Lily Has Puppies!!
Lily whelped 8 beautiful puppies October 11. Six boys and two girls.
I’m sorry for the delayed posting but I had a hip replacement September 29 so we have been very busy!!!
Anyway, mom and puppies are doing well. You can see more about the parents on my “New Litters” page.
Meanwhile, here are some photos.

The whole gang at 10 days.
Moving On
Maxi’s puppies are moving on to their new families. I am so delighted with all the loving and nurturing homes that these kids are going to. And, all over the country! Florida, New York, California, Virginia and Michigan.
Seamus is the only one left and, in the meantime, he is getting very spoiled by his older playmates.

Roll Out the Red Carpet!
Here are Maxi’s pups front and center! Aren’t they gorgeous?
Maxi is such a good mom. Puppies are all gaining nicely.
When I weigh them, I take a few minutes to stroke their tummies and nuzzle their little faces so they can get accustomed to people smells and touches.
At this stage they are both blind and deaf. But their senses of smell and touch are extremely keen. That is how they find their way to the milk station!
Enjoy this morning’s video on YouTube. If you double click on the video it will enlarge to your entire computer screen. The background whining is from my puppy boy Potter who is so done with all the attention being diverted from him!
Already Gaining Weight
It is more common than not for puppies to lose weight their first day with their moms. But apparently Maxi has more than adequate milk (nice when there are only 6 puppies!) because everyone of them gained weight. Some more than others and I am encouraging the big weight gainers to use the less used nipples to get them into more production. As with humans, the more a nipple is stimulated the more it produces.

| Ooops how did this get here? My grandson Ben who came to see the new puppies. He’s being protected by Lily and Willow |
 |
| Maxi giving one of her pups a bath. Since puppies cannot control their “plumbing” yet, the mama will lick their bottoms to stimulate them to urinate and defecate. |
 |
| Most of the puppies taking a nap. All except for the little black and white boy. The other boys are chocolate and white. And we have two black and white girls and one sable and white girl. |
