Spring is finally here..

Nice change in the weather brought the sunshine on.. which made for the puppers first day outside!! The gang got to meet and great with Ralf (Dad) and Auntie Winnie (Old labbie dog) They even had some people visitors! Full day of excitement for them.


So in honor of the spring-ness in the air.. The theme this weeks photo shoot was just that! Spring flowers! I'll post the outside play shots in a bit.. but for now.. because I know some of you are waiting!! .. Here they are! 4 weeks old!

Happy Easter..

Brings us to week three of the puppers. Eyes open.. legs working.. on the move!! I am amazed at how much they change each and every day. 


A little bit of drama on Saturday night.. Red boy #2 seemed to have some tummy troubles. Belly was hard he was struggling to poop. Off to the vet we go, and you just know these things can never happen on a regular day during regular office hours! At any rate.. Little red boy relieved himself on Taylors sweater on the ride to town, after that he felt much better. The exam revealed some inflammation of his bowel (Colitis) So the prescription was some probiotics and deworm the whole bunch! He's doing much better now! A little newbie nervousness on my part! But better safe than sorry! 

So.. with out further words.. Here's is the 3 week photo shoot! Enjoy!

Random shots of puppyness....

I couldn't resist posting some shots taken a few days ago! These is not the week 3 set... those will be loaded very shortly! 

Puppy Wrangler..

My youngest daughter Taylor was my assistant the other day for the puppy photo shoot! So.. while she was helping I managed to snap a few of her as well! 

You want me to look where??

Time flies...

When you're staring at puppies! week two has come up already. 

Pups are doing good.. We had eyes on Sunday in honor of my hubby's birthday! How cute is that! Yay.. Black tri boy and Blue girl #2 were the first to open their peepers! The rest are blinking and I would guess they're not far from looking around the pool!

Along with the lookers, most of the gang are testing out their legs! Pretty wobbly still but upwardly mobile. Not long now and Evo will not be able to escape them! :) 

So here they are Week 2 photos!! In no particular order...

Week One

Wow.. I can't believe a week has come and gone already! Pups are growing like weeds.. 


Good friend Jackie from Vispera Aussies in Lloydminster came out last week to assist or rather I assisted in the banding of the tails. Apparently the the crew gets there musical talent from dad.. Ralf is quite the singer! A little puppy rarooing inside... little Ralf rarooing outside on the deck and a little Cockatoo picking up the background vocals.. Very interesting day! 


Evo is spending more time outside the pool.. getting some much needed rest! She is a great mom, I am so pleased with how she takes care of her brood! I'm thinking if they continue to grow as they have, in a weeks time it's going to be a hostile takeover at feeding time!


Speaking of poo.. okay we weren't really but, we are now... The pups have a "bacteria overload" according to the vet. Mild, but enough to give them loose poop.. So they are all on a series of antibiotics for a week twice a day just to clear it up and prevent dehydration. First dose was this afternoon.. Now the vet said it was flavored meds that they should really like.. She was wrong! A seemingly easy task of .2 mls down the puppy hatch should be a breeze, or so you'd think...  apparently the puppies didn't get the memo!


Otherwise all is good.. they are the greatest time waster ever! The main reason the blog is not updated as often as it should be. However to make up for the lack of news..  I have new pictures!! In no particular order! :)
