I haven’t mentioned our sweet Summer for a little while so please humor me for a minute while I talk about her.
Summer is fitting into our family beautifully and we are seeing so many funny, endearing sides to her personality. She’s happiest when she is snuggling with someone and she’s gotten me to the point where I can’t even write a blog post unless she’s tucked in beside me.
If you recall, this is what she looked like back when Steve first saw her photo on the web and instantly fell in love with her. (If you’re a new reader, Summer was previously owned by a breeder. After Summer had four litters of puppies, her breeder retired her and needed to find an adoptive home for her.)
We just found out last week that in the four litters she had, she produced a total of FOURTEEN puppies, with her biggest litter being five. I can’t even begin to imagine five babies in such a tiny body but Summer pulled it off.
These are two of her children; can you tell that cute runs in the family?
Summer has been in our family for six months now and we have made so many wonderful memories with her.
From that midnight moment when I first laid eyes on her. . .
. . . to the next morning when I chased her around the back deck trying to capture a picture
. . . to last week when I snapped this shot . . .
. . . and this one . . .
I have been so very grateful for all of our days of Summer.
Steve, I guess you’ll just have to ask Summer!
Ok. Just when is Summer going to post? Hmm?
It’s SUMMERTIME!! I almost emailed you the other day to tell you we needed a Summer update!! So glad to see her!!
Gayle,
Glad you enjoyed the Summer stories; I’ll have to schedule her to show up here more often! 🙂
She is so precious! Thanks for letting her check in with all of us. Hope to see more of her!
I like Summer’s long hair better than the shave. She is so cute.
Ann,
I like her hair long too but when summer comes, we may have to cut it a tad. We’ll have to see.
I came here today to ask where Summer was. And what do you know – there she is. She is so precious. You need to have Summer check in with a little more often. I just love seeing pictures of her. Thanks for sharing.
Beverly,
Well, that was good timing, wasn’t it? You were thinking about Summer and popped up!
What a cutie-pie! I like her new hair style!
Holly,
I really love her hair; it is such a beautiful color.
She is such a sweet dog!
Kristi,
Sweet is the best word to describe her.
Lve the pictures. She is so cute!
Diane,
Thanks–she specializes in cute!
The next to last picture reminds me of Snowy. I’m so glad you have that sweet Summer to fill these winter days.
Lisa,
You’re right–that picture does look like Snowy. I feel so blessed to have another furry friend in our lives.
interesting how she sorta changed colors to sorta resemble Snowy,
I love the sleeping photos. I so miss snuggling with my Lil Lucy, so I now hug a stuffed hippo, and my arms aren’t empty.
Mrs. Pam,
You’re right. It’s the snuggling that makes having a dog all the more wonderful and I’m so sorry you don’t have have Lil Lucy to do that with any more. I’m glad that you at least have a stuffed hippo to keep your arms full! 🙂
She is such a little cutie!
Shawn,
She sure is! 🙂
Oh, Thank you! I was just thinking the other day that we had not heard much of Summer. I would love to hear more about her and some of her funny moments. Please, as far as I am concerned, don’t hesitate to have many more Summer days here on the blog. I still miss Mister Snowy and it helps to see Summer – because she is the cutest little doggie. How did that tiny thing have five babies?!!!
Mary,
I do have some funny Summer stories to share; will have to do that soon.
