Alyssa has named the puppies Willoughby for the smaller puppy aka "big boy" and Wickham for the now larger puppy aka "little boy". The little girl is Lydia. They are all characters from Jane Austen novels, ones that weren't very wise or very nice.

I shaved their ears at the beginning of the week and they are starting to stand up even more now, especially Willoughby's and Lydias.

Ken is still looking for a job. Sure hope he finds one soon. It is not fun to be laid off. He's been off three weeks tomorrow.

Stella is going to cut my hair tomorrow. Have never had her do this...kind of scary, but we need to save money and my hair needs cutting so badly!

The yorkie puppies are getting big and really starting to move around with more coordination now. They are 4 weeks old. They got their first taste of dog food soup today and they LOVED it!

On the home front. Ken was laid off from his job last week, so if you hear of any openings please let us know.
