An Armfull

The boys were half asleep.  Otherwise, they would not have held still for this picture.

The puppies thought it was a perfect day:  they had lots of play time, lots of nap time, lots of food and even had visitors.  They are delighted to meet new people and never show any nerves or fear.

Training consists of brushing and combing, so they get used to grooming.  We have worked more on leash training and have just begun to give treats when all four feet are on the floor.

My sweet boys are 9 weeks old today.

 

It Was A Big Week For the Little Bruisers!

May 252018
 

Mr. Brown had some leash training today. He did quite well, especially when he realized there was food involved as a reward.

Butter Bean (Blue Boy) is the largest of the puppies. He is pretty easy going, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love to play!

Turq is very curious and independent.

These boys are rough and tumble!  They are not afraid to take on the big dogs, but of course, I have to carefully watch that they play safely.  The puppies went to the vet for their health check up and first puppy vaccinations.  They passed with flying colors.  The vet enjoyed that they got a Bichon Buzz going in the exam room.  

Today the boys had their first excursion to the back yard grassy area for play time.

It’s Wednesday so it must be time for the 7 week pictures

Outside is the new favorite place to be.  All the pups have learned to traverse the two steps leading to the dog yard.  I put a cushion at the bottom, just in case there is a misstep.

Blue Boy is maintaining his lead in the weight department. He’s a pretty easy going guy.

Brown was the first to master the steps and the dog door. He loves to play with the big dogs.

Turq likes to try new things. He was the first to try out the Wobble Ball.

TIME FLIES…….

May 092018
 

Six weeks have gone by quickly.  The little boys are such good puppies.  Brown and Turq had their baths and haircuts today.  They are also wearing collars so they will get used to the feeling of something around their necks.  Can you hear Brown protesting?

Brown was fine in the bath, but he wasn’t a fan of the rest of his grooming experience. The word “cooperative” was not in play today.

Turq is not happy about any aspect of grooming!

First Bath and Haircut

May 082018
 

First bath and haircut went pretty well for Mr. Blue. 

All he is interested in right now is a nap.  

Blue was good in the bath. Notice his tail is up! The dryer was a bit more scary, but he settled down.

Look at the pile of hair! The clippers were met with skepticism, but all in all, Blue was VERY brave!

Almost Five Weeks

May 012018
 

Pictures are taken a day early this week.  I’ll be out of town at the Bichon Frise National Specialty

The little lads will be having a sleepover with Auntie Terrie.

This week we see lots more running and playing.  Baby teeth are starting to come in.

They are still not sure that they love their mushed up dog food.  Mom tastes better.

Featuring Blue Boy

The puppies had a nice little romp and were settled for a long sleep. Blue Boy did not like the idea of having a camera put in front of his face and he barked and growled at it.

Sunny’s Nursery – 4 weeks old

Apr 252018
 

Today the puppies had their first taste of something other than Sunny’s milk.  They had fun walking in it, but not much went into their mouths.  It won’t be long before they are chowing down.  I think Sunny is doing such a good job of feeding them that they are very happy to maintain the status quo.

Mr. Blue Boy – the oldest and still the heaviest.

Brown is getting cuter every day.

Turq didn’t want to look up today. He must have been sleepy.

Playtime for the Pups – Three Weeks

Apr 182018
 

What an exciting week for the puppies.  They are walking around and usually can get where they intend to go.  They have begun to play with each other and to show interest in their toys. Brushing and combing have begun so they’ll get used to future grooming.  

Blue is the champion eater. He weighs 1lb. 14.4.

Brown is our smallest boy. He gains weight every day and today his weight is 1 lb. 8.5. This picture doesn’t do him justice. He has a very cute face.

Turq is 1 lb. 11.1.
His pigment is the best of the three.
