PUPPIES – PUPPIES – PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!


Beautiful weather today – 71 degrees here, so out with the puppies, of course!!!  Their first day out in the big yard.  Very cute.  Tried to get all eleven in one shot – failed.  

Merry really enjoyed her babies today.  She romped all around and jumped over them.  They chased her all over the yard.

       Amazed me how sure-footed she is with eleven running all around her. I have a hard time when they swirl around my ankles and there she was running, twirling, jumping like a whirling dervish and never stepped on any of them.    Ahem, Merry needs a groom – look at her flat-top – I did finally start her with shaving her feet and face but didn’t get her finished!! And just look at her sitting so proudly…  Granny Velvet was out too.  She had a good time playing with her first grandchildren — has been wanting to get to them so I said, come on…     This is Velvet greeting Teeny -my little preemie who I now adore.   She was so sweet with her.  And Teeny with her trophy — maybe you can see the twig on the ground in front of her, she was so proud – and a piece of it in her mouth…   What better way to spend a gorgeous afternoon – thought what a deal I have!!!!  Instead of my previous life of hours in the pentagon or other offices, here I am living my dream.  My goodness, I love this.

    I’m sure Teeny has nothing to worry about–Storm (smallest puppy from Little Lulu’s last litter, topped out at 43 lb) has never noticed that she’s smaller than most Standards, or the 90 pound dogs she leaps over and exhausts at the dog park.

    Wish I could see the puppy pack live–they look so darned cute in these photos.

    Teeny is adorable! Dante carried around twigs when I first got him at 7 weeks. He was so proud!
