oh, these babies are soooo cute!

The pups are now starting to play with "things" in addition to playing with each other. They got ahold of this towel and were biting and tugging on it.

Here's Morrison, sound asleep in the corner. Hardly seems comfortable

Mason fell asleep in the food dish while others were wrestling right next to him.



Martine met skippy up close. Skip has been following the progress of the pups from afar. This is the closest he's gotten to any of them up til today.


The pups starting getting food this week. Four weeks is the "magic" number, but we started a little early mixing goat's milk, water, and ground up puppy food - also known as weaning formula. I was a little concerned because Halor thought it was time that the pups nurse from her while she was standing and a couple of the pups weren't quite tall enough. We started with just supplementing two smaller pups, but they caught on and the others were quite interested - so now, they are all experts at lapping up gruel.
And now, introducing the "M" litter - born, July 11, 2008, and 4 weeks old:

The puppies are getting so big and you certainly got great names. Irish only wishes at least one of his "cousins" would be coming down here.
