Yesterday was the puppies 4 week birthday.  New puppy owners, family and friends came to celebrate and give the little guys thrir first solid food.  OMG!  Some of them could't get enough!  I didn't get as many individual pictures as I wanted due to the minor chaos caused by 9 puppies and 12 birthday guests... but it was fun!  As the next couple of days go by, I will attempt to photograph more individual puppies to show their growth.... it's truely amazing.  

3 Weeks.... everybody's eyes are open... their fur is changing... softer and fuller... they stay on the bedding part of the whelping box and migrate to the edges to potty... leaving the sleeping area clean almost all the time.  And they just get cuter.....  New pictures are on the Meet the New Puppies page... click and see!

OK... just got all the photos loaded.  Click on Meet the Puppies on the website.  Cheers!

Last night we had a 2 weeks birthday party.  I can't believe they are 2 weeks already... although when they start walking around and leaving deposits everywhere, I may think they have been here for months!  Violet, Bleubelle, Go Dog Go, and Veronica all have parents waiting for them and Miss Pink and Buster Brown are on hold.  I have to admit... every time someone puts a deposit down, my heart twinges just a little.  I certainly don't want to keep them all.... but saying goodbye will be hard!

There are more new pictures on the website and I will be adding to the 2 week photos through out the week.... they do not hold very still so I have been having a hard time getting shots that don't just look like phantom images!

1 week birthday photos!  Please come to the website and see everybody at one week.  The BIG news Miss Bluebelle has already met her forever family and will be going home to them in 7 weeks!  

Really cute photos... please have a look!

Day 3 in the life of these little guys.  The littlest ones have been getting some supplemental feedings to keep up with the big kids.... not enough teats... not enough energy to fight for them.
   
Lilly is settling down and not looking as if aliens just landed in her bed.  I have done a lot of laundry... clean blankets and pads are piled up ready to use again each day in the whelping box.... and I finally got a good night's sleep last night.

Today after a little yard work, I am going to get some 3 day photos to share.  They are so sweet and little.... I will try to hang on to that idea in about 7 weeks before they are old enough to leave home and all yipping and playing at my feet!

Here's a picture of the pile.  I made a new page on my website that has "head shots" of each little one... I think you can get to there from here..... ENJOY!

Remember I said that because I was pretty certain they would not be born until next week that saying that would make certain that I was wrong?  Well, I was right.... I was wrong.  April Fool's.... 9 puppies and one relieved mama!  Individual pictures coming.
