Fern’s puppies are one week old and have nearly doubled their birth weights!
And I have given them names on a Motown Theme.
The boy is Marvin for Marvin Gaye.
The girls are named after the Supremes:
Diana Ross
Mary Wilson
and Florence Ballard.
We are a very musical family and this is my second litter that has had a musical theme. Two years ago we had the Blues litter.
So here are some recent photos of the pups with their new names!
I’ll get some better photos in a few days!

This is Diana.

This is Florence.

Lily’s puppies will be 3 weeks old on Tuesday. Below is a link to a video I took last Friday.
The video is too long to include in this post. But if you copy the link (MINUS THE PERIOD AT THE END) and paste it in your browser, you can watch it on You tube.
It shows them beginning to play with each other, snuggle and wobble on their little legs. The best!!

This is when the fun begins! The puppies are moving around a lot now and all but one have eyes at least partially open! They are also making fun coos and chirps…almost like little birds. Please click “MORE” to see photos of each pup at two weeks.

Introducing our Blues Legends Litter (Potter and Maxi’s Pups) with names, weights and new photos.
All are doing quite well. I spent time with each puppy handling their paws and ears and rubbing their bellies. They also had their first nail trim. Lots of stretching and yawning going on and they are moving around like a herd of little guinea pigs!
This is when the fun begins.
We had a terrific storm here in southwest Florida last night but they never seemed to notice.
