August has been a good, full month. Bulochka’s puppies (Litter C) all went to their forever families.

Cascade, now named Everest, was the last to go. She’s the image of her mother, and such a darling!

A few days before Everest went to her new home, Brandi had a litter of four healthy puppies, three boys and a girl. They’re just over a week old now, and growing great.
Our mama dogs get some special additions to their food to make sure they’re getting all the nutrients they need to care for their babies and bounce back well after pregnancy and delivery. One of the goodies we’ve been giving them is turkey bone broth. We raised turkeys last year (on healthy, corn-free, soy-free, organic feed!). When we cook up one of our turkeys from the freezer, after making some meal portions and a pot of soup for the human members of our family, we cook down the bones to make some broth for our dogs.
Summer is birthday season for us, and on Sadie’s birthday, we enjoyed an afternoon at the lake. Bulochka and Bryshka came along and had a great time cooling off in the water and relaxing in the shade nearby.
Bryshka also came along to the county fair with us. She had a grand time meeting new people and taking in all the sights, sounds, and smells.
It’s been a great month, and we’re looking to September and the beginning of fall with joyful anticipation!
“This is the day the Lord has made;We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:24
