Busy day with 28 baths and everybody getting face and some feet shaved.  When you start young they are pretty compliant(less compliant as they get older) Grace loves to feed the babies and will lay down there with them for a couple hours.  Since she doesn’t feed them while standing her belly isn’t all tore up like Rosalie and Dotties 😦  Dog door training is going really well.  Such smart babies 😀

This baby is just precious! He is SO SWEET, so easy going.  He tries so hard to get on my lap and keep his position.  Full of kisses, plays so gentle.  Adorable!! Linda is SO CUTE! She may be smaller than the other babies (the smallest pup in the litter may not be a small dog when grown, it just means they were not as good at getting and holding on to a nipple) but takes no crap.  She loves outside and is often the last one to come back in  😀  All are so darn cute! Weather is pretty good, the wind died down so I’ve propped the dog door open and the babies go in and out.  They start out by pooping outside (which is very helpful) then will go out to pee (even more helpful!) By the time they go home they know they want to go out to potty 😀 We are on cuteness overload, if that’s even possible 😀

OMG I can’t wait to see Moola’s final color, he has light brown under his dark brown.  He is so sweet, waits patiently for lovin. so hard to resist! I’m very happy with the Dennis babies.  GREAT colors and SO SWEET!  Those brindle boys are just fabulous!! I so hope Lira surprises me and is a silver brindle like her grandma Jinx (couple more weeks it should show up).  It is REALLY WINDY (Grrrr at least its in the 40’s) makes it so hard to get them outside as I have to block the doors or heat the outdoors :0  Harlee will be here for the weekend, everybody gets baths Saturday!!

I cant hardly stay away from these adorable faces!! They get cuter by the minute!! Rosie babies are using the doggy door to go outside, they poop outside but don’t always pee.  They will (it’s a process like human potty training) All nine babies have wonderful homes and can start joining their families December 19th (give or take) They will be so loved 😀 (as all dogs should be!! )  Grace and Dottie babies are starting to like being outside.  Teeth are coming in so pretty soon they can eat dry kibble and the meat I cook for them 😀

TOP: Betty, Biff, Dave and Linda.  Bottom: Lorraine and Doc going home together, Marty, Sally and Stella.  So darn cute and SO SWEET 😀    They are getting a little better about being outside since it stopped raining.  When they are out they poop which is helpful.  All such lovers, everybody trying to get on my lap.  I make sure everybody gets lots of lovin, they absolutely couldn’t be cuter!

Could Rosalie’s babies be ANY cuter?? And five weeks already!! Just three short weeks and they will be off to start their new lives (makes me happy/sad) They will be pampered and loved members of their families bringing smile after smile.  Grace and Dottie babies have blended quite nicely.  They play, snuggle and share moms 😀  What good moms we have, they feed everybody.  Mornings (5:30) are hectic as I scramble to get the babies outside so I can clean up overnight poop before everybody wallers in it.  Couple more days and they’ll know the routine and go outside and have breakfast from mom while I clean up.  No more goo, we’ve moved on to kibble soaked in milk, much neater. YEAH!

After our visitors left I got busy and moved Gracie’s babies down to the family room so they can start going outside.  This weeks weather is going to be in the high 40’s they’ll love that (so will I, less wet bedding and newspapers)  😀  Rosie’s babies love outside and go out to poop (not all peeing yet but it’s a process).  The moms are a little overwhelmed but so sweet about feeding everybody.  The small and medium babies love Goo and are eating more and wearing less.  Later this week I’ll stop mixing it in the blender and give them milk soaked kibble like Rosie’s babies.  They need baths but pointless until they eat without laying in the bowl 😀

My favorite thing is my poodle Christmas tree (well not really but close)with over 20 years of ornaments.  Just when I think I have no room for another ornament I squeeze in some more 😀 Some years you can find a lot of them other years hardly any 😦  Pups are doing great!  Rosie’s babies love outdoors and cry to go out.  Dottie babies went out for the first time and didn’t know what to think but not much crying actually and tails were up!  Grace babies will move downstairs later today as they need more room.   Life is good!

OMG we’ve never had colors like this before!! Can’t wait to see how they turn out!  Gracie babies DIVE INTO their goo, can’t say I’ve ever had babies quite this messy :0 But thankfully it passes.  Since Grace is not terribly lady like I should have expected it 😀 Rosalie babies love outside even if it’s cold, I put them out every two hours since its too cold for the puppy door.  We’ll get Dottie babies outside too after some rearranging.

First haircuts for Dottie’s ADORALE babies!! Dave, Doc and Linda are available 😀 Second face haircuts for Rosalie’s babies, also front feet.  OMG we are on cuteness overload 😀  Grace babies started GOO and I don’t think we’ve ever had a litter that ate so much they fell asleep in the bowl 🙂 They love food!! Dottie babies are the only babies we’ve ever had that did not LOVE GOO! They eat it, but certainly aren’t excited about it.. They like mom who does NOT like their sharp little teeth :0 Trying to put my poodle Christmas Tree up, it’s slow going but I’ll get it up! I love it and all the years of collecting ornaments 😀
