PUPPY PARTY

Friends from work came over in the afternoon yesterday to celebrate Peg and also Puppies. You won't know what that means but that's okay. I made a cheese fondue from scratch. Something I hadn't attempted in years and surprisingly we were able to eat it! Here are some photos of all of us. When we played with the puppies in the kitchen, all the other dogs had to be outside on the deck. We had a great time.

THE GIRLS ASLEEP BY THE FIREPLACE

They have been so easy. Here they are just after a eating. Conked out by a crackling fire.

JAMAICA & BERINGER GIRLS 4 WEEKS

Here are the girls at 4 weeks plus a couple of days. They are now eating the "gruel" that I make up for them. This morning they rolled in it so they also experienced a little quick spot wash at the kitchen sink. They are still nursing too. They are consistently going to the litter to pee and poop....yeah. Both are very smart little girls. They both wag their tails and are happy to see you. They don't seem to care about the vacuum cleaner either. The other dogs are really curious. Beringer is curious too but I don't think he gets the facts of life. All is well.

Jamaica and Beringer Girls 3 weeks 3 days

The girls are 3 weeks and 3 days old today. Madeleine is on the right in the first three photos, then it's Emily and then Madeleine and Emily in the last photo. They are still in the whelping box but I'll me moving them into a half bed and half litter arrangement soon.

THE GIRLS

Madeleine and Emily are doing well. Their eyes started to open today (14 days old). The pigment on their noses is coming in well and it looks like they will have the halos around their eyes. 


They are starting to pull themselves up on their little legs but mostly crawl and can really scoot around quickly. In the photo to the right, it is Emily on the left and Madeleine on the right. 


In the photo below, it is the same. Then, its Madeleine at the bottom in the next photo, and the last photo is of Emily.


Pretty soon we'll get to see their personalities emerge. 

So far, they are very quiet and not at all fussy. It's been wonderful to watch Jamaica be a mom. She's so gentle and attentive.

BERINGER AND JAMAICA HAVE TWO GIRLS

Sugar Bay's Beringer and Sugar Bay's Jamaica had two beautiful little girls in the early hours of the morning on Feb. 15th. We thought it would happen onValentine's day and we were really close. Only an hour and 45 min late! They are scooting around, eating and gaining weight as they should. Jamaica was so wonderful during the delivery. She is the most delightful sweet mum. Beringer doesn't have a clue, just hanging out like he normally does. So all is well here at our house.
