What does Bath Day look like??

Robin Hood was kind enough to let me take a few shots of him in the tub.

  But he is not so happy about sharing them. :-)

Here is what Robin says about bath time.

 Bath Day Starts with the hard part, getting wet.

 Then we get a nice massage and some fun hair styling!

And after we think the worst is over....

We get a big rinse.  As we get older we also sometimes get conditioner which is ok becuase it comes with another massage.

After the final rinse we get a good cuddle and another massage with a towel.

Then comes the foot massage and pedicure, mom likes it when our toes are not too sharp.

Then the yucky wormer and an ear cleaning.

Then a nice brush or comb to get out any tangles or burrs that we got into.

Then the really scary part happens a wind machine takes out all and blows out all the water.  I think this is what a tree feels like in a tornado, but mom says it is like sticking your head out when riding in the car, which I should never ever do because it isn't safe.

After I am all dry then something called a clipper is used to clean up between my toes and some other area's. 

Then comes the best part! The photo shoot and cuddle.

Off to edit all the pictures and give Robin a good cuddle.

Open House weekend has arrived!!!

Nova's band of merry pups is 5 weeks old and ready to start meeting new people!!!

In celebration we had our first dress up party.

All of the adults stayed in the house so we could get some shots without having Opal Photo Bomb the pups.

 Friar Tuck is a cute little guy, if he has something to say he will.

 Little John is our explorer, he is the first pup to check out anything new.

 Maid Marion was the first pup out of her sweater.  She is our photo hound, and all princess.

 Robin Hood, is our Thinker. And he loves to take a moment to smell the flowers.

We had several pups roll over this morning but not all the pictures turned out so well.

Here is a series of shots with Maid Marion rolling over, or taking off her sweater again. :-)

 TA DA!!! Mom look what I did!

I have to admit all of these little pups are sweet, little merry pups of Honey Ridge.

I started with over 300 pictures but narrowed it down to just over 150.  Please check them out here.

All 4 pups in this litter are still looking for homes. They will be ready to go home on September 22nd. Just a few short weeks away. 

If you are interested please send me an email at

I will get back with you right away.

We are hoping to make a trip to the DSM Ren Fair this season to see our Sam perform with the Free Company of The White Stag at the jousting stage at 2 pm, we just haven't figured out a date yet. 

Looking for a puppy in October? Spirit's Sprites will be ready to go home in mid October.

Please give your puppy a hug from us. And have a save and joyful Labor Day weekend!

Bath Day!!

With Spirit's puppies super little we stayed home today and everyone had a bath!

First all of our grown up puppies had a nice bath and haircut, then the puppies had their first bath.

Super Exciting!

 The puppies also got their first collars.  They still think they are a little bit itchy.

And we love nicknames!

This little guy's nickname is Friar Tuck

 Friar Tuck is a bit of a munchkin, he likes to play tricks on his mom.

 Little John is our tiny little little guy.

 Robin Hood is a master of disguise.  Doesn't he do a great Bunny??

 Robin Hood is a sweet little cuddle bunny.

 Maid Marion is a sweet little girl.

 Maid Marion is a thinker, and loves to cuddle.

It is super fun to watch the puppies grow, and the weather is perfect for having little trips outside to explore.

And of course I always take lots and lots of Pictures.

As of August 24th all of the puppies are still looking for there forever homes.  If you are interested please send me an email at

Labor Day weekend we will have open house if you would be interested in meeting the puppies and their parents and of course Auntie Opal.  I am hoping the weather is as wonderful as it was today!

Thank you for looking at our little puppies.

Have a great weekend.

Loretta and pups.

Spirit's Sprites have arrived!!

Thursday Evening Spirit's Puppies made their way into the big world.

 Spirit waited until late in the day to start having her puppies.

 The first little girl arrived about 6:30 at night.

 All went well and the second little girl arrived about an 90 minutes later.

 And first little boy arrived about 60 minutes after that.

 The fourth puppy a little girl arrived just after 10 pm.

This is a picture of Maid Marion who is just about 4 weeks old with her half siblings.

I have just a few more pictures of the little sprites.

This litter will be ready to go home October 18th, 2019

It takes a village, Nova's Pups are 3 weeks old!

Have you heard the proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child?"

Although it might be a little pedantic, I have to say the same is true for a puppy. 

In our little family we all take part in raising puppies.

Today we had a picnic, the puppies first outdoor exploratory mission to the garden.

Daddy Rampage let the girls handle the first mission but stood by as a emergency contact should he be needed.

 Mom provided lunch, and a good adult perspective of relaxed but vigilant parent.

 And our wild aunties, they provided the fun and entertainment. And lots and lots of kisses and encouragement.

 Spirit provides backup during dinner. Spirit is looking forward to welcoming her own litter into the world soon. Spirit and Nova have a very close bond and she is always willing to back up her bestie.

 One of our cute little guys.

 Auntie Spirit providing emotional support on the first trip to the garden.

 Another of our cute little ones enjoying the smells and sounds of the great outdoors.

 Auntie Opal playing big sis.

 This one just made me say, ahhh how cute. This little one was cuddled next to an adult, checking out the world around them.

Auntie Opal playing too cute....

The first taste of grass! How exciting!

I took lots of photos of the puppies and our adult dogs playing in the grass today.  It was fun sharing in all the firsts of going outside.  Lots of sounds, smells, tastes and new colors not to mention the bugs :-)

Please feel free to browse through the pictures.

I will pick up new collars this week and the puppies will get their first baths and spa day either this week or this weekend and then I will start color coding the pictures to each puppy.  Until then if you have questions about a specific puppy please send me the picture of the puppy and I can take a few special pictures for you.  This group of puppies has so much personality already. And they are super smart, like their mom, they have already learned how to get out of their playpen to explore the kitchen!

I think Opal, playing big sis, might have them on an accelerated learning course.

If you have questions about our little puppies please send me an email at

Thank you for following our blog, I update pictures as much as I can in-between puppy kisses!

We hope you have a fantastic week,

Loretta and Pups

Picnic In the Garden

We had a busy weekend in the country. The puppies had their first car ride and did a great job napping the whole ride.  This afternoon they made their first journey out to the garden to have a quick picnic and then nap while I had an iced coffee.

Well, lets be honest....

I tried to have an iced coffee. But ended up with lots of puppy kisses and giggles.

I am sitting down to edit the 126 shots of the puppies and our adult dogs (who really need a bath) having a great afternoon play.

All 4 puppies are still looking for their forever homes.  This week's pictures are a little off our standard line, we just had fun and I didn't try to keep them separate. I will pick up some collars this week and as soon as the pups have a bath I will take a few more shots so that we can keep the pups identified.  Of this group they are all so different in personality already.  I think they are about a week ahead of past litters and I expect they will be tasting mom's food very soon.

Thanks for looking at our puppies!
