October 14, 2008 - Week Eight - Bittersweet

Today my puppies are eight weeks old. They want to nurse anytime I am near but I'm not so keen on that much these days.

Mommy took Sadie to the vet today. She's not sick - she's ready for her new home. Mommy wanted to make sure she was good and healthy for her new family. So, Sadie weighed in at 2 pounds and is the picture of health.

So, I want to introduce you to Sadie's new family - The Harringtons! They are awesome! I know they will take good care of her. Here's a picture of them (except their dad).

I had always hoped that one of my children would have their father's perky ears. Last night, Pete made perky ears! They've stayed perky all day!!!

At first glance this might look like a basket of dog toys. In fact, it is. I couldn't find the pups the other day and alas they were sleeping in the toy box! Cuties!

I have been remiss in my duties as a mother but when you see some of these pics, you will understand. I have three toddlers who are a handful. It's hard to get a moment when I can just sit at the computer and blog, blog, blog. Pics will have to do.

So, we have pics of Rebecca holding each of the pups, me creatively nursing the pups and one of me picking on Pete. Enjoy!!!

Weights!

I almost forgot to post their latest weights!
Sadie - 1 pound 8 ounces
Pete - 1 pound 11 ounces
Beau - 1 pound 13 ounces

September 24, 2008 - 5 Weeks Old!

Yesterday marked the pups 5th week since their arrival. They are so playful these days. On Sunday September 21, we went to Ocala to visit the human great-grandparents. Also, there were my uncle Sam and aunt Callie. Sam is a lovely chihuahua and Callie is a dachshund. Oh yeah and my human Uncle Steve, Aunt Cathy and Cousin Stephen :-). We had fun.

Here are some new pictures. The puppies LOVE the other dogs, especially the pugs. The black pug, Cooper, is so funny. She loves those puppies and will risk me attacking her just to get to view them in the box. I sit back and watch with a growl on my lips. Chubs is pretty harmless. He's the fawn pug. He sniffs the puppies! Then there is a pic of the three amigos. They are getting quite the personalities.

Beau a.k.a. Big Spot was the first to escape the whelping box. It didn't last long - he whimpered until my mommy put him back with the group. Sadie loves to eat. Especially when mommy gives her a Nutri-Cal treat! It's a gooey, yummy treat for dogs. Oh and Pete. What can I say about Pete. He is spoiled rotten. The others will sleep and he cries for one of the humans to pick him up. They do and he stops crying. Thanks a lot, humans (Rebecca - you know who you are).

Thought you would enjoy a picture of the three pups. They were on mommy's bed playing with me and their father, Leo. Leo is still quite frightened by them. He won't admit it though - he is the alpha-macho male in the house - hehe.

From left to right: Sadie, Pete and Beau. We gave Big Spot a name today. He doesn't have a human owner yet but all the others had a name so...
