Here’s Charles, my less than eager photo subject. He truly does not like to get his photo taken for some odd reason. But sunning on the deck this morning was the perfect opportunity for me to grab some snapshots of him. He’s truly beautiful!! 
He’s getting so big!! He’s 3.5 months old now.
He’s doing quite well on house training, and has settled in nicely with the rest of the pack.
Hope is also doing equally as well (photo below). She is just the biggest lump of love I’ve ever seen. So gentle and sweet. What a wonderful addition to our family!!!!!Â
And Henry will soon (July 3, 2008) be turning 1 year old and is also doing very well since joining our family in December 2007. Here’s Henry in a full run towards me, in a rare time when I actually remembered to take the camera outside with me! 
Nearly two weeks ago, I finally managed to get four of the dogs in for their neuter/spay surgeries. Since getting three dogs in a very short time-frame (Henry, Hope and George), I had added two to the house that needed to be altered soon that were not. I also had not altered Charlie, or my Shih Tzu Jack, up to this point; waffling with myself on whether or not to show Charlie and breed him.  I decided not to, and any unaltered animal that was old enough (George was not old enough) had surgery all on the same day! Boy, that was an experience for me getting them all to and from the vet; but everyone did fine. I had annual check-ups and vaccinations done and Charlie and Hope’s teeth also cleaned. So everyone is good to go for another year. Good news: all hearts checked out good!!
