Sedate Puppies?: Gallery Added

Now that I got your attention, I washed the pups today and I sort of felt like the pups were dead. They were so laid back, no shaking, relaxed as ever. I did the mostly white one and said okay, its just her then the boy and then the girl and all 3 were like that. The boy didn't like being strung up in the air for photos but even that reaction wasn't much.

Photos coming but wow... best crew for baths yet!

Click on Photo for Larger ViewOh Miss so you want to take a photo expression. hehe

Click on Photo for Larger ViewDid she react - no. Did she like the dryers - sure. Nothing bothered her and she liked the rubbing to get her dry with my hands. Tub, no problem, sudsy water no problem, drying with towel, no problem.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewHe also had absolutely no issues with the bath, the dryers, the towel rubbing, the brush etc. Holding him up in the air wasn't his fave thing but he didn't complain. He just scrunched up his neck. That's how I could tell he would rather be in my arms or on the floor.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewShe loved the entire experience.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewOh my gad aren't they wonderful. We even had them out with the dogs yesterday and got a video and today they were out again (no video) and they are wonderful with the bigger guys. Logan is great with the pups.

Here's the gallery.

I must comment that Nathan is almost as entertaining as the pups, lol. Just wonderful, so very sweet and innocent puppies, each and every one. The bigger dogs were so gentle with them.

The littlest girl is just too precious in that bath photo. Because she is so black we don't usually see as much of her face but in the close ups you can see her sweet expressions

These puppies are just gorgeous. I love how the colours are peeking through, I am sure they will all be stunning when full grown. Wish I was on the list for one. Are you still using Pure Paws for bathing?

September 25, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMarilyne

No, I am actually using NATURES SPECIALTIES COLLOIDAL OATMEAL SHAMPOO and Rinse. It cleans really nice. It's soothing and doesn't have the scents etc. I actually like most of their products that I have tried. I get it from Deboers.

My heart missed a beat reading your earlier title,,,,phew...the puppies are so gorgeous and sounds like they have a lovely calm temperament... is that from Jeannie? We are so excited about tomorrow.....see you soon

I think its a mix of Jeannie and Phantom. Phantom is very laid back. But I am still boggled at how well they did with it. I have had some play and do great but they were relaxed like they were limp but tails up. I have to laugh.

These pups are so beautiful, their forever families will be so excited to see them.

September 26, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKathy & Kona

Think so too. I just love them!
