Doggie Good Time



Early Saturday morning, Carol says, "Meet my grand puppy Colby."



Colby's mom Kendall is out of town in Indiana visiting family, grandma Carol doggie sits.  



Casey is a doggie mom, sure knows how to play with a puppy.  


Colby is smart to know that Casey is a doggie lover. 




Betty is not experienced in dogs but cannot give up the chance of getting some cuteness overload.



Colby says "Where is my grandma Carol? Betty smells kitties, I don't want kitties". 




Nate can't help but joins the doggie fun.




Some doggie love, some doggie kisses.



Lisa says that Colby should take a rest from all the excitement.  A calm lap is the best for Colby.

Why are all the rabbit people gathering at Carol's house? It's June!  June show and party is about to start.  Stay tuned.
