Bath Time!

"Ring!"

"Hello? Yes, they're six weeks old today and ready to pick up! You'll be here in an hour and a half? Sounds great, see you then!"

I had a customer coming to pick up his little Lab, and he still needed his shots, his first worming, and a bath! The rush began. Simon came to my rescue and dutifully gave the little darlings their first shots. After he had completed doctering the first Little One, I whisked him off to the kitchen where he was given a teaspoonful of yellow goo-wormer- and promptly plunked in the sink for his first bath! Bathing six week old puppies is great fun. Once they get a little older, it becomes quite a challenge!

Rub a dub dub, and soon we're done! With his thick baby fur rubbed dry and fuzzy, he toddled around the house, delighting Mom, Grandma, and I with his fat little tail wagging all the time, and his baby antics. :-) His new owners arrived all too quickly. But, with the way the ladies cuddled him, I'm sure he'll have a very loving home. :-)

It has been such a blessing to observe the births and growing up of God's little animal creations. His design is so perfect.

Below are a few pictures . . . enjoy!

Have a blessed Lord's Day tomorrow!

P.S. Can anyone tell we need, and want a baby around here? :-) The Lord is teaching us to wait on Him in that respect, and we are learning to say, "Thy will be done." Even though it's hard sometimes! ;-) I praise Him for the babies He HAS brought into our lives and hearts. Those human, and those who aren't.
