He is very handsome, don’t you think?
Beautiful UP Morning
We got a little snow overnight and it made for a beautiful morning.
Cutie Pies
The pups are just fantastic. Four weeks old and I’ve had them out of the puppy room several times the past few days. It works out great that they go into the kitchen exploring while I scrub the room. I really don’t remember so much poop before! Wow. They are getting better at using the paper to go on, but they still wrestle and play and end up getting poop everywhere! Toys must be washed and disinfected everyday. Blankets, towels, etc., too. It’s just the stage. They will get better over the next week or so.
Puppy Play Time
The pups are now three weeks old. Wow. They seem to change and of course, grow everyday. They are quickly out-growing the whelping box. I’ve had them out a few times and they love to explore the puppy room. I have to get a few things in order and then I will be able to let them come and go from the box and into the rest of the room.
I don’t seem to have much focus today. There are a million things spinning in my head–ideas, projects, inventions–but I can’t seem to focus on just one. So, here are some random photos from our wee little corner of the world.
Addison (Shay x Brier)
I loved this shot of Addie.
She is so agile.
And beautiful.
And an amazing bird dog, in case I haven’t mentioned it.
And she was bred to Steele.
So, we are expecting a fantastic litter in March.
Are you ready, girl?
It was a busy few days of preparations getting everything ready for Raini (now Rosie) to make the journey to her new home. Got the crate (which does not always prove to be so easy depending on where in the world you live), decided that crate was too small (her head just touched the top of the inside while sitting and that’s great in my opinion, but not in the airline’s), so went around the world to find a larger one, found my new veterinarian (I think, but I don’t ever think I’ll find one I trust as much as Dr. Fulcomer in PA) to get the health certificate, all paperwork ready, crate pad, food, rescheduled the flight because the temperatures were too cold. Finally the big day arrived!
Thought I better start trying to catch up and post some of the photos sent in by folks of their LML pups. I’ll be posting many over the next few weeks. 
This is Dutch (litter name, Elias, out of Lady Bird x Ike. Whelped 5/20/2011):
Dutch is owned by Nick Schilling of PA. Nick also reports Dutch is doing very well.
