The house on the prarie.

The work is very slowly going even after we've hired a new contractor.







Leo is so excited to go on a ride to the house.




Where are we going,mommy?"




He is such a baby!








Finally, the copper is installed on the dome on the roof.







The clouds here is amazing! They just look like an old oil painting that I see in a museum.

Updates from Abigail's mommy.

Hi Alex,

I'm just sending another update on Abby as she approaches 1 year old! She continues to do great and we all love her so much. It's funny because even strangers seem to instantly like her - when we have both of them out for a walk and let them play with a few other small dogs, passers by always seem to zero in on Abby and think she is so adorable. Even though she continues to be shy around new big people, she is in many ways very adventurous.




Abigail is a tiny little Coton girl who has a great personality and the elegant poise..


She is a beautiful little girl.






I love her beautiful,dark eyes.




Abigail is on the grooming table.
I used to put her in my purse and carried her. She was a living "Doll".

The Coton who loves to go on a shopping trip.




Isabelle is happy to tag along with us to do some shopping since the boys are very tired from playing.

Look at her bright,happy eyes!







Tiny Beau brings his toy to show off how he can tease everybody with it.







Leo's thinking whether or not he wants to play "teasing game" with Tiny Beau. He knows very well that he doesn't have chance to take that toy away from Tiny Beau from the experience. :(







As he already knew, he didn't win the Tiny Beau's teasing game and now, he is ready to get some nap from exhaustion.

The Menu of the day! "Pork-Chop"

There is no fuss and complication when it comes to cook something nice for my Cotons. It is a pleasure and I enjoy doing that.

I make this process very easy and simple so I don't feel burden to prepare their food. To me, it is not an extra work. I just need to avoid certain ingredients for their portion.

I usually buy extra meats and frozen vegetables (no corn,wheat and soy)and freeze them so it can be used anytime when I need for us and for them.
Most of the time, my Cotons eat almost same thing as we eat. If I make meatball pasta, I make enough of extra meatballs and the sauce for them so they can have meatballs for dinner. No pasta,though. I use generous amount of garlic and organic stewed tomato sauce with herbs over their meatball. All my Cotons loves anything that I make for them. They all sit around on the kitchen floor very patiently and watch all my actions. I can almost see through their eyes that how happy they are..





Leo says to Tiny Beau,
"Do you smell what I smell?"







Tiny Beau and Leo says;
Yeah!
Mommy's cooking delicious dinner for us!!







It is a "Pork Chop" day for our Cotons.

Heat the pan with olive oil. Cook each side for 4minutes with cover. (You get the juicy,tender meat when it was cooked with cover.

Sprinkle pinch of sea salt over the meat.








The meat is cut into small pieces.







The organic chicken broth with chopped carrots and sweet-pea was cooked in a microwave oven for 4minutes. Put the bowl in a freezer to cool it down little bit.







Transfer the meat into their bowl.







Pour the chicken broth with vegetables over the meat.







Do you see someone is waiting patiently on the floor around the island?







Tiny Beau is waiting patiently,too.







They all says;
Why it takes so long..... I am so hungry, now....

"Waiting is so exhausting!!"






Finally,

"They all are so happy!!
