Fedora's litter-Manicures and Names-5 1/2 weeks

Life is crazy around here and time is flying by....have I said that before? :)

Figured we'd better use up those names Pam gave these guys.

She went with a hat theme if you recall.

Fedora is momma.

We trimmed up all those itty bitty puppy nails and painted their left front paws to try to make it easier to tell them apart (we'll see how that goes)

Here is the crew....

Ladies first-

Sporting light pink is Prarie Bonnet--aka-Bonnie

In coral is French Beret-aka-Beret (for now I think)

A couple pups soaking up some love on Dessa's lap.

Hey--this girl isn't part of Fedora's litter (stay tuned for their names later)

Though the puppies are all living together in one big commune...they love each other.

Gentlemen-

In brown (of course) is Stetson

Wearing black is Bowler

Red is Tam O'Shanter (Tam for short?  Shant?)

 I'm really liking this little guy a lot--he's spunky.

I think he will be our DNA test pup.

Silver-Shako (possibly shortened to Ko)

In blue is Derby

Bella and the pups.

Hugs

Kisses

Pup update--Meg's giant pups

'Dora's pups are 5 weeks in a couple days...and Meg's are 3 1/2 weeks old.

 Fedora's pups are so playful--and cute.  Meg's pups are just starting...but as you can see--they have a considerable size advantage.

They mix together a lot now in the pup room.

Meg will often be nursing a mix of the litters.

Dessa, the puppy whisperer

 Excuse the girls attire--Casey was alone with them for some time today....

 "Dessa, love us, pet us, please."

Side by side.

They were not interested in Tayla's doll blanket.

Dessa's special pup of the day.  She kept begging to keep her forever.

Armful.

The Beagle mixes look a little shih-tzu or something lapdog terrier like to me...haven't figured it out yet.

This little girl looks kinda like her momma.

But some of them are giants.  Big heads...a look I can't place yet.
And a couple have thick--little longer coats....
?

Pup was sound asleep long after the others went back to their momma's.
We had to drag her away from Dessa.

Some video.

Looks like the Beagle pup might be humping...but he's just off balance.
I think :)

Little howl.
There is a cute barker in this mix and a good howler.

Just Mr tail wagger again.
I think puppy tail wags are adorable!

Fedora's puppies- 4 weeks old

Tonight I let the girls bring up three of Fedora's pups to play with.

We picked the three that were awake.

2 boys and a girl

The litter has really been playing up a storm!

There are a couple bold pups and a couple real cry babies :)

Here is one of the lovers.

 The girls were SO excited!

One of the boys was a realy crybaby.  He hated how slippery the floor was.

He cried

And Dessa coddled him.

And kissed him.

And loved him

Dessa, you're totally going to spoil that pup.

She was fine with that.

Excitement

Waggy tails (the one little boys tail wagged and wagged and wagged) and apologies for the music in the background :)

Puppy update

Hello!

Sorry for the lack of updates...I just got back from Arizona.

It was beautiful and warm and sunny!

And now I'm snowed in here.

Whey did I come home? :)

Pups are doing fabulously!

All growing well and getting chunky.

Both girls are great mothers and have settled in to enjoy each other's company.

Here are Meg's wee ones.

Eyes still closed--still eating and sleeping all day and night.

Meg is such a good girl!

She barks to go outside.

Sits for treats.

And gives you eternally grateful looks when you pet her.

She always keeps watch over her babies when I'm handling them.

Dora's pups have started going mobile.

I caught two of the brave ones out exploring.

 Sorry for the weird camera setting...I thought I had it right.

Interesting profile don't you think?

So excited to do that DNA test...waiting a little longer since you really gotta swab good.

This little one was totally into my pant leg.

 And my toes.

 Back to bed

 awwww

oops--another of Meg's mass of black

'Dora is just the happiest little momma.

Wag wag wag wag

She's gonna be a little socialite

A little clip of the explorers you can actually kinda see :)
