The Truman's

So Payton goes to daycare Monday through Friday, yes I am a working mom!! But I love my job and Payton LOVES the kids at daycare, so it all works out well!! She goes to a lady that does it out of her home and has done so for many years. Her cousin Rian, who is 6 weeks older than Payton goes to daycare with her!! We LOVE it!!
Typically I drop her off (of course it is like 9:30 - 10:00 am before I get there...yes this is why I love my job!) When we arrive the kids are SOOOO excited and they all squeal and say "Payton's Here" It is the most adorable thing to see a group of 2 to 4 year olds get so excited!!
The best has been lately...for the past couple of days when I go and get her, she stands at the gate in front of the door and when she sees me she squeals with joy and bounces or "dances" as I call it. It is the CUTEST thing ever!! I LOVE IT!!

I come home everyday to 4 excited dogs each day, Daisy, Punkin, Sweet Pea, and Stitch.
I know what you are thinking, 4 dogs...yep! You could say I am the WORST breeder. We started out with Punkin. He was my Christmas present 4 years ago. Six months later came Daisy....he needed a friend...At least that is what I told Tim. Well needless to say we had our first set of puppies in August. There were 3 puppies...One is with my mom, Turbo, and one is with our builder. And well Sweet Pea stayed with us.

Then came the second litter in April the next year...Sunshine is with my sister, Stitch is with us, Belle went to my boss and DJ (Deck Jumper) is with my mom....

and snip, snip NO MORE LITTERS! :-)
I told you I was a terrible breeder!! But I will tell you this, that once you have raised 2 litters of puppies...kids are a breeze!! You may laugh but Tim & I got up more with the puppies then with Payton..maybe it just prepared us for what was ahead :-)
