Lucy's pups - 3rd week of life

Well all the pups managed to open their eyes this week, and they are having a good time trying to figure out things like walking, climbing and playing. They do growl and bark on purpose now which is hilarious.

Enjoy a few photos and especially the video.

Maybe I should have named Rave "Mickey" ??

Still we spend a large majority of our time sleeping. Sometimes with our tongues out...


But sometimes we do wake up... HI!!!


Reba experiments with sitting

New camera = new pictures

A well-meaning friend accidentally dropped and stepped on my old camera. So I bit the bullet and bought myself a new, affordable camera today. Here are my experiments for the evening just checking out the basics. I am sure the pictures will get so much better one I know the camera a bit more thoroughly, but for now you'll get the idea.

Also, the puppies had their first real bath with soap tonight, so here are some more puppy pictures.

Lucy's pups - Week 2

The pups continue to grow at an alarming rate! Here they are today, 11 days old, with Lucy for size comparison.

So I admit it, I have a small preoccupation (or maybe, addiction) to puppy paws.

Well this week the pups have been up to all sorts of things. Today they started walking instead of just crawling, and Rave is working on opening his eyes. With my mom in town, we are taking plenty of photos. She brought them pink and blue baby blankets for Christmas.

Perhaps inspired by their gift, one thing the pups decided this week is they enjoy using their crate pad as a blanket. First they tunnel under, then they keep going until only their heads are peeking out and fall sound asleep.

Also, they all had their nails clipped for the first time. I'm fairly certain Lucy reckoned that to be my Christmas present to her (or at least to her teats).

The pups are also doing quite a lot of experimental barking and growling, and Stanley continues to make puppy noises back to them.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Merry Christmas, Rye!

Merry Christmas, Rob!

Merry Christmas, Rave!


Merry Christmas, Reba!

We always give our puppies litter names so they are easier to tell apart and we can quickly reference each pup for weights, etc.

Once a week I will update their blog with new photos and sometimes videos so you can see their progress.
