Adventure at the Keyes house
















Yesterday (Sunday April 19th) was a normal day, the girls and I went to church, Cass went to work. After church (4pm) we went home and let Missy out, let her back in and went to my parents house. Cass got home at 6:15pm to find Missy in her kennel with 2 babies. Cass had no idea what to do, Missy wasn't going to be having the puppies at our house. To make a long story short, by midnight there were 5 male pups. Missy wasn't doing well with them, she is very tempermental, and she was growling at them and acting wierd. So we decided to seperate them and take the puppies to the other people that have the male bulldog (they are part owners with us, long story). Missy stayed with us, we got everything cleaned up and fell asleep watching a movie. We woke up at 3am to Tanner crying, Cass heard a funny noise in Missy's kennel, and she had a GIRL puppy. They were able to bond and Missy did well with her through the night. Missy was reunited with all her puppies this morning and is doing well with them. We just heard a little while ago that she just had another GIRL! She is still having puppies!!! What?!?!?! They were thinking she was ready to have another one. We'll see. So far 5 boys and 2 girls. Crazy! The pictures aren't very good, but at least there are a few. I hope this all sounds okay and makes sense.
Missy is an American Bulldog. I don't recommend this type of dog if you want a good family dog (I hear the short fat bulldogs are good family dogs). Now that we don't have her anymore, my kids want a Great Dane. We'll see.....

Happy 6th Birthday Alyssa


Alyssa turned 6 years old yesterday. I am so proud of her. She is doing great in school. She is starting to read, her teacher says she is definitely ready for 1st grade. Alyssa loves doing arts and crafts. She learned to ride her bike without training wheels last year. Cassidy bought her a new bike for her birthday. The one thing that she REALLY wanted was a bunny. A real bunny. So I suprised her with one. We went to the country store on Saturday and she found one she liked. I told her I'd buy it for her when I had more money. Cass got the girls in the car and I went back in the store and bought it. I had it in a box at my feet in the car. I bought a huge bag of bunny food and told her it was fertilizer for the grass when I got it in the car. I gave it to her at her party on sunday, and she was so suprised. The bunny is so good, she plays with it non stop when she gets home from school. It just hangs out with her or hops around. It is fun having her birthday close to easter. We had a bunny party, and she got her bunny. I think it was fun for her. Happy Birthday Alyssa!
