dakota and shadow trying to get a piece of the action.... 

madame initiating play with dakota... 

beulah sitting pretty, madame snoozing, ubu's paws making an appearance... 

here's oreo - the temporary visitor - i thought he was bigger, but he weighed in today at a whopping 21 lbs.... 

oreo full body shot - he LOVES to be held.  

oreo from above.... 

the cute pair. 

another typical perfect madame picture....she is just sooo photogenic. i take pictures of beulah but they don't do her cuteness justice so i don't post as many.... 

a dark picture of shadow hoarding some bones while having a saintly expression on her face.... 

madame trotting across the yard. 

some of the menagerie chilling on the deck steops... 

sammy's over for a visit so i'm trying here to get all SEVEN dogs in a picture together. from left - shadow, dakota, ubu, beulah, madame, sammy, oreo....i don't think they'd all fit on a couch. :) 

my attempt to get all 4 little dogs - leo is making pogo jumps trying to get to me.  

buster brown, madame, and beulah (front to back) - leo didn't make it into this picture - i was trying to get all 4 little ones together...failed. 

buster brown looking particularly sad (and fox-like) in the half hour he has left with "momma jel" before his mommies come steal him away....
