Willa's Puppies Two Weeek Pictures.

As I said in the previous post, we have been blessed with some nice weather today. So we couldn't pass up the opportunity to get pictures of both litters outside. Willa's puppies are close to having their eyes open! Some of them are already open a little bit. We can't wait, because then they will be more playful and it will be a lot of fun to have puppy playtime.

Ok, I have to brag a little....and I hope all the other puppies don't feel bad because I love them all the same and believe me they are all gorgeous and have really awesome coats...however....I am smitten with Orange Yellow female. She has some absolutely gorgeous coloring. I can't even explain it. It is a golden chocolate, with highlights on the feet, base of the underside of the tail, on her face. I will have to ask my breeder friend what she thinks, but it appears that Orange Yellow may be Phantom. I am a little sad that all the females are spoke for as I would love to try to convince Tom to keep her! :) Oh well....at least I get to enjoy a bunch of time with her and the other puppies until they go to their new home. I will try to get some pictures posted that shows her coloring better.

Lucy's Puppies First Outside Experience

I added some pictures below of Lucy's puppies first time outside. It has been very rainy here the last week or so, but finally there is sun! We usually have taken some outdoor pictures by now because the natural lighting is great, but we have had to wait on the weather to cooperate. So finally we were not only able to get some pictures of the them, but they were actually able to crawl around and explore a little. They were all very interested in the grass. They had never felt this weird texture and smelled the new smell. It was very warm, so I only got a few shots.
Hope you like them!

Lucy's Puppies (almost) 3 Week Pictures....Eyes Have Opened!!

Well, after saying that Willa's puppies are growing fast, I don't know what to say about Lucy's! They too are growing way too fast. They will be 3 weeks old and they are acting like it too. Their eyes have opened. They all have baby blues right now, but they will most likely change to green, hazel or gold. They are wiggling around a lot! They are pushing themselves into sitting positions are starting to push up on their feet and try to move around. This age is so much fun. It is really neat to watch them turn from tiny non hearing, non seeing puppies that just eat and sleep, into puppies that look around, hear you when you talk to them, move all over the place. We are really enjoying this time with them.

Below are (almost) 3 week and open eye pictures although a few of them would not open their eyes for the camera!!

Willa's One Week Pictures

Below are Willa's one week pictures. The puppies are growing so fast, we can't believe it. Willa has been taking such good care of the puppies. She just scoops them all towards her and snuggles them. It is so cute, when they are sleeping the puppies are draped all over Willa. Across her tummy, her paws, snuggled into her neck. She is such a wonderful mom.

Lucy's Two Week Pictures

Well, we had to do things a little differently today. While it was a good time for me to take pictures of the puppies.....they didn't necessarily feel the same way. They did not want to lay still and take pictures, they wanted to crawl around, and explore, holding their little noses out to sniff their way along. Since they can't see yet and are just beginning to hear, they guide themselves fully on scent. So I had to have two puppies out at a time so they could snuggle each other and be more likely to lay still for a moment or two. Believe me, a moment or two was all I got!! I spent about an hour-hour and a half taking about 200 pictures and the ones on the blog are really the only good ones!!

So bear with me while I explain which puppy is which...

Candid Puppy Pictures

Well the puppies are certainly growing! This is because of their wonderful mom Lucy. She takes such great care of them and loves nurturing and taking care of them. They make the cutest sounds when nursing, being held, or while trying to get in a good position for sleep. I will have to take a video and post it.
I love holding them while they snuggle into your hand or lap and make the most content purring(yes I know they are not cats but this is the est way to describe it) sounds as they drift off to sleep.
Below there are some pictures of the puppies as they are napping. They are happiest when the are piled on top of each other. If one is even any inch away from the other puppies it will fuss and cry until it is laying under or on top of the others. Absolutely adorable!
