Learning how to play..

The puppies are almost 4 weeks old!

  This is my favorite age.

They will play and wrestle with each other but are just discovering toys

 All of the pups are doing very well.

Exploring the yard and teasing the cats.

 I even noticed them playing in the toy pile!

I can't wait until they start playing tug!

 And of course.. No one is complaining about how much they love to

climb in our laps for a rest in between adventures :)

Tomorrow will be their 4 week birthday!

Check back for their updated pictures :)

yummy.. yummy in my TUMMY!!

 These little babies aren't so little anymore!
You can see there is barely enough room for all 7.

So we decided to try some puppy food to see how they liked it..

 They LOVED it!

 Although they weren't quite sure WHAT it was.. They knew it was yummy :)

 They weren't the cleanest eaters either..

All of them pretty much looked like Lillie when they were done.

 it wasn't long after their tummies were stuffed to curl up together for a little rest.

 

3 Weeks Old..

These beautiful babies are starting to show their personalities!

They will tug my pant leg and growl, bark and wrestle each other.

And although they are still wobbly, they are really starting to get around.

It is so fun to watch them grow! 

 

Here are their latest pictures. They had just barely eaten and been brushed. We are introducing them to toys and after playing with them they were a little tuckered out for their pictures.  

CALAMITY

 This darling girl has traditional markings with a 3/4 collar,

four white socks and a white tipped tail.

Her tiny chocolate nose is starting to fill in!

 

ROOSTER COGBURN 

Rooster is a traditionally marked male with a unique flare!

He has a split-face with cute dots on the opposite side of his head.

He has a 3/4 collar, white sock and a white tipped tail. 

Rooster is quite ambitious and is really fun to watch him interact with the other puppies.  

 

WILD BILL

Billy is a traditionally marked male.

He has a full collar, for white socks and a white tipped tail.

He is still pretty mellow and cuddly.. But give him a week or two!

 

ANNIE OAKLEY

 Annie is a uniquely marked female. She has a white face, brown tipped ear and a dash of brown on her right eye. She has a full collar, four white socks and a white tail.

Annie, so far, is the neighborhood favorite.. probably because she is so cute and cuddly!

 

RINGO

 Ringo is a traditionally marked male with a wide blaze, not quite a split-face.

He has a full collar, four white socks and a white tipped tail.

Ringo is my brave puppy. He seems to be very curious and likes to explore.

 

LILLIE LANGTRY

 Lillie is a traditionally marked female.

she has a full collar, four white socks and a white tipped tail,

Lille is such a cuddler and is pretty content just hanging out in my lap.

 

BELLE STAR

Belle is a darling traditionally marked split-face female.

She has a full collar, four white socks and a white tipped tail.

She is my daughters favorite, she reminds us all of  Patches!

She is getting around really well and seems to like to explore..

Next week I will do more of stacked pictures so you can see their markings better.

They just don't like to sit very still at this point.. Not great at posing for the camera!

 

 



a little bit in LOVE..

 My sunshine has been DYING to play with the puppies.

We handle them daily but they are still too little to really play.

 Since they are getting around and their eyes are mostly open,

we just let them explore and 'played' with them.

 Annie & Ringo are checking out the yard!

She really adores these little babies!!

Shelby enjoyed a little time off too!

She is a great mommy and would come back to check on her babies between throws..

My monkey is still learning how to handle them properly.

He gets a kick out of how they squirm!!

It really didn't take long before they were worn out.

And it was time to go back inside.. 

2 Weeks Old..

Two weeks old already!

The puppies eyes are just beginning to open and they are walking and starting to explore.

They were born on Thursday, May 29th. They will be ready for their new homes locally July 10th and will be able to fly July 24th. They all have red & white rough coats like their parents.

1 Week Old..

These little cuties don't change very much in the first 2 weeks..

But it is fun to watch them grow! I took this picture last week so it is a few days old.

Infact they will be 2-weeks old on Thursday. But it was a cute picture so I thought I would post it..

We finally named them and they are all doing well!

In order of the dog pile.. Left to Right..

Introducing: Annie Oakley, Ringo, Belle Star, Lillie Langtry,

Wild Bill, Calamity & Rooster Cogburn. 

 

Shelby is an amazing mommy and doing awesome!!

We Have PUPPIES!!

They are just 3-days old! Just barely bigger than a hamster..
They are the cutest little bunch of red-heads that I ever saw!!

4 Girls, 3 Boys!!

Shelby is such a good mama.. 

The next two weeks are stressful for me though.

 I make sure they are eating regularly and weigh them daily.

So far they are all doing well! We can't wait until they are old enough to play!!  

Mans BEST Friend!!

 It's been a while since we posted! Shelby had her puppies on Thursday
and has been pretty cooped up. My little man was missing her so we thought we'd let her
 have a break from her babies and play.

 She really hangs on everything he says and does! She is so even tempered and patient!
She will play the same game or do the same 'job' for hours!

Shelby is such a sweet girl! Truly, our little mans best friend!!
