528443_3906759799311_1264174176_nWhen I have puppies around the house, it seems I never tire of observing their never ending antics. Each day it seems like many new things pop up and as many times as I have seen it, I still laugh as if it was the first time. Although a lot of their actions are just plain normal fun, I try to capture some of these moments and turn them into ‘teaching moments’. My world evolves into days of inadvertently seeing things through puppies eyes. Just what are they thinking? We are a team, a family and a lot of fun.

And, puppies are Heart Healthy! Although they are unarguably, a lot of work, they have a way of making their people just forget things,overlook the mess and flop down on the floor to relish the moments. The puppies certainly know how to squeeze the best out of every moment they are not eating and sleeping. What’s important anyway?  Their zest and enthusiasm for life, their love of exploring and the awe they seem to have at the smallest of things they happen to bump into, is contagious. And, we treasure them all!.

It Was a Good Christmas!

It Was a Good Christmas!

The day after Christmas can be a tough one. It’s unrealistic but it would be nice to hang on to  Dec. 24th all year round. I miss the family gatherings, Christmas music and how nice strangers are! Texans are naturally nice people but Christmas cheer is so enjoyable Texas style.

I wanted to say a big ‘THANKS’ to everyone that sent us those lovely cards featuring their Doodles, emails greetings and Facebook posts. Although I just love raising Doodles and everything that goes along with it, I feel I have been singled out for a special blessing  by meeting so many wonderful new families and friends. Keeping up with the pups as they grow up, helps me feel a part of the joy. Seeing the children grow up with their pups is an eye opener. Time is passing far too quickly! As my youngest daughter has now gone off to college ( almost finished), I see others I first met as youngsters, now adults and some even wanting their 2nd doodle already! Thanks so much for taking the time to stay in touch.

As for the New Year, have a Happy one. Enjoy your family and make new friends, look forward to new challenges and set goals, embrace changes and laugh a lot! Each day is a ‘good day to be alive’.

All the best and God bless,

The Wells family

It’s a good life!
