THERE'S NOTHING QUITE AS SWEET AS PUPPIES IN THE MORNING

First, Aunt Lilly
has to jump in the puppy basket
to warm it up for the babies.

The puppies are still sleeping in
the whelping box
so Mom has to look and see
what a big mess they have made.


Then they go into the
pre-warmed basket to wait
to be weighed.


Here's Ciara on the scales -
of course we would never tell
a ladies weight.

And all of the items it takes to keep us
healthy and clean -
plenty of clean, fresh sheets
nail clippers,
finger nail polish (to identify us)
our comb (if we get poops stuck in our fur)
our worming medicine
(today was the first of 4 wormings
we will receive before we can go
to our forever homes)
Our weigh chart -
we get weighed twice a day,
but it is only recorded in the morning
and
the items it takes
to keep our room smelling fresh.
Of course there are dozens of
other things,
but we won't bore you with the details.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

XOXO
The Rocky Creek Gang

  5. It's amazing how much stuff you need for such little babies. And it's also amazing what a mess they can make in very little time.

  17. The pups are getting cuter, if that's possible! It looks like Carrleigh and you will be very busy cause puppies are lots of work.
