Lyric hanging with the pups

[Ginny Nightingale]

We had a relaxed feeding session last night--Lyric is not usually one to dawdle and leaves the whelping room when the pups are fed--but I sat in there with her last night and there was a sweet half hour of eating and cuddle time before the pups nodded off-she is a much more relaxed momma this time around --got some cute pics....

What cute pictures. Lyric is a good mom.

What sweet pups and Lyric is a beautiful momma :)

They are all chill pills! They love to sleep and are so quiet! I sleep just down the hall from them and we leave the doors open so that Lyric can come rest with us and go in and out to feed them (that ends Wednesday when they move to the pen...) but I never hear a sound! Such good pups...

I gave them a bit of gruel (soaked and mashed puppy kibble plus water)  today--usually, they pick at it, sniff it and are generally not sure they want it--well, not these guys--they had a LOT of enthusiasm--I had to keep pulling the bigger ones out of the pan of food so others could get some! That's a first!

Such a good and gorgeous mom!

How's my Chill Pill doing?

Oh my they grow so fast!!  Puppy piles are so sweet. Ginny, Lyric is just beautiful!!

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Love the tail biter!!!

And, yes, they are growing up too fast--when Lyric came into the room today, a few almost got out of the whelping box by climbing up the side--looks like we are setting up the pen a few days early!

The pups "kissing" are actually biting each other--but no teeth yet, so no yelps of pain! The wavy redhead was firstborn--nickname Peaches--but for some reason, I keep calling her Frenchie--maybe because she reminds me of a French Poodle pup! Names just sort of come out of my mouth without much thought--I watched American Idol the other night and found out that i have that ONE thing in common with Nicki Minaj!
