Almost Eight Weeks, Wednesday, December 2, 2015

The pups will be headed off the their forever homes this weekend.  This afternoon they had their vet check which they all passed with flying colors.  Some of the pups look quite tired and ready for bed in some of their shots - in their defense.....maybe a photo shoot after their vet appointment = not the best idea.  They were still great sports and while I am completely BIASED are still just adorable.  I could smooch those sweet little faces all day!

Willow (fourth born, female, light apricot - buff)

Aspen (fifth born, male, light apricot - buff w/ white markings)

Four Weeks Already?!?!, Saturday, November 7, 2015

The pups are growing and changing so fast, I can't believe they are already 4 weeks old!!  They've started to play with toys, wag their tails at my voice and play in on our kitchen floor with my boys.  Adorable?  Doesn't even come close to the sweetness and cuteness of these little "trees".

First Photo Shoot (1w3d), Tuesday, October 20, 2015

It's a beautiful fall day, so we opted for having the pups' first photo shoot in the warm sunshine (coming through our glass front door). The pups seemed to love the warm sunshine, laying peacefully and allowing me to get some pretty sweet little shots. With fall all around us, the name theme came quick - TREES (types of trees).

Gracie's Pups Have Arrived, Saturday, October 10, 2015

Late Saturday night Gracie's pups made their debut!  Momma did a great job and is being so attentive to her little ones. Gracie had a beautiful litter of 5 pups (2 girls, 3 boys).  Both girls are buff (light apricot), one of the boys is a medium apricot and two of the boys are buff (light apricot).  Pups are eating all the time and gaining weight quite nicely!  At this point they spend their days snuggling with mom, eating and sleeping.  :-)  Oh the life of a pup......
