Pepper At The Beach

So happy to hear from puppy raisers from the P litter. Pepper is such a cutie and her towel matches her cape, how cool is that!

Heads or Tails?

I got to visit with Omeeka's Half "N" Half litter today! They couldn't be cuter or sweeter pups. Some puppy raisers out there are going to be so happy with these little guys. I couldn't decide which is cuter, heads or tails?

Penelope and Pepper Check In

Penelope and Pepper met up at the SW graduation and sent this photo along to say hello to mama Omeeka and her friends following the blog. Aren't they so cute!!

No Longer Nameless But . . .

Names arrived via email from CCI this morning, but a word of caution, sometimes, the names get changed before the pup arrives at his / her puppy raiser home. That said, these are some fun names in collar color order :

Red Female Nicolina II (Yellow Puppy)

Blue Female Natasha IV (Yellow Puppy)

Purple Female Nala IV (Yellow Puppy)

Neon Green Male Noel V (Black Puppy)

Neon Pink Male Navajo IV (Yellow Puppy)

Brown Female Neela II (Yellow Puppy)

Light Pink Female Naomi VI (Black Puppy)

Turquoise Male Nifty II (Yellow Puppy)

Orange Male Nada II (Black Puppy)

Dark Green Male Novak III (Black Puppy)

Notice the Roman Numerals after the pup's name, not an original in the bunch! Great expectations for these kids to grow into.

Three Weeks Old, Still Nameless!

It was so fun to visit with Omeeka and her little "N"s. At three weeks old today, they are out of the whelping pool home and in an xpen enclosure indoors. Soon, they will have an even bigger home in the garage. I think they are very "advanced" for their age as evidenced by:

play behavior

exceptional cradling

exceptional acceptance of nail trimming

very friendly and curious

Their puppy raisers are going to be so lucky!

Next week, outdoor kennel and gruel, what could be better!

Week Two

We're Two Weeks Old!

The world is becoming a new and exciting place. Eyes are open, we're walking like drunken sailors, and we're getting soooo cute!

This is the week of 2's...2 weeks old, 2 eyes open, 2 lbs. and 2 tough.

Aunt Peggy and Rachel did such a wonderful job of caring for us while Mom was on vacation. We really miss them! Enjoy our pictures...
