YuMmy.. yUmMy.. in my TuMmy!!

Today we had a small window without any rain..
These muddy puppies got to come out and play in the grass for a minute and enjoy their toys..
Liberty has come out of her shell. She is very playful and
the first to come running with her tail a waggin!
Aspen is a curious girl! She likes to watch what's going on
and is quite the explorer!
 Cruzer has no fear. He is very curious and just explores wherever he wants!
Flower is very sweet and playful. She loves attention!!
So my husband was working on the garden.. The pups were very interested
in what he was doing with that crazy contraption
we like to call a lawn mower..
They followed him as far as they could so they
could continue to watch his shenanigans..
 
Then he started the motor!!
Needless to say they ran for shelter!!
 They LOVED eating puppy food!!
we softened it in warm water.. and they went to TOWN!!
They were pretty messy when they were all done..
Nice full bellies.. They all curled up and fell asleep..

a BREAK from the RAIN..

These babies are THREE weeks old now! The weather has been so muddy and messy they have not had a lot of outdoor play time. But we did have a brief break from the pouring rain today so we took the opportunity to snap some new pictures!
 
All of the puppies are doing really well! Their mama is taking really good care of them. They are still a little wobbly but are getting around and are quite the explorers. We noticed that their teeth are starting to come in! We will be starting them on soft food next week.. THAT is always fun..
The time is flying by.. It is so fun to watch them grow.. Their personalities are just starting to show.. This is when it gets FUN!!
 
 
FLOWER
(sold, Thank you Court & Family!!)
Flowers personality is pretty easy going so far.
She doesn't seem to mind being away from her litter mates.  
 She likes being snuggled in our laps.. and she loves attention.
Flower has a uniquely marked collar. She kind of has a zig zag..
We thought if we were to keep her we would name her Zip..
Like a zipper.. zig, zags.. But Border Collies are Zippy..
 Flower inherited  the 'smart dot' from her Champion Borderfame ancestors..
 
She has the cutest hourglass mask too.. Love this girl!!
 
LIBERTY
(available)
Liberty is the mellowest and smallest of the bunch so far. really easy going.
She is still a border collie.. so mellow is a relative term..
 She is traditionally marked with a smaller blaze and muzzle.
Her rough coat is coming in with a wave to it. Such a pretty puff ball!
Her collar, also traditional, just wraps around the top of her shoulder.
I LOVE her sweet little petite face.. Such a cute girl..
 
ASPEN
(sold to Laura)
Aspen is a mamas girl..
 she doesn't like to be away from her litter mates..
But she is ok if your snuggling her..
 She is traditionally marked, with the 'smart dot'.
And a darling hourglass blaze.
 This girls is a puff ball..
Her rough is coming in so soft and fluffy!
Aspen is a sweetheart.. I adore her little face!!
 
CRUZER
(sold to Steve)
This cutie pants is an explorer. He follows his mom wherever he can and is very curious.
He doesn't like being alone.. But no three week old puppy does..
He is uniquely marked with  darling black ears and a black eye.
 Cruzer is a fun little guy.
His personality is really starting to show!
He loves any attention and loves to snuggle..  
 
Taking Pictures Is EXHAUSTING!!

Anything.. Everything for a Friend..

This post isn't puppy related.. But it is VERY close to my heart.. Our best friend was diagnosed under a month ago with stage 4 stomach cancer. Now, this is a very aggressive cancer, but my friend is a fighter.. and he is fighting for his life and for his family right now.. So prognosis with a positive attitude? Hope for a bright future.. with help.. Since this was unexpected and he isn't able to work and support his family as before.. His extended family and friends have organized a fund raiser for him.. (he isn't the type to ask for help of any kind.. but they need it..) TEAM JEREMY this link will take you to the face book page. But for those of you who would maybe like to help with a cash donation.. the family has set up a PayPal (click the link) account in his name. You can gift any donation to: teamjeremyhardy@gmail.com through paypal.. Anyway.. Thanks for reading.. I appreciate your support. And I know the Hardy Family does too.. I'll be posting updates.. since they are family to us.. Anything for a friend.. Never Fight Alone..

DOMINO Effect..

These babies have graduated from hamster sized fur balls to guinea pig cuddlers!
With only four pups in the litter, there is no competing for food so they are growing fast and are so healthy! They are all very active. Their eyes are all open now and they are very curious and mobile. I call it the domino effect because once they find each other with in seconds they are asleep..
 
Here are their 2-Week old pictures!!
All of the puppies are black & white
traditionally marked with a unique flair. Enjoy :)
