7 Weeks, June 29

With litters so close in age (Sandie's and Madi's) I quite often have them play together and rest together (yes, it's quite adorable to see them all snuggle - talk about a puppy pile)  :-).  And, while all our pups are very close in personality (one of the reasons I love this breed) it's been so fun to watch some of mommas personaltiy traits shine through as they play and interact with other pups and with the other mommas in my home.  This litter, like their momma are wonderful combinations of: tender and affectionate - frisky and playful - silly and bubbly - amiable and good-natured.

3 Weeks, June 1

Madi's pups turned 3 weeks old today!  The pups and momma are doing fantastic.  Pups have started to wag their tail, explore their space, get excited to hear my voice and come to outstretched hands.  It's a fun and exciting time for sure.

Name Theme Chosen & First Photo Shoot, May 18

Recently I went to visit my mother in Florida.  While there Madi decided to deliver early (don't worry my husband and Mrs. Groen (Shirley) were ready and waiting for delivery).  So, name theme was inspired by my trip and the towns close to where I was.

Well Hello There Babies, May 11

Madi shocked us all......with her largest litter of 8 beautiful apricot (with white markings) pups!  Momma did AMAZING through labor and delivery and fell right into her role as mom - caring for her pups (feeding, snuggling, licking, etc.).
Madi had 4 girls and 4 boys.
