I found a Labrador site.

They have had 4 litters of puppies and have documented birth through adoption on all 4 litters.

Every picture was precious...Hours old puppies.

(((hugs)))Thanks--he'll love that one!

[TASMANIANRED]

In a tunnell would not be cool.

[GodBlessUSA]

I was thinking you were probably there. I forgot it was the night Pretty_Kitty was on line. How is Pretty_Kitty? That was fun when she joined the thread. :)

Pretty_Kitty is starting school again soon. Is she ready to go back?

[Mrs.Nooseman]

She is doing fine,busy talking with friends and yes she is ready for school to start.

They have until the 7th of September.

[HiJinx]

and sell some burka to pay off college fee

With the cost of tuition nowadays, that could take awhile...

[GodBlessUSA]

That will take a lot of Burka's to sell. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Enough to share..

[Lady Jag]

You must be thrilled!

[luvie]

Oh, how adorable that would be. What keeps you from bringing every one of them home with you!? I don't even try to look at puppy pictures. My little dog died a couple of years ago and I want another one so badly. But my hubby says we don't need the hassle right now. I'm sure he's right but dang! I miss having one around to love--or a cat, even!

[Lady Jag]

I may be a new art teacher, but I know talent when I see it. Yours is showing. I'm just saying what I see. Relax and you will easily keep up the good work.

[luvie]

AWESOME!!!!!!! See, sis, that should be enough for both of us--but.....I see that chocolate around your mouth. You snuck one early, didn't ya!

[GodBlessUSA]

My kids go back then also. Booboo is starting to talk about going back. I'm glad because she enjoys going. I'm going to be so so sad when they go back. Last year, I came home and cried a bit after putting Boo on the bus. I'm pathetic.LOL!

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.
