Oh, the joys of a new toy that has to be shared! Tate and Coco

First, they shared.
Loved the ears flopping in the wind as they raced together.  :+)
Then the wrestling started to see who would win the prize!
Looks like Tate MIGHT have the upper hand here.  But.......
Oh my gosh!  Grammy Annabelle has taken care of the argument.  It is hers!!!  So much like children.  :+)

Tate checks out the pool as Coco entertains Olives pups.

Ever inquisitive, Tate checks out the pool I just put water in.
Needs to see for herself what is in there.
Looks like her toes are going to get wet!!!  :+)
In the meantime, Coco enjoys chatting with her cousins.
It appears Coco enjoys sunbathing rather than swimming.
Her cousins think she is quite charming.  I agree.  :+)

Posted by PicasaThis is Miss Eloise Moppet and one of her guardians.  Please excuse her dampened hairdue, as I had just spritzed her head after a slight trim.  Eloise is under 9 lbs.  She is a foot tall and 14 inches long.  This is a tiny American Labradoodle!   Her color, like most reds, has diluted to a pale apricot.  It is still soft and lovely and they keep her in wonderful shape.  Thank you ladies!!
At this time, I am still researching and keeping a file on possible studs.  She is so adorable and I am sure there is a 'micro' Labradoodle stud out there SOMEWHERE!
Eloise stands like this naturally.  She is wonderfully proportioned.  She would be right at home in a show ring!  If she has babies, it will be my very first line of Micro Mini Labradoodles.  Very exciting possibility!

Yep, she rules supreme.  :+)

Clara's puppies go home to their families!

Miss Coco is on her way home as I type.  There is an anxious family waiting for her arrival!
This family was away during normal pick up weekend but Coco is such a sweet pup, she was no trouble at all.
The Kingston family picked up Winston (Green Boy) and are already in love with their big boy!
Winston will really fit in with this active, involved and social family.  :+)
Finally, Tate has left for her home with Elizabeth, her guardian.  Tate will hopefully
become great friends with the resident Siamese, Trina.  :+)
Miss Dixie (Orange Girl) is home with the Gilbert Family.  Thank you Nancy for sending this great pic!
Cheddar (Blue Boy), has met his new owners and they are all smiles.  Cheddar is a rugged guy and will totally enjoy playing, hiking, balls and all the activities a family will offer. 
He will certainly make them laugh and give them plenty of exercise.

Week Six: Olive's litter has an adventurous week!

During the day, I would let the pups out of their pen to play in the open space.
They loved this 'unstuffed' toy.
Early in the morning, I bleached the 'outside nursery' area and rinsed it.
In the early afternoon, the pups explored all the nooks and crannies with their cousins watching.
There were little balls....
and BIG balls to play with.
A ramp to climb and say 'hello' was of great interest.
Pink enjoyed the feeling of the stones and leaves under her paws.
Lots of chasing and scrambling went on.
Naturally, Black Boy had to learn all about the Lil Tykes slide.
Posted by PicasaNow that the weather has broken a bit, the pups will spend most of the day enjoying the outdoors in this pen.  They had a ball today and did not want to come in.  My husband has installed some shades to keep the pup room cooler when the heat really comes and the air conditioner is already hooked up.  Between the shades, A/C and an overhead fan, these pups should be in good shape.

Of course, we also have their little Tubby Pool for splashing and cooling off.  What lucky pups!!

Olive's babies - Head pics at 6 weeks old.

Red Girl is Black Boy's sidekick.  They wrestle and have so much fun together.  (6 1/4 lbs.)
Black Boy.  I call him 'Jack in the Box'.  He is the most social and is always initiating playtime.  (6 1/2 lbs.)
Pink Girl is still the heavyweight at 8 lbs.   She also seems to be quite mellow at this stage.
Teal Girl at  6 3/4 lbs. Yes she DOES have eyes and they were plenty open as she tried to chew my shoe!

Clara's litter is 10 weeks old and begin leaving tomorrow.

Cheddar/Blue (14 1/4 lbs.) - loves to be outdoors investigating his world.  Everything is interesting.
Winston/Green (15 1/2 lbs.)  is a whirlwind!  He is so going to enjoy being the social butterfly.
Tate/Purple (10 1/2 lbs.)  wanted to take the leash and go for a walk by herself!
Dixie/Orange (12 lbs.) - Aren't those eyebrows hysterical???
Coco/Yellow (11 3/4 lbs.) -  A perfect pup for young children.  Coco is gentle and compliant.
