We had a houseful of guests yesterday, so pics are posted today. The weekend has been wonderful as our son, his wife and our new grand-daughter came up to visit from Pennsylvania. We celebrated her arrival, my son's birthday and paid tribute to all our veterans and present patriots in celebration of Memorial Day. It was a fun day of family and friends.
Mommy Olive has been doing very well and spends a lot of time away from the pups now. She is still an attentive mother but also enjoys having some 'personal space'. She is looking very well and her coat is shiny and gorgeous. I gave her a bath last night and combed her out this morning. I am always amazed at how easy her coat is to groom. It is so nice to have several doodles with different coats, it makes me appreciate the ease of Olive's quality wavy fleece.
On to the babies which have grown and fattened. Their eyes have been open since Friday and they squeal, squirm, roll and shuffle to get hither and dither. They argue about nipples and eat heartily. I love their head shapes and their coats are the most consistent of any litter produced here at Annabelle Doodles. :+) Soon, I will be introducing them to gruel and help Olive out a bit.
In memory of Memorial Day, I have donned each of them with a patriotic ribbon.
Green Girl weighs 1 lb. 14 oz. and is a Caramel. Her coat is a delicious deep apricot and her nose pigment will be liver.
Red Girl is my pick to become a guardian home placement (at least at this time!). She is on the small side and weighs 1 lb. 4 oz.
Black Boy is so soft, so shiny and amazingly silky. His coat will be just like his mom's. :+) He also weighs 1 lb. 14 oz.
Teal Boy has wonderful color - a true warm apricot. He has black pigment and weighs 2 solid pounds.
Lavender Girl is a clone of her mom as well. She is a hefty one at 2 lbs.
Another Caramel, Navy Boy weighs 1 lb. 13 oz. His coat is extremely silky. You can how much it glistens in this pic.
Oh, how we cannot wait to meet them! These pictures just made my morning. It is amazing how much they change in a week - just gorgeous! And, tell Miss Olive, that she bounced back a lot quicker than I did after my first:-) She looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI tell Olive she is beautiful every day! :+)
