We had to wait till morning! (3 weeks/2days old)

Here is Annabelle nursing her 'adopted' boys and Maple Sugar. I had to wait till early this morning for their move.


After fussing for a bit, they decided it was not so bad and began exploring.

Kissing cousins! Maple and Black Boy.

'Look at all our new toys! I think we are going to like it here.' (Green Boy is the darker cream and Black Boy is the smaller, lighter cream on the left. Blue Boy stands out like a sore thumb with his jet black coat!

We moved at 3 weeks/2 days old!

Mommy Harriet and all the girls moved to the puppy room last night and settled in nicely.


A close up of a girly cuddle with Flower Girl and Red Girl.


Harriet is outside the pool kind of 'keeping her eye out'.

Maple Sugar is a brute!

Affectionately called 'Mae' by her Guardians, Maple Sugar continues to dominate the weight scale at 3.8 lbs. Although two days younger than her cousins, Annabelle's genetics seem to be ruling. Mae also has some interesting markings as I see a patch of white right at the tip of her nose as well as her head, chest, toes and tail! Many of Annabelle's markings blended away except for her chest. I hope Mae's will remain.

She will have a combination coat like Annabelle that is soft, with loopy curls.

'Mugs' at almost three weeks - pics.

I believe Multi Girl is sporting a fleece coat at this time and with her white goatee and tipped white back paws, will be adorable. She is one of the smaller ones at this time weighing 2.8 lbs. I love her petiteness.



Orange Girl, and the only chocolate in the group, has everyone wanting her! Isn't it always the way?? My last litter, the chocolates were the last to sell - go figure. But this little girl will remain in our breeding program. We are looking for the perfect guardian home (local) for her. She appears to be a solid girl at 3 lbs., but I have been fooled before!
Update: We have the Millett Family of Eliot, Me. as the new guardians of Cadbury! Congrats!!


This boy is a handful - literally. Green Boy is 3.5 pounds of 'meaty'! As is typical, he is bigger boned, has a large head and is all around - male! A soft combo coat is my thought right now.


Blue Boy is not too far behind Green in the weight department - 3.1 lbs. Another solidly built pup. I believe he will have a lovely fleece-type coat. Let's hope I am right!


Black Boy is my 'Tiki Barber' of the males..... small but mighty! He is 2.11 lbs, but holds his own with the 'big guys'. A curly combo coat is my prediction.

'Mugs' at almost three weeks!

This is Red Girl at 2.10 lbs.. When I left a bowl of food in the whelping box for Harriet, her head was in there lapping it up like a champ! She will have a combo wool/fleece coat of curls like her parents.


Pink Girl has been 'hoarding' the milk bar! She is a whooping 3.4 lbs! She has a touch of white under her chinny-chin-chin and I expect her to be mostly fleece coated with curls.


Here is Flower Girl. :+) She is right in the middle with regard to weight at 2.10 lbs. She will have a combo coat too just like Red Girl. A rather dainty little lady. :+)


One of the smaller girls at this time, Purple Girl sports a white 'goatee' and a touch of white on her back paws. I think she will have loose curls - subject to change!!! :+)


Look at this head! Yellow Girl favors her grandma, Annabelle. She has a wide 'labbish type' head and is rather brawny at 2.14 lbs. Of course, they are still babies and bones are still melding.

....and the party continues.

Just way too many girls, we are beat!! :+)

We are celebrating our Second Week Birthday!

We are all here, but some of us are buried!

Hey! What's going on below???

Can I climb this big, green mountain?

Ah, it is a more peaceful party without those brothers!!!

Ya, let's take a nap, we are beat from all that 'partying'!
(Check the next post for what the boys are up to.)
