In some of these photos you will see Lou using the walk behind snow blower making a race track in our back yard
for the kids to run in when the snow gets so deep.  It is hard to take photos of everyone, as when the temperatures are only in the single digits,
they do not stand still very long outside.  Some of the views show our Guest House in the near left side of the photo and a few
I think you can even sort of see our pond which is of course frozen.

I have collars on the 6 puppies that I have right now.  Red collar is Bear, green collar is Whisky and purple collar is Ritzy who I am keeping to show.  

Then pink collar is Peggy Sue, Dark blue collar is Nicholas and then lighter blue collar is also a male named is "Achates Once Upon A Time" now called
Captian Sully.  He was recently bought by Peter and his family who live in Glencoe, IL.

Peggy Sue and Ritzy are out of Destiny & William.  Bear and Nicholas are out of Diana & Gus.  Whisky and "Once Upon A Time" are out of Ali & Reggie.
Nicholas is for sale.
This is Achates National Treasure.   I named him Nicolas after Nicolas Cage, who was the actor in that movie..
