Tomorrow is the BIG day!

Only one more sleep until Ollie comes home!

I know it’s small but here is the last update photo that I received this morning from the breeder.  She is holding the litter of puppies for the last time before they all go to live in their respective forever homes.

Ollie is on the far left.

Christine and Litter

By this time tomorrow, our family will be complete once again.

    How exciting Kaaren,

    I'm sure you are looking forward to your new challenges of aquainting Ollie with your home and family members, but what a joy he will bring to your family.

    Waiting for a family picture!

    Oh, Kaaren... how could you just choose one?
    If my hubby hadn't gotten "Winston the bark-a-lounger," I would have most certainly gotten two Bichons as I loved my Cassie so much.

    You and Mr. PQ have earned some well deserved JOy and I think Ollie is the perfect little bundle of Joy to make your life whole again. My Border Collie of 14 yrs. Hank, is hanging on one day at a time and My little chihuahua of 14 yrs. ran away in the last Thunder Storm 2 weeks ago. I will soon be down to 2 dogs. Pets bring so much love.

    Absolutely cute little guy that will fit in wonderfully well. I believe I counted 7 puppies. Did one small dog have that many pups. That's a lot!

    Such sweet news. I sure hope you'll welcome home Ollie with an introduction to the quilting world by entering the Pets on Quilts Show, hosted by Lilypad Quilting. This fun event is going on 8/1 - 8/10, so plenty of time to enter.
