Oh my!  What a lot of barking from the pink girl.  She is challenging the older dogs who are in their crates.  Green boy decides it is more fun to chew on a toy and Purple can’t be bothered when there is a good tasting chew.

The threesome are 6 1/2 weeks old.  They had their first baths.  They did surprisingly well.  The hair dryer experience was met with skepticism.  The clippers and scissors affected each puppy differently.

The Pink Girl was a bit stressed out with the grooming experience. I expected she might object, but she sat very still. She was exhausted afterwards, but is ready to go now.

The grooming didn't bother Mr. Green at all. But grooming him was like grooming a moving target!

Purple Girl was a bit squirmy, but not too bad. She would not pose for a picture, so my husband held her so I could get a photo.

rose-christmas-2016_2Rose (owner’s Jerry and Troy) is anxiously awaiting Christmas–perhaps a new toy and some treats in her stocking–because Rose has already checked out the box.  Hmmm, Tiffany & Co. not a bad box to be looking for something from Santa!!  Merry Christmas Rose.

Since all three 5 week old puppies attempted to climb out of their big box, they have been moved to a larger and more secure enclosure.  Sunny loves to entertain them from outside their pen.  (She also tries to steal their toys.)

Here is a better picture of Pink Girl.  She already has definite ideas of her own.

Our boy is pretty brave.  Yesterday he spent some time away from his littermates... that didn't bother him a bit.

Purple Girl is just a little smaller than her siblings.  She is sweet and agreeable and cuter than this picture shows.

People have asked why there are not more pictures of the Pink Girl.  I have had difficulty getting a good picture.  Either she is not photogenic, or possibly it’s because she won’t hold still long enough to take a picture.  Here’s our best effort.

Pink at 4.5 weeks old.  (I can see I need to trim some more hair from around her eyes!)

She doesn't stand still very often, but something caught her eye in the back yard. Sunny is just over 8 months old. She is fully of energy and is a happy, happy girl.

"Sunny, look this way." She loves to go to Karen's because she can play with her "boyfriend" Buzz.

“Sunny, look at the camera.”
