Ready, set, go! 3.1.25
After so many fun times, great games, lots of learning, and TONS of cuddles, it's time to pass the baton. These puppies have been a sweet addition to our family, and we're ready to share them with their forever families! We know they're going to have many wonderful adventures and we wish them all the very best in the days and years ahead!
Jolie - new name Sadie! South Portland, ME
Capri - new name Espresso! Washington, DC
6 Week Sweeties! 2.8.25

This is such a wonderful stage in puppy life! Capri, Jolie, and Lulu are super fun and playful, and then when they get tuckered out they come and curl up close to our sides. They adore rope toys, are starting to carry balls around (haven't figured out the "fetch" concept yet!), and will snuggle up with stuffed animals. They bravely climb up and over furry donut beds, and will leap from the heights of the 3" tall dog bed. Every day offers new delights for these cuties, and it's fun seeing the world through their eyes!
Capri! Will be going home to Washington, DC!
Lulu! Going home to Cape Elizabeth, ME!
Jolie! Will be going home to Portland, ME!
Obi's Shining Candles! 1.17.25

Obi's puppies have opened their eyes and are starting to stand on all four paws. They are getting lots of attention from our kids and are enjoying being carried around from room to room as they "explore" the house. Obi has nursed them almost to obesity - they are chunky monkeys! We did finally decide on a name for this trio of sisters...Candle Brands!: - Lulu Candles - La Jolie Muse - Capri Blue
Lulu!
Jolie!
Capri!
Obi Goes Early! 12.28.24

We were planning to set Obi up with her cozy whelping nest, warming light, and absorbent pad during the day on Saturday, anticipating the arrival of her puppies early the following week. Instead, she quietly gave birth to her puppies in the wee hours of Saturday morning without any of the normal early signs and with no fuss. The pups were several days "early" by our calculations, but were definitely full size and fully baked. Round bellies, glossy coats, and content suckling noises testify that these puppies are very happy to be here!
After 6+ months of litters dominated by male puppies, Obi blessed us with an all-girl litter! The name debate is still active but we'll be finalizing that soon. Meanwhile, here's an early peek at these beauties - two black & white parti and one black tuxedo!
