AND THEN THERE WERE....

One would think
that when you have a lot of puppies
you wouldn't miss just one,
but then just one turns into
just two
and then
just three
and then
well, you get the picture.

The next thing we knew,
there were only three left -
Todd, which you can tell
because of the blue collar.
Jazzi and Sophie-
we're not really sure which one is which.

Then one, stormy, rainy afternoon,
a strange car came,
and the next thing we knew,
Sophie was going
up the road in it -
and she didn't even look back.

That left Jazzi and Todd.

Then
Jazzi
left
and
now

Todd is left to eat alone,
but
on the other paw,
he gets all the food,
all the toys,
all the petting,
all the rocking,
all the lap-time
and has the big puppy box
all to himself.
He will leave us later
in the week.

Since Mom feels sorry for him,
she's been really generous
with the peanut butter Kongs!!

Miss Ivy would like to go in
and keep him company
but Mom and Dad, the meanies,
won't let her.
She saw the Vet this week.
When we got her,
she weighed 3 pounds 4 ounces
and on Monday
she weighed 9 pounds 14 ounces
and we haven't even had her 4 weeks.
We think her name should be
"Poison Ivy"
because
she is growing like a bad weed!!
BOL!!

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh, Ruairi,
Ivy and Todd

PS - We're sorry we haven't been around to visiting
your blogs, but our secretary has been a bit overwhelmed.
We think things will calm down a bit now -
at least we hope so.

THE NEW COMES IN AS THE OLD GOES OUT

This is one of the last times
that the little sharp toothed puppies
will be able to nurse from Carrleigh.
By the end of the week,
they should be totally weaned.

They start to explore
their "new" surroundings.
While they are still in the same puppy box,
a crate has been added
so that they can get used to it
and they have been moved from our bedroom

into our living-room.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh, Ruairi
and
The Sweet Babes

WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE TO SEE THE SWEET BABES

They have secrets to share
and comfort to give each other.
This is Lynzi giving Kilts a kiss.

Or one of the sweet babes
with a full tummy and a clean bed,
ready for an afternoon nap.

But we just had to share this picture.
This is Lilly and Piper's son, Obie
(in the front)
taking a bubble bath with this galpal, Ebony.
They wanted to be sparkling clean
for their human pup's first birthday party!!

Happy Birthday Baby T!

XOXO,
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh, Ruairi

OUR SWEET BABES - FIVE WEEK PHOTOS

We don't know what kind of gremlin
attacked Blogger, but like some of you,
we have lost some post -
who knows maybe they will come back
but our videos from yesterday are gone
and so is our post scheduled
for this morning.

Regardless of that,
here are the Sweet Babes
on their 5-week birthday.

#1 - JAZZI

#2 - LYNZI

#3 - BONNI

#4 - JOCK

#5 - FERGUS

#6 - MACKIE

#7 - KILTS

#8 - GUTHRIE

WOW!! THOSE PUPPIES CHANGE SOME EVERY DAY!!

Every day we see some changes
in our Sweet Babes -
we think it must happen
when they are sleeping!!

They all sleep so comfortably -
and in the strangest positions -
sometimes all piled up together
and sometimes all lying on their backs.

They love doing a photo-shoot
with Dad while Mom is changing their bed.

If you look close
at this "alligator" mouth,
you will see some teefers poking through.

We wonder -
how could a sweet face like this
ever bite anyone.

XOXO,
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh, Ruairi
and
The Sweet Babes

ANOTHER BIG CHANGE FOR THE SWEET BABES

The Sweet Babes
got their first ever chance
at eating puppy gruel yesterday -
WOW!! They thought this was what
they were born to do -
it was like they had been waiting all their life
for just this moment.

We are trying the YouTube thing today
as Blogger is so obstinate when it comes
to uploading videos.
Please let us know if it doesn't work.

CLEANING EACH OTHER

AHHH!!

And then dessert!!

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh, Ruairi
and
The Sweet Babes

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - BABY EDITION

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Ruairi

FOR SOME REASON......

Mom has the opinion

that wet dogs

who need grooming
should not be posting their pictures
on the internet.

So we're here having fun
playing "keep away".

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Ruairi
