65 Days (9 Weeks, 2 days)...

Siena will be going home today with Shirley May. Shirley is so excited and is due here this morning. She is bringing James Brown and Onyx and a couple new Dal lovers to visit. I think it will be a picnic and circus combo in my front yard today. :) Fun for spots and people alike. :)

I have been taking a few more photos, but have not had time to post them. I will take more today.

In the meantime here is a fun review from Gracey's mom... I was ROFLOL with tears in my eyes! Welcome to my world Gaylynn... but be glad you only have one little baby devil! ;)

Maybe I should not have posted this story until the others pick up their puppies... hmmmm.... what do you think?

"Hi Julia,

Tomorrow will be one week having the little tasmanian devil home. Lol  Oh boy…Lilly and I strapped our seatbelts on and we’re hanging on for one wild and fun ride with Gracey. We’re dodging needle shark tooth attacks right and left. Let’s see….she thinks she needs to rearrange the bathroom this time by trying to yank down the shower curtain. She thinks she a big helper when it comes to my tennis shoes…I tie my shoelaces and she pulls them right back out. I pick up around the house and she’s right there trying to pull things out of my hands. I bought a little bowl set for her to eat and drink out of but she thinks she needs to stand on her back legs and reach up to Lilly’s bowl. I looked around once to a funny sight…Lilly is drinking water out of the little bowl and Gracey is stretching her pretty little self to drink out of Lilly’s bowl. I said “Gracey what are you doing?” She looks at me as if to say “what’s the problem, I’m a big girl”. Lol Boy she has so much character! She cracks me up. Then there’s all kinds of shenanigans outside! The zoomies kick in when her little paws hit the grass…she’s off and running and she conveniently forgets her name when I call her! She’s too busy pulling up chunks of grass, chasing Lilly, running and hiding in the flower bushes, trying to budge a big rock, pulling branches off the big palm tree. And then there’s me, running around like a zombie, saying Gracey LOU, Gracey LOU, Gracey LOU….get that out of your mouth, come here, what are you doing….LOL Lilly just sits back and watches the circus. After all that energy is worked out of her, then the little sweet angel, full of love and kisses emerges and we all take a nap until the next round of fun. Life is good and God is great!! We are so blessed!! I love that little stinker. I’ll probably go back to work on Monday and scare everyone by my haggard look. I’ll remind them that’s what happens with a new baby in the house!

God bless you, your mom and all your fur-babies!! Have a great weekend!!

XO Gaylynn, Lilly & Gracey (sweet), Gracey Lou (ornery)"

62 Days...

I have been bad about updating the blog. It will wind down now, but will update for a bit yet.

Gracey or Gracey Lou has gone to her new home with Gaylynn Boice. What a nice lady! She will be greatly loved and well taken care of. Lucky pup and lucky new puppy Mom, Gracey is a gem of a pup. Gracey will be going to socialization classes and puppy obedience as soon as it is "safer" for her with a couple more vaccinations under her belt. Gracey will be a loving companion as well as a Therapy Dog! I look forward to hearing more about Gracey and Gaylynn's adventures. :)

58 Days Old...

Imagine this...
Zombie human puppy momma. Coffee in one hand, barefoot, robe, running after pups, getting pulled by robe on one side and sweat pants getting pulled and ankles getting bit on the other side by spotted little devils. Wish I could draw cartoons! I can see it... I lived it this morning... too funny!
Good thing they are so darn cute and so sweet (most of the time), these little devil outbursts are quite funny, although the sharp teeth do hurt. They quit pretty good when I yelp. They DO love me... they just want to eat me at times... ha ha.

Today started just as a hint of the sun was coming up in the East. Quite pretty orange on the horizon. If I did not have puppies, just think of all I would be missing. Thank you God for the sunrise this morning and for puppies. :)

Today another busy day... work, puppy packet, new plastic sheeting on the floor for the puppy pen... they kind of destroyed the old one. I knew it would happen, but they have been so very good! Other litters would have destroyed it weeks ago. I let these guys run outside ALOT so they are pretty good when in their pen. A good puppy is a well exercised puppy. That and a full tummy. :)

The first puppy will go to her new home tomorrow. It will be bittersweet to see her go. Gracey, or Gracey Lou as I have been calling her sometimes, will be missed but will be so loved!

8 Weeks Yesterday! 57 Days Old Today...

Mom was way too busy yesterday to post our 8 week photos, but she DID take our photos, took us to the vet for our first puppy shot, and we got a microchip! The vet really liked us and said what a nice litter! We are not sure what that means but we were a big hit and all were smiilng at us. Black Girl 3 weighed 9 pounds.

55 Days...

I forgot to mention that after we got home from their hearing test yesterday... they all went deaf!!! As they were running around the yard, not a single one heard me calling them! Puppy, puppy, puppy... Cookies... Cookies! Babies!!! BABIES!!! They are now WORLD TRAVELERS (they think)... la te da! And do NOT have to listen to their human mommy anymore... what little STINKS!!!!  lol...
I finally went into the house and got their food pan, and drummed my fingernails on it... that got them RUNNING to me fast! Grrr.... buggars! They make me laugh... thank goodness.

Pups and I were up early this morning and they enjoyed running in the yard while I drink coffee and try to wake up... oh and a bagel... had to give up on the no carb diet for now... it was killing me! :) probably because I had to break it a couple times... but feeling much better now. I was really exhausted and feeling poorly for a few days. I even had to put on sweat bottoms this morning as it was a bit chilly! Really! :)

Not much to report to day... I have lots of work to get done. They holler when they need to go potty. Some hold it and some go on the papers, but all are pooping outside or Figgy is getting the evidence still...
I take them out early morning, mid morning, noon, mid afternoon, and evening and before bed... they should be in good shape and usually sleep all night! It's one of the big dogs that get me up! Usually Newt lately. Turkey...

Tomorrow they are 8 WEEKS old!

53 Days & 54 Days...

Yesterday was a BUSY day... puppoe had their first long road trip to OSU for BAER (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response) hearing testing! I had to get up at 4:00 a.m. (well that's when the alarm went off), to make a 9:30 appointment. A throw-up in a crate and some pottying on the  newspaper, but no poop on the trip! YES! There was some hollering going on for the first hour and a half! YES... and hour and half! poor babies did not want to "go" in their crate! but I could not stop. I had paper in there and a blanket and just kept telling them... go on the paper! LOL.

When we arrived I set up the x-pen and Sergeant pooped and everyone peed. I changed their bedding, picked up the poo. Loaded them all in a crate on wheels and inside we went. They were SO good! They were not scared at all. Friendly, tail waggin, curiosity about all the hub bub at the Vet School. One guy there had hunting dogs and he said those are some nice looking pups several times. He said either bird dogs or Dalmatians. :) I said they can be both, but generally want to keep their catch for themselves. LOL

I did get a few pictures of them waiting for their appointment. Dalmatians get quite a bit of attention as you can imagine. And yes I got the question, are those Dalmatians? They are BROWN! LOL. Well, you know we will miss it the day they become so recognizable that ALL have seen a Liver Dalmatian. It can be annoying how often we hear it now, but... you KNOW that you will miss it... admit it! :)

Happily waiting and watching...

Afterward... they are all sacked out!



52 Days...

Well it FINALLY happened! I MOVED the pups back to the dog room this afternoon. Yea! I have my Dining Room back and all clean and mopped and smelling fresh. Awww.... so nice. Puppies are so sweet but no matter how clean you keep things they still get a bit smelly, and newsprint itself bothers my allergies. Next baths! I think they will still fit in the kitchen sink and I have the sprayer... so this will hopefully save my back, but not a bit of a mess! Ha ha....
