Famke's Big Brother

Famke was a little bit overwhelmed by Falkor when we first brought her home. I think that her reaction was very understandable seeing that he outweighs her by about 130lbs! Falkor was beyond excited when Famke came home and he wanted to play soooo badly. Famke was overwhelmed by his enthusiasm but she would play if he was on the floor and she was on the couch. Well all that changed last week and now Famke has become the queen and she lays the smack down on Falkor (who loooooves it by the way!).

They wrestle and play like wild banshees. It is quite the site to see!

A Puppy and Her Boy

Famke and Jackson have become fast friends. Jackson tells anyone that will listen about "his" new puppy. He loves playing with her and she is thrilled to have a boy of her own with so much energy. They are so sweet together. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any good pics of them really snuggling because they both rarely sit still long enough for me to catch it!

I did get some cute pics of them together. :)

It's a Ruff Life

If cuddling was an event at the Olympics, Famke would be a gold medal winner for sure! She looooves to cuddle and snuggle. She will lay on her back in the crook of my arm and fall asleep while I play on the computer. It is so sweet.

And that pink belly is just too much!

Fun With My Sister

Last week we finally had some beautiful mild weather and Shannon and I took Famke and Cola to Petco for some socializing and then we let them tear around Shannon's amazing backyard. The girls were in heaven chasing and romping through the snow and wrestling together. I took about a billion pics and only a few turned out because they didn't stop moving for more than a few seconds. :)

Introducing....

I am just thrilled to introduce our newest little furbaby, Famke! She is THE sweetest little Field Spaniel that was born on November 17, 2009. She has only been with us for two weeks and we are completely head over heels in love with her. We had been thinking about adding a Field Spaniel to our family for a while now and we were SO very lucky to find out about Famke and get the chance to welcome her into our home and hearts.

I met Famke for the first time two weeks ago at Pheasant Fest in Des Moines and the second I held her in my arms I just fell in love. I was also able to meet two of her amazing co-breeders, her Momma Georgie, her Auntie Bug, her adorable littermates and two other very kind Field owners and their wonderful Field Spaniels. On Saturday night after Pheasant Fest we went to my best friend Shannon's house (she has three Field Spaniels, including Famke's sister Cola) and we had 11 Field Spaniels there!! It was a blast.

I was really amazed by how well Famke and her littermates did at Pheasant Fest. It is a HUGE trade show event that offers a wide variety of exhibits, seminars, dog training events and youth attractions. There had to be 1000's of people and the pups loved meeting tons of people and weren't much phased by the crowds and noise. It was an amazing socialization opportunity!

Here are some pics of our very first meeting.
