They have it made, and it is so much fun.... I really like this little litter. The pups get sooooo much individual attention!!!!! I love puppy breath!!!
They each have their own little personality.... Fred, wants to be held. He is so hilarious. He walks toward you, when he notices you there, and cries... to "PICK ME UP!!!!!". And I hold him, or Bill holds him, he wraps his arms around our forearm, or snuggles against our necks. One morning I was a little pushed for time, (every morning, it feels like!!), and he kept wanting to be held!!! I finally couldn't stand it, and handed him off to Amanda, our helper for our dogs!! She had to hold him..... Cuz he was crying.... Yes, I spoil them, as much as I can....
And... sorry about the little bits of baby cereal on them... had some good shots, and didn't want to wreck the moment!!

Sue, Bamm Bamm IS catching up!!! I spent the afternoon with a great resource and mentor, and discussed Bamm Bamm with him. He assured me, she will be OK!!! And that makes my heart sing!!
And tears fall, because, I love this little girl. I just do.

and... Bamm Bamm!!! She is small, but as active, and as loud, as the other 2. I think maybe the stress testing, (biosensor), that Jim and John posted about in one of the other threads.... helped her. And I thank both of you. I love learning here, with you all. And thank you for helping make our babies stronger.
napping.... Wilma and Bill!!
Wilma is a natural show girl....
My fat boy, Fred... .. Fred was born with a white line down his nose.... you can see a little of it, and if you look at the first pic, it's pretty obvious. It is fading really fast. Kinda cool to watch. The camera, with the lights make it very clear.
Here, about a week ago... very obvious... (hate that!), but love kissing his nose! UUMmmmmmmm!! Puppy breath... the essence of life..
Enjoy, we do.....

Fred has such a funny expresion on his face. HA! What charaters they must be. "When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." - John Muir Cathy Walker Nova Scotia, Canada Thoroughbred Race Horses Dog Grooming
Thanks Joni!! She is incredibly cute... OMG, I hate tube feeding. When they are little, it is easy, (but still very scary) I did try bottle feeding, per the vet's suggestion, but she was aspirating, I could hear it. And then, as she got bigger, it became a battle, The last time, I tube fed her, she must have coughed, or something, because we could hear the fluid, in her throat/or lungs.. She was on clavomox, and a probiotic, so she cleared within a few hours... But, by then she was starting to have a strong enuf suck, and was starting to gain wt..... just with nursing. I have a postal scale, with a little plastic basket... And weighed her, every time. Before and after. She is catching up.... slowly.
But, thank you, we think she is pretty darn cute, too!!!
I started baby cereal and goat milk, pretty early, because of her. It took about 4 days, for them to really catch on, but she would suck it off my fingers...
Thank you all, for looking and commenting. I'm glad you like 'em.. What is irritating to me, is that Bill took some of these pictures, and he got the better pics!! LOL!!! I'm trying to learn, and practice all the time. He picks up my new, complicated camera, and gets good, clear pics!!!

still smaller than the rest!!! But, OMG!!! she is healthy!!! Loves raw!!! And this girl... is very protective already, it's hilarious.... this day of the pics, I walked into the room, and Bill was holding BB... playing, snuggling, and she heard me, her head picked up, she started growling, and barking, this little tiny yippy bark, but, all mastino!!! I love it!!!
my sweet baby girl.... it was worth every moment of worry and care. She is incredible.
and....... the BB girlie, all knocked out!!
Fred... he is like a little tank!! huge head, blocklike, and his body is WIDE!!! and he has a great topline, and rectangular shape, already... and ... Fred is a crybaby... he WANTS TO BE HELD, NOW, PLEASE!!!!!!!!
yes, it's true, part of our puppy training is reading bedtime stories to the babies from Dr Allen's book. And we show them pictures, of how they need to look, and of course, hide the pics of the BAD dogs!!! Positive reinforcement, that is what it is all about!!! Right??
Bill was trying to make an important point..... and Fred wanted to taste his finger...
Fred, the tank...laying amidst a kibble mess!!!
And, last but not least.... Wilma, and momma...
So, saying nightie night!!! Up early in the am!!!
