Molly's puppies are 5 weeks old now.




Talk about some difficult pictures to get!!! These little guys are 5 weeks old and running wild practically. There personalities are starting to develope and they are definatly into the soaked food now. Molly still comes in once a day for a suppliment but it's pretty much out of her hands now.
What do you think, pretty cute huh? The two girls are on the left and the boy is on the right.

Jade and Bart take to the yard!




It's all I can do to keep up with everyone around here and getting new pictures for all you viewers. The kids are doing very well though we have still not found a home for Bart as of yet... Jade is the darker of the two puppies and Bart is the lighter grizzle.
They have settled into there routine and established there relationships with the other dogs. We are all one big happy family. I would like to thank the guy upstairs for this continued wonderful weather we are experiencing here. According to the paper we receive 300 days of sunshine a year but don't tell anyone or everyone will want to move here.

Coco Update from the "Great White North!"


This is what Rebecca had to say about Coco...
Coco is doing great. She's definitely settled into the routine of our family and we love having her in our home. Now that she's had her latest vaccinations, she's enjoying going for walks and getting to know the neighbourhood. She gets very excited meeting new people and dogs, and has all kinds of funny noises to express herself. She's becoming pretty good at going to the back door to let us know when she needs to go out. Riley has learned to tolerate her, and sometimes she can even convince him to have a play time in the living room or around the yard. This is quite funny to watch, as it usually involves Riley barking and nudging and pawing at her, and Coco doing flips around the floor in front of him over and over.
Looks like Riley isn't such an independent Westie after all.... :- )

Molly's puppies go into there new home...




At the top is a picture of Molly's little boy, isn't he pretty cute! I tell you what getting him to pose was no easy task as he was eyeballing his Mother for dinner!
Down below you will see I was able to sneak up on the kids just waking up from a nap. It was time for dinner and as I have them eating soaked food they are not quite as wild about the dinner bell but they still get plenty of Molly time. It's just amazing how fast they grow up...

Hey... Look what I found!!!


Oh my... Look what I found when I came home from work. All the puppies out of the whelping box. I thought it was a coincidence when I found the little boy out of the box but it was not an accident with him riding out attached to Mom. After I re situated everyone back into the box I came back minutes later and the boy was back out!! Looks like we have some early adventurers. Everyone will be into the puppy pen in the next day or so when they build up there leg strength. I have also discovered teeth erupting while crawling around on the floor last night with the puppies so we will be starting on softened food as well. I know this will be a relieve for Molly as she has been wanting to rome the yard a little long at a time over the last few days.

Ella, Bella and her Fella!


We were happy to host visitors today! Ella Selfridge-Neumann her husband and well behaved Westie Bella came for a first visit to see Molly's puppy boy. Ella has trained Bella as a therapy dog and are looking for another Westie to add to there family while she is young enough to easily adapt to having a new little brother in the house.
Bella gladly went into the back yard to socialize with our other dogs and had a blast running the yard and getting our Westies to play and chase her.
The Neumann's are looking to train another therapy dog and who better this one of Molly's puppies. We had a wonderful visit while Ella explained a number of things I knew very little of about Addison's disease which Bella was diagnosed with early in life. Bella is just over two years old and full of herself like every self respecting Westie should be with a great personality! The stories Ella tells about her intelligence level are incredible. Who would ever of thought a Westie could reach the level of learning this 2 year old has.
The Newmann family will be back for a few more visits to socialize Bella and Molly's puppy boy to make the transition into there new home as simple and easy as possible.

Peek-a-Boo!


Cant help myself... I love puppies at this age. Starting to get curious but too young to get out of the box yet.
The two girls are upfront and the boy is in the back.
I had nothing to do with them coming to the front of the box. All I did was call them...
