Baths Today
This is Cinnamon's 1st born. She was amazingly agile in the bath. LOL She was a good girl. While I was drying her she would play and snuggle with me. She has a way of making you feel the world is okay!
This is Cinnamon's black and white gal. She is the most even keel dog. She has a wonderful personality and I bet this one will be a swimmer. You get to see how they interact with the water and she brought smiles.
This is short line gal. That is what I nicknamed her as she looks a lot like long line gal. She really thought this was a spa experience. A gal after my own heart. Love her nature. Where's my massage?
This is the littlest boy who is still small but no longer little. He is adorable and has a grand personality. There is not a shabby one in any of the litters. Some like Spirits is highly spirited. Others laidback and others midstream. He is a midstream boy who is highly loving!
This is long line gal. When looking at these photos you can see the difference between long line and short line but as they are running and playing, it's tough. They also have very similar personalities. She has a very pretty face imho. I so love her!
This is the brindle boy and I will tell you he wasn't crazy about the experience. You can see it on his face. He has such a face that he wears his emotions on them. No wondering what he is thinking. He is highly lovable and wasn't bad about the bath but if he had his choice play or hugs would be much better! His colouring is going to be might interesting as an adult.
I couldn't find her dry photos but they must be there. This gallery was so messed up as we used 2 cameras and the numbers were off so none was in order. This is a gal that is small and not talked about as much as she should be as she is a little star. She truly is!
I spent over 4 hours between washing, photos, drying, pads, clip around bum etc. I was truly toast by the end. Nathan was still resting today so he can be all he can be tomorrow.
Our son and daughter-in-law in Las Vegas sent Chinese to us for dinner. It was so nice. They knew I was doing pups, blogs and Nathan had to rest. It was Nathan's faves that were ordered. Not mine. LOL But I didn't have to cook. Our local Chinese place has gone through so many owners and each time, imho it has reduced its quality but even with that said - it was ever so welcomed. It made what I have on my plate much easier so deeply appreciated. It may be a gin and tonic night.
Pups are now playing like crazy upstairs. They feel wonderful! I am told by Dennis I need to declutter the kitchen from Nathan's stuff. If I must - tomorrow then Nathan will wonder where all his stuff has gone to. Maybe he will be too focused on pups and visitors to notice. shhh it's our secret. Yeah I am laughing!
Videos are coming as soon as I place this out in public, uploads will begin.

Cuteness overload.
You must be exhausted.
I remember looking through the galleries the day before our visit!
Oh my goodness, look at the adorable faces!!! <3
I am more so than usual due to nathan. No down time. Was going to declutter my kitchen but oh well - its 9pm and time tp clean the pen, feed pups, wash water bowls, make coffee to go off tomorrow, take dogs out...
You are Wonder Woman! Pablo thinks his siblings are perfect!
So wonderful to see the pic of the littlest boy and see how healthy he looks now. I remember those first few days when you weren't sure he would make it. Shows how all your hard work and love paid off !
I did always believe he would make it but I thought due to his small size he may be a challenge and he wasn't. We know how to feed pups every 2 hours. It is not fun but sometime necessary. It never was for him. He came out small and tired. He was never blue/sick etc. He was just tiny and tired from the birth experience. When moms have litters of size they are often crowded so a pup or two does not get as large as the rest. Some play catchup out of utero and some are challenges. He was tiny but mighty. He always had good suction. What was concerning was the competition so you have to make sure a tiny one gets their milkslot without another pushing them off. Luckily we do the no sleep and monitor the pups 24/7. It gives them a great start. He never missed a beat with Spirit then Sage then back to mom. I was glad we had other moms to help facilitate great growth. They had slots extra slots where Cinnamon had pups of a size that would have ate all the milk or pushed him out of the way. You could never tell he was the smallest of her litter. I am glad that I put him back with his mom. It would have been easier not to at first as it was always one of us protecting his milk station till he did it on his own. When you breed every now and then you have to accept that one is not compatible with life. It is those times you wonder - can I do this again and then you do. He was meant to be. He has such a genuine grand personality too.
