She Finally Popped!
I knew that we were going to have puppies today when around lunch time, Barbie stood at the gate to get upstairs. The look on her face was a familiar one - Calm and cool, she was telling me, it's time! She spent the the day in the comforts of her private "birthing...
They Look Like Chihuahuas!
The five week mark is when puppies start to resemble Chihuahuas. Their ears stand - sorta - their snouts armor defined and their domes start to pop a bit. Five weeks is also when they start to be a bit more adventurous and active. The boys are loving playing what the...
Kiss Loves The Babies Too

Meeting Their Daddy
Beamer bounced back from his surgery within days but I have kept him from playing with the puppies because e know just how much he loves to play with the younger ones. That much activity might not have been a good thing. He has been chomping a the bit though so today...
Pop And A Haircut – 2 Bits
Barbie has beyond popped! Big time - Like "I think there at at least five puppies in there" popped. To prepare for their arrival, I went ahead and shaved Barbie's belly hairs and cut down her pantaloons to keep things more clean and hygienic. We are officially on...
Loving The Addition To The Diet
With the change in location came a change - or should I say, addition to - their diet. Outside of mom's milk-bar, they cold free feed on Merrick kibble and also dine three times a day on a served dish of Merrick Puppy Plate. I am here to tell you they gobble it up...
Lookie Here!
It appears as though the deals continue! While at Stein Mart, I found more of the infamous PicnicTime chairs and so excited to see they offer black. I would love to get my hands on more in that color. Unfortunately they had sold out of that color but that does mean...
They Are Down Here
Just as I predicted, the boys have moved from the quite nursery to the everything but quiet living room, to begin the next stage of their socialization. Sights, sounds and smells will multiply daily, if not hourly. From this point forward, these two boys will be on...
Resting Up
I had to chuckle when I found Beamer and Barbie napping on the couch together today - In the human world, the parents-to-be would be resting up now before the baby arrives. In the canine world, I wonder if Beamer even knows he has more babies on the way? I would like...
It’s A Big Week!
The boys turned for weeks old today and I am here to tell you , this is the start t a ver important week in their lives. They will be leaving the solitude of our "nursery" upstairs and will be coming downstairs to begin their puppy kindergarten. Normally it's the...
The Newest Besties

The day has finally come for Beamer - The first day of his retirement! We had his neuter scheduled along with his dental cleaning, getting his geared up and red for his new life in Rhode Island with Jane and Paul, along with Kiki and his uncle Huggie. The snip-snip...
Special on Pups?
We all had a craving for Krystal sliders so we headed on into the drive-thru and an order was placed for a sackful. Dude came along for the drive and as a one that normally barks at any movements let lone person in sight, he didn't let out a peep while we waited....
Oh Yeah! I Was Right!
The boys are up and walking and very active! Weighing in at a pound - which is all puppy chub - they are three weeks old today and I guarantee they will be working that chub off in no time. Playful and animated, The Smooch is going to have her paws full with these...
BellyBand Nappers
Boomer sports a bellyband while he is roaming the house and has been doing so for a long time. He is so accustom to it that he will stand there and let us put it on him with no issue. One day we headed out for the afternoon and came back to find what looked like a...
She’s With Pups
Well, I m here to announce that the breeding of Barbie and Beamer most definitely took because today, she crawled up beside me on the couch, rolled over and SHOWED ME! She has a tell - the little hairs on her belly. Right about five weeks in, the hairs on her belly...
I Love Merrick Seasonals
I know I have been singing the praises of Merrick for a while now but I am here to tell you - I am thrilled with the results of using this food! I officially moved all but my lactating moms and puppies off of poultry - Keeping everyone else on Beef and Buffalo. WOW!...

This weekend was Milly, Ty and Olive's very first July 4th experience and I am proud to announce, they did a fabulous job! We have the local Red, Hot and Boom event right down the road from our house. With over 10,000 people attending, you know the fireworks are...
All Eyes Are On Them
And Us! That's because the boy'e eyes are open - They actually open two days ago. They are also very active for only two weeks old. Belly surfing all around the whelping box, they should be working on their puppy chub pretty quickly. As fast as these two are maturing,...
