We turned a corner this past week when mom, Kyra and the puppies finished being dewormed and the diarrhea dried up. Solid food is a good thing, so is having puppies follow Kyra to the wooded area set aside for dog business. We are entering into the six week phase of puppy life and more training getting them ready to be adopted. Playing with feet, flipping them on their backs and crate training.

I am so thrilled to have a working camera again, I will be sharing more pictures of the pups and their tribulations. Enjoy!

Abraham, known as Abe, he’s the big guy. My husband Bud and I call him the Dum Dee Dum puppy, happy easy going guy doing his thing.

Beatrice aka Bea also known as Busy Bea, she looks most like mom all black and her face is growing more into mom’s face. She is the most independent self assured puppy. Right now she is in the crate for the first time and I didn’t hear a whelp or whine from her. She ate first out of a bowl and discovered how to get out of the gate to be with me as I take mom out.

Casanova is my heart breaker, Cas for short. He is the boy that I almost lost when his Kyra moved the puppies after they were born and I found him freezing and dying. He is my heart breaker for the very fact that when I turned him over on his back he shared his heart marking with me and I knew this puppy was going to make it. He is the smallest of the group and he doesn’t take crap from any of his bigger siblings.

Devin sometimes called Dev, he and Abe are the biggest of the puppies and then most similar in coloring only look closely and you will see his face is all his own. He is my biggest squealer when I flip him over on his back, or he wants to right next to mom. His turn in the crate is coming up and I know I will hear the loudest piggy noises coming from him.

Essie by now you can see there is a theme to the puppy names and Essie was the hardest to find the right name to fit. Sometimes she is Es and other times she is Em. She has the most expressive eyebrows and she is also a mommy’s girl. She will stop playing, sit down and look up at you with her beautiful eyes.

And last but most important is the mother of these lovely beauties Kyra. She is very shy and fearful of new people, she has bonded well to me and will do well in a quiet home, very sweet and gentle girl.
