More things that light up our lives

Thanks to Denise for the first puppy pictures. Scrawny little things right now, but they will be plump soon with Hannah for a mom.

Hannah’s first litter we used puppy names starting with A and going through J. Last time it was K through S. This time we finish up the alphabet plus one. Mandy suggests that we use T through Z for the blacks and then something different for the brindle.   So now we are taking suggestions for names.  Some difficult letters this time.

(Update – one of the other girls is a dark brindle per Denise.  So I need to revise that idea.)

 Black boy T

Black boy – start over with A?

Puppies!

The Pilot/Hannah puppies arrived this morning.   Huge, tremendous thanks to Denise Waiting for volunteering to take this on for us.

Eight puppies: two boys and six girls!  I believe there are seven blacks and one stripey one, though one of the pups above looks like it could be a dark brindle.

The first four born . . .

The first and the last born were the boys.  We are really excited by this litter and can’t wait to see how they grow.

 

Equal Time for Puppies

The last weekend of having all 9 puppies. They grow up so fast.  The last few days they’ve been able to spend some time in the dog yard in the mornings and late evenings.  It’s too hot mid-day.  We carefully rigged shiny silver shade cloth over the exposed area of a kennel so as to be hawk resistant.

The long-suffering Hannah shouldn't have anything left, but they still try. And she lets them.

Opie: "I've got my daddy, nannee, nannee . . ."

So sweet when they're asleep.

Count down to lift-off. We have some ears that won't need much or any taping.

Oh, you again? Yes, her name has become "Opie" though we both have a tendency to call her "Oops".

Louie the Lunk with his bootiful bloo eyes.

Pick you up? Again? Why?

Chaucer and Stormy Visit

I promise: more puppy pictures tomorrow. Tomorrow they will be having chicken wings for the first time, so that should be interesting. Today we had several puppy-huggers come to visit. Late in the afternoon I decided that I should snap a few pictures.

Nate loved meeting his Auntie Louise. I believe that she was rather taken with him as well.

Aunties are tasty.

Juniper and her goofy boy-dog Chaucer. Chaucer is the blue version of his brother Huxley.

Chaucer spent what seemed like hours cleaning Hannah's face. And Hannah

Kacy daughter-and-clone Stormy, on her mom's old dog bed (sniff).
