Sweet & handsome, that's the Dash Man |
|
|
|
Jet
Sweet, funny & a wee bit wicked |
|
|
|
Mighty Mouse
Don't ask what it took to get this shot tonight! |
|
|
|
Bruiser
One steady, handsome, sweet guy who bravely posed even though his butt had slipped off the box |
|
|
|
SugarBear
We call her the Energizer Bunny - her mind just never stops working, but neither does her tongue or tail! |
|
|
|
Mellow Mel
Mel's so mellow it's not hard to get him to pose - the hard part is catching him awake! |
|
|
|
|
|
Solo
What a handsome, sweet boy |
|
|
|
Woody
Despite repeated attempts to get a shot of him sitting, Woody insisted on looking like a mutant in every pose. So, here he is laying down and looking much cuter. |
|
|
|
Coal
Since he was having a wild moment, Coal won the prize for "Can't Be Photographed Without Restraint" tonight |
|
|
|
Kia
She and Bruiser look similar - thankfully, there's an indoor/outdoor plumbing hint as well as her white hind foot |
|
|
|
Bee & Bruiser
Growing up doesn't mean foregoing the pleasures of a nap with Mom |

Grandma & Dash
Grandma Otter enjoys a nap with grandson Dash at her side. A great mother in her own right, Otter is having a good time being a grandma. |
|
|
|
Mouse & Toys
Mighty Mouse has a lovely, contemplative gaze as she gnaws on a toy. |
|
|
|
First Bones
At about 4 - 4.5 weeks, we give the pups their first raw bones. Their intensity is a great reminder that these are indeed baby predators. |
|
|
|
Solo Slipper Diving
These lion slippers amuse the pups in many ways. Here Solo demonstrates the joys of stuffing your head into the slipper. |
|
|
|
Glimpse of the future
Every now & then, a pup strikes a pose that offers a glimpse into what they may be like as mature dogs - awesome |
|
|
|
Mouse & Dash
Mouse & Dash warily share a bone |
|
|
|
|
|
SugarBear & Solo
Week 5 is punctuated by yelps, growls, barks & more as the pups really practice being dogs |
|
|
|
Buh-bye
Mouse thinks posing for the camera is a bore, and is shown leaving for more exciting places |
|
|
|
Not again
Mouse seems to be eyeing me & the camera with a cynical look that asks, "Again?" |
|
|
|
Puppies are delicious
This week, the pups have been learning the meaning of NO - reinforced gently by the older dogs giving them good closeups of their tonsils |
|
|
|
Talk to the Paw
When not giving tonsil closeups, Mouse gets some instruction from Rain: "Talk to the paw!" |
|
|
|
Wild child!
Coal has a wild moment attacking Bee's hind legs |
|
|
|
|
|
Sleeping is GOOD!
Solo, out like a light! All the pups play hard but sleep equally hard, for which we are grateful. |
