Pictures of Kwill and Remy's litter!



"The Girls"





"The Boys"



        We had a nice quiet weekend and got to spend a lot of time "playing" with the new puppies. "Playing" with week old puppies in our house consists of massages, belly rubs and lots of kisses! All the puppies are gaining weight nicely. One of the black boys is quickly becoming the little piglet in the litter! The other black boy is staying on the smaller side, but still gaining weight nicely. All the blues are about the same size and the red merle girls are still "the chunky monkeys!" What I like best about this time is how the colors develop, the copper trim starts to come in and those merling spots, flecks  and dots start to appear. I caught the big black boy trying to stand on Saturday morning. He was up on his front legs and was rocking back and forth trying to get his back legs underneath him. Liz said the bigger blue boy was trying to do the same thing the day before. It is interesting to watch them develop and see which ones are the "over achievers" in the litter. This weekend we have three photos, girls, boys and everybody! We have a theme...the "action litter" since the Dr Justin Sellon http://www.drweldys.com/ said this was the most active litter he had ever seen  when docking tails at 36 hours old.

  Kwill is a great mom, keeping them clean and well fed. She is so happy, she glows!

"The Whole Litter"

       Next weekend we will have individual pictures and names so it is easier to identify each one as we post about them instead of refering to them as "big blue boy". In the meantime, please check back for a mid-week update!!

We should also have a new updated website anyday now!!!
