This is a centerpiece I put together. It is my ceramic turkey platter, gourds given to me by a neighbor, a 'Thanks' carved plaque from Beall's store, a vase given as a moving away gift and 3 plant decor pieces from various places. This is the first year I will not have a turkey dinner for my family. David and Samuel will be in FL. Hannah and I will share a turkey thanksgiving meal with a group of family 'misfits' at a neighbor's home. 
And now for the story about our litter. It has been a year and 2 months since I've had any puppies born. Poor Nibbles was extremely uncomfortable and I was worried...turns out righlty so...emergency c-section last night...I had a planned c-section set up(sigh)...all in all it is a very good ending. I have Nibbles and 4 puppies. We had a twisted uterine horn and a tear...Nibbles is now spayed and we lost 3 puppies. There was NO movement in any pup when they were brought out of the horns...so we are so very fortunate to have these 4. All blues, 2 male, 2 female. 
They all look nice and healthy. No mismarks in any from the whole litter. Here are the first photos before they are even 24 hours old.
