Welcome to "All Things Brittany !"

"All things bright and beautiful, all things great and small, all things Brittany, the Lord God loves them all."
Our blog began 5 years ago while awaiting the birth of a litter of Brittany puppies. Early posts shared pregnancy confirmation, first movement of pups, whelping, development, weaning, and ongoing evaluations right up to the first day of the rest of their lives with their happy new owners. Eventually we discovered that a lot of people looked forward to the posts even when puppies were not involved. We then added more variety while keeping with the original purpose of the ATB blog, which is to provide updates about J&A's Brittanys in Acton, Maine. More photos and videos were posted in frequent, diary type journal entries. The writing became more transparent by sharing more openly about God, family, and the value of friendship. Blog posts now include personal stories, situations that challenge, thoughts about prayer, anectodes, and inspiration. Some may evoke joy and laughter while others share feelings of sadness and sorrow. ATB is "All Things Brittany" all things God, all things family, and all things friendship. All for the love of the dog, both given and received. And don't forget - the Brittany is first and foremost - a GUN DOG! Sincerely, John and Ann Short

2011 Family Christmas Music Slideshow

Christmas Is
(As sung by Regine Velasquez*)

Fireside and winter snow
Lights are on the tree
The world is all aglow again
With all the season brings
And though it comes around each year
The meaning of the season
Sometimes disappears
Oh it's good to be reminded

Christmas is for girls and boys
Trimming trees and Santa's toys
It's Mom and Dad and Gram and Grandpa, too
Christmas is a sacred birth
A chance for home and
Peace on earth
It's everything that we hold dear and true
but most of all
Christmas is the love that lives inside of me and you

Sleepy eyes are open wide and tiny hearts beat fast
To celebrate the morning
Just like every Christmas past
We gather close to family
Embracing all that's been
And all that's yet to be
Oh it's good to be reminded

Christmas is the candlelight
Jingle bells and silent night
Friends from long ago
And friends we've made anew

Christmas is a sacred birth
A chance for hope and peace on earth
It's everything that we hold dear and true
But most of all Christmas is the love that lives inside of me and you
From where it all began
One night in Bethlehem
It reaches out to all of us
Reminds us once again

Christmas is for everyone
The greatest gift of the Father's love
The star that shines on all the world
The light that leads us through

Christmas is a sacred birth
A chance for hope and peace on earth
It's everything that we hold dear and true
Oh, but most of all Christmas is love that lives inside of me and you.
