Hi SamisMom,
I am sure that the kids are making all kinds of new friends!
The pups are awesome, just sad that Brett is not going to see them, just pic's, They are growing like weeds. The pups are pure breed German Shorthairs. The daddy dog is a National Champion in the BDC. Mommy is a up and coming Champion in the BDC.
I miss Brett, thankfully I have another son that is close by, and he has been coming over almost everyday to see the pup's.
Well thanks for the chat. Hope to visit again soon!
Good luck to your daughter! :)

Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes.....The pup's are doing so well! I am loving being a puppy Grandma! It is going to be a long time before we have a real grandchild.
The pup's are German Shorthairs. Miss my son, he did call Midweek, he got a perfect score on the written test, our biggest concern was swimming....He has no body fat...................
Best wishes to your Girl! She will Rock! Be proud mom! They are our kids and we be so proud of them!
Hugs,
Wanda

Good morning BAsMom!!
Thank you and the same to your son!! Have you heard from him yet? I'm waiting and waiting for a letter. I've sent probably nine but nothing as of yet back. I'm hoping she can call today - she called last week but I missed it!!! :o) -

I haven't received a personal letter, yet, either. :( ! But, I sure am hoping I receive a call this morning, as I am wishing/praying for all of you moms!

Hi SamisMom,
I hope you hear from her. I sent stamps with him so I will be really disappointed if I don't get a letter at all. His dad mailed him a letter yesterday, which blew me away.
No call or letter for me yet. It is killing me to tell him about the puppies!!!!!
