some say it's done with museum wax...

And, I could show you the other 80 or so photos, but this is about as good as it gets on an eight puppy-butt bench with nine puppy-butts. We got by with a little (lots, really) help from our friends: Cindy came over and was the official photographer while Thann and Bruce helped Dennis and me wrangle puppies. We all had a great time and the puppies were totally worn out after their "puppytography" session. I think Bruce actually mastered the "pot-banger" job. Many thanks to all, it does take a village.

From left to right: Lillith, Locke, Laurie, Louie, Lupe, Linus, Leah, Lovey, and Loralee (who only fell off the end about five times!)

Oh my gosh - they are so fun!

What a bunch of chow hounds!

Holding them are Anthony, Chris, Jon, Jack, and Kendra!

Finally ~ some new photos

I apologize right up front for not updating this blog a little more often. I'm taking photos on a regular basis, but they just don't seem to get out of the camera, through the editing process and up on the blog. By the time I have some photos, the pups have changed so much, the photos aren't very good representations - cute puppy photos, though! I'm going to throw a few random photos up now and hopefully, I'll have some photos from this weekend and a video up by Sunday night. They will be 5 weeks old on Monday and everyone is weighing in between 3.5 and 4 lbs.
