Stevie

Stevie Ray is a lover. No question about it! He looks at me with those big brown eyes and how can I resist picking him up? He has a distinct white patch in the middle of his back and a sweet black patch on his white tummy.

Jimi is a real sweetheart. I love how half his forehead is white and the other half black! A very huggable furball!

Billie

This is Billie, as in Holiday. You can see she loves her toys! Actually they all do but I needed to distinguish her from Tina…you can see why! I’ll try to do a better job of catching her eyes the next time!

Tina1

This is Tina. A bit overexposed but I wanted to show the cute grey rings around her eyes…almost a reversed raccoon look! See…she has the blue toy but was more interested in getting on my lap!

Janis2

This is Janis. She started out a big girl… bigger even than the boys. But the others are catching up to her. She has a lot of white and really loves to cuddle!

Fresh Air and a Warm Winter Breeze! A Video

Puppies are 5 weeks old now and able to enjoy the wonderful weather in Southwest Florida. It took a few minutes to get accustomed to this new environment but pretty soon they were enjoying their picnic and the fresh Florida air!

Boy Are We Busy!!!

Puppies are growing by leaps and bounds. So much has happened over the last few days I don’t know where to begin.

We removed the rails in the whelping boxes because the puppies were big enough that mom would khow if she happened to sit on one of them….and, there is a lot more room without the rails.

Then, we introduced the litter boxes. Because the litter boxes take up so much room, we had to move to a bigger apartment! After just a few days, puppies are doing great going potty in the litter boxes.

Then we introduced the back yard! A bit scary at first. Funny sensations on our toes. Breezy air in our ears. Lots of nature sounds. Oh my!  But, after 20 minutes or so, all these dangers melted away and they just played and played.

Playing in our whelping box for the last time. Note the rails have been removed now. Puppies are large enough that they don’t have to worry about being squished by mom!

And, playing….playing…playing.

Sunshine, fresh air and grass…..oh my! Puppies love exploring and, after just a few minutes, they LOVED exploring their outdoor pen.

Here is their outdoor playground in our back yard. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can play outside every day!
