The puppies are 1 week and 2 days old — from left to right: Blue girl, Clear boy, Green girl, Purple boy and bottom center is Red boy. Their eyes are just starting to open. In the next few days there should be some big changes. Puppies just grow up to fast–they certainly are fun!!! Looking forward to seeing what little personalities they each have.
On Thursday, July 18, 2013 Rosie’s litter was born–3 males and 2 females. All the puppies are doing well and gaining weight daily. Rosie continues to be an excellent mother and really dislikes being away from her puppies–even for a very short time. One week pictures of the pups will be taken on Thursday–and hopefully posted to the blog shortly thereafter.
Another birth announcement–Rosie (Kenningway Affinity Wild Rose) and Jackson(Encore’s Nordic Connection) announce the birth of their litter–3 males and 2 females. All healthy, good weights, and nursing. Rosie is being a very good mother. Pictures to follow after Sue and I get some rest. This litter took much longer in arriving than Rosie’s first litter and it has been a long time since I’ve been up all night!
Green boy, who was one of the smallest at birth, is now the biggest puppy, weighing 1 lb. 1.6 oz.
Clear boy is not far behind. His weight is 1 lb. 1.4 oz. 
Piper and her new family are just taking it easy. Piper is an excellent mother. I’ll post some head shots of the little ones when they get a little older.
Looks like Lily has been visiting the garden.
Even though Rosie has several more weeks to go, on Thursday Dena gave Rosie her “getting ready for puppies” trim. She looks very cute in her very short trim and is more comfortable–much cooler on the tummy! We are looking forward to the puppies arrival.
It was difficult to see that Lily was wearing a life jacket on her first kayak ride–so here is the proof. Looks like Lily enjoyed her time on the water with Steven.
Lily and Steven out enjoying a sunny, warm day on the ocean for her first kayak ride. Lily, you’ve had more BIG adventures in your first 6 months of life than most little Bichons–enjoy!!! and give your owners lots of LOVE!!
