Growing fast now, eh??

Awww...

Inquisitive little things! Bill and Catherine came over in the am, and watched the pups for me, while I got some chores done...

But, so darn cute!

Playing well on their own now...

Amber needed to see what they were doing...

Okay - I guess you are alright.

I miss my babies...

Guess who is here??

Bouncing for joy...

Come on... hurry up and get out of that car and give me a hug!!

Grandma was pooped from the long day of travel, but real happy to get her hands on a puppy!

Of course, Angela loves them too - almost as much as I do...

Chris is in his glory here... so nice to see Grandma again, after all these years... Hey! I think this one is cutting teeth! ha ha (Yup - all of Amber's are now...)

Angela and Jason trying to see the teeth...

The repeating scene

I would hate to think that I leave you all thinking that raising puppies is all fun and games...

This is the scene I walk in to several times a day...

I am happy that Amber's pups have all learned to go to the toilet away from the sleeping area

A clean pen again... off to do laundry and take garbage outdoors now...

Some cute pictures...

Feeding Time

Amber was watching her pups eat,

Then she went into the pen and into the cube...

She was quickly followed in by a couple of babes...

Next thing I knew, they were tumbling out the sides! ha ha...

After their tummies are full, they always crash out...

Amber's pup's new play pen

Being as how there are seven of them, they now have a larger area to move in...

Good thing, cuz they sure enjoy playing now.

This little sleepyhead just woke up and was soon out playing as well.

These little cat balls are great for them at this age - light, bright and noisy.

The same with this little stuffed toy.

Settling in to the new spot...

Brandy's pups are enjoying the new spot...

all they need is some soft food, water,

a place to play,

some comfy sleeping spots,

and Mommy - all to themselves again.

Then I watched this happen...

Ha ha... does that look comfy..?

Wait a minute...

Amber - you CAN"T be enjoying this!?

Didn't look like much fun to me...

Anyway - I decided to move Brandy and her pups to the dining room and let Amber and her babes continue on in the den for now. The pups can wait and play outdoors together in a few more weeks...

What a lot of puppies!

Can you tell them all apart?

ha ha... they slept this way for a night

Seemed really happy, but I sure got mixed up...

Neither Mom seemed to mind this...

Both of them are such loving mothers that I am sure they would not have minded at all if I kept them this way... BUT...

Hmmm... whose pups are whose here?

This pen arrangement did not work well -

Never could tell whose pups were with whom?

They don't seem unhappy...

and neither were the Moms.
