Greetings from the Shirks in the Bluegrass!
We wrapped up September with a special celebration—Jamie turned 5! 🎉 What a happy day it was, and he could hardly wait to tell everyone that he’s finally “a big 5!” Bedtime came quickly for one very tired birthday boy!
School is going wonderfully this year, and we are so thankful to the Lord for blessing us with a happy, healthy, and safe term. The girls love it so much they wish it lasted until 5 o’clock every day! And little Marlisa is thrilled to have puppy chores of her own now. She proudly marches out with Daddy to help care for her beloved “tiny puppies.”
Eli stays busy at the lumber yard, though he’s hoping to take a few days off during the slower winter season so we can work on finishing our house. With only two bedrooms and a growing family, we’re ready for more space!
Exciting News – New Additions to Our Family!
We are thrilled to announce that we’ve decided to keep both Qintara and Qunita! After their health tests came back perfect, we couldn’t resist the idea of raising them, caring for them, and loving them as part of our family. We’re excited about the possibility of nurturing and loving their tiny babies in the future!
Qunita will be fondly called by her new name Qunita Ann, and Qintara will be known as Qintara O’Molly.
Dogs Available for Loving Homes
We have two special dogs we’d like to share with our friends:
Miss Bridget – A sweet 10-lb purebred Cavalier with the biggest, soulful eyes. Raised by us from a puppy, she’s AKC and CKC registered, current on all vaccinations and deworming (including rabies), and has the most loving personality. Our desire is for Bridget to find a forever home where she will be cherished. Recent photos are posted on her profile on our website.
Bentley – A happy, carefree multigeneration Bernedoodle (from Queenie and Chip). Originally adopted by a loving family, he turned out to have just a bit too much energy for them. He’s well socialized, up to date on all vaccinations and deworming (including rabies), and has some genetic testing completed. Our children adore taking him for walks, and we’re looking for an active, adventurous home where Bentley will thrive!
Thank You
From our family to yours, thank you for your continued trust and patience. We feel so blessed to share these wonderful dogs with you, and we look forward to serving you in the future.
May you all have a safe, joyful, and blessed fall! 🍂
