Meet Duke

Meet Duke! Fallon and Dean's new puppy.

Duke is now 14 weeks and 35 pounds and a sweetie. I am going to enjoy taking him on walks while I'm here for Christmas. He's going to enjoy them too I bet.

He's a very gentle Bernese Mountain Dog. Even being a puppy he's calm. He reminds me of our Sheltie- Libby who we had for 17 years. I'll post more of these pictures and my trip photos on flickr.

Our New Alpacas

Our New Alpacas ! New mama, Verona, and baby Bernina are just so cute together . On my November trip to Costa Rica, via Washington I was lucky to get to visit all the alpaca babies and moms on a bright sunny, winter day. Brrr the breeze was cold (well for me it was) so the visit was brief, but we did get to see Esters new place, in Nine Mile Falls, which is very nice. The alpacas were very friendly, its just that we have to get faster with the camera.

It was quite trip, I got to enjoy the house (not the cold weather) and see some old friends and have a nice Thanksgiving Dinner with some new Newman Lake residents. I'll post the Costa Rica pics when I get the cd soon.

Our Alpacas are still boarded in Nine Mile Falls This year we had 3 new babies, 2 girls and 1 boy. This picture was taken when the baby was just a few hours old. Its one of my favorites!
