Happy Day!

Sorry it has been a bit since we have posted, but Gary has been down with a major illness where he wasn't able to get up and around for days, so I was holding down the fort so to speak for days and I just didn't have the time to post. Yesterday was the puppies 3 week birthday and they are all doing so great. For their birthday I gave them a little bit of baby food...THEY loved it...I will post up some of those pictures for everyone to see their first meal. If you have been watching the webcam we moved the family over to their half duplex now which gives them more room to move around since they are now running and playing. The flooring is still their mats for now, but once we get them on their food and not relying 100% on mom, we will start putting cedar shavings down. They is normally done around 4 1/2 - 5 weeks old depending on when they are switched to regular food, but Momma Splash is still nursing them and doing just fine. They have slowed down on their weight gain but that is to be expected since they are up and burning more calories. If you have noticed the 4 legs in the background of the camera, that is mom's elevated food and water bowl so we can keep water and food in there constantly so she can eat and drink (and boy does she LOVE to drink water=milk). This prevents the puppies accidentally getting in the water bowl and not being able to get out. (NOT GOOD) The pups are now starting to hear my voice and bark and whine to try to find me..They are quite the bunch!! Gorgeous, sweet, laid back and they LOVE music! We play our Satellite Radio for them and they don't seem to mind a bit..esp the 70's and 80's.

Sorry I couldn't resist..we are getting so close to Halloween, I am trying to find outfits for the babies and then I found the baby dress. PURPLE girl was posing for the camera..I thought the pic turned out great..let me know what you think..  ")

  2. Gibbs is so laid back, what a difference from Abby. Both are great in their own ways. I wish I could get another one of your puppies to have all three colors, but two is enough for me. This group of puppies are so big. Can't wait to see them when they get older.
