Some puppy portraits! Lyric's pups are 5.5 weeks old Updated pics!!

[Ginny Nightingale]

Hi all--the pups have been keeping me very busy and no time for blogging! I have had a LOT of company as everyone wants to come see the puppies now that they have reached that cute as a button stage--and of course, the socializing is great for them. Also my son has come home for Spring break so I want to spend some time with him too!

But I have some new pics that were taken by me and by a new friend--some of you may know Madeline who owned Mowgli, a giant GD that was an awesome therapy dog and a model for the Hollister stores---the poor guy died suddenly from Lymphoma at the age of 7 and Maddie and her family are just devastated....she and her husband drove 3 hours the other day to meet my dogs and pups as she MIGHT purchase one of our babies one of these days--she needs some more time to heal but she enjoyed her time with the puppies, especially one that looked like Mowgli as a baby--and Rio was a big hit too--especially when he jumped right up on Maddie's husband's lap and made himself at home--my dogs are not very well trained..

Here are some pics Maddie and a few of my "special girl" Penny with the Easter bunny...future momma doodle maybe?? Hopefully she will find a great guardian home, as 4 dogs are 1 too many for me!!

This first pup is our big boy Copper who looks just like Mowgli did, but won't be 100 pounds as an adult--I hope!!

UPDATE: Here are the the curly girl and the Champagne boys (the "party boys") The curly girl (Peaches) will be headed to Italy as a possible addition to the therapy program for autistic kids--this is the second of Lyric's pups to go there and they love the first one! I already added the Party boy pics, but as a comment and maybe no one knew they were added...

Also, Penny, shown with the bunny below,  will now be known as Tango Wool's Sweet Nightingale and her call name is Tweety! I got my name in there as a co-owner! 

This is little Lucky, the 7th pup born--he is small and very sweet.

This is Saffron, a very petite female!

Lucky again...and then 3 of Penny...isn't she something? The spitting image of her mom, actually.

Lyric has not changed much in personality (this is her third litter)but the bond between us and the communication level we have is extraordinary--we work as a team and she has matured so much and has learned to tell me what she needs (usually food!) and I have learned to follow her signals better--for example, she was really hesitating when she was in labor--wouldn't get in the whelping box, wouldn't settle down and push-- and this was going on for 24 hours--longer than usual--lots of panting, nothing else. So at 2 am, I sat down in the box and said "OK Lyric, let's get this going--it is time..." 5 minutes later, her water broke and the first pup was born within a few minutes"--That is interspecies communication!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Love the boys. I want to come and get Nemo :)

[Lonnie & Libby Lu]

The look Nemo is giving is "priceless"!

[Lonnie & Libby Lu]

Ginny, they are the cutest and I know this sounds crazy, but they look like boys, "party boys" at that:)

[Heather & Daisy]

Ok NM I read yer profile and wow you must be pro's at the puppy thing!!!

[Heather & Daisy]

Omgoodness what a sweet bunch! I wish now Daisy had pups. Have you noticed it changing Lyric at all ? Is she more cuddly than b4 she was pregnant? Someone once told me that a dog that has pups sometimes become less "hyper" as a result of pregnancy. What an interesting, fun experience it must be up have a group of babes in the house :) is this her first litter ?? (I should have re-read ur profile I am sorry)

[DJ & Chance]

Oh I love all of them.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]
