May 2013 Summary

May was an extremely busy month:

• We got a new puppy- Avalie, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
• Daisy had her puppies...11 of them!
• Our neighbour's horse had a colt the same day Daisy had puppies
• Grandma Bolack became sick, and Brian spent most of a week sitting with her, until she passed away
• Lorne and Eve came from Alberta
• Grandma's funeral

Grandma Bolack- last mothers day

Daisy had 11 puppies on May 17th

The neighbour's horse also had her colt on May 17th

New puppy, Avalie...as if I'm not busy enough!
