Nice To Meet You Santa . . .

Fun day for the Sweat Peas - Santa came to visit! Although the Peas' eyes are starting to open and they have started to toddle on all fours, they pretty much slept thru the entire Santa experience. Well, pretty much what you'd expect from two week old pups.

Christmas Carols!!

The Sweet Peas sang a little holiday tune this morning . . . sounds a little like Jingle Bells to me!!

Sweet Peas - The Video

Got a new HD Flip Video camera. Oh, boy! The "Peas" are the perfect test subjects with their sweet squeaks and belly crawls.

Sweet Peas At One Week

Omeeka and pups are doing great. Got down to some serious breeder caretaking today - trimming puppy nails and one week pictures. Here they are!

The Kids Are Alright

Omeeka and the Sweet "Peas" are doing great. All of the pups are nursing well and gaining weight. This litter is a very quiet and calm group of yellow velvet puppies! Neon Green and Orange are the biggest and littlest respectively. Omeeka has started to leave the pups for short periods of time, even jumping into the freezing swimming pool to retrieve an errant tennis ball. After much drying and fluffing, she was ready to rejoin the pups in the whelping pool. Note to self: check the pool every day for anything "retrievable" . . .

The Sweet "Peas" Have Arrived

The Sweet "Pea" litter arrived right on schedule, Tuesday November 30, 2010. Mama Omeeka and her nine lab / golden cross puppies are doing great!

There are 6 boys (red, blue, purple, neon green, turquoise and orange); there are 3 girls (neon pink, brown, and dark green). Pups range in size from smallest little boy 10 3/4 ounces to jumbo size boy 17 1/4 ounces.

10 ish

Looks like another big litter for Omeeka with 10 puppies visible on the x-ray. Hopefully, there weren't any hiding from the x-ray machine! Poor little O is pretty miserable - her big belly is really weighing her down. She can't wait till the babies are here!
