Puppies specialize in eating and sleeping.
I did remove them from their comfortable bed, attempting to get some pictures of them at one week old.

At just a week over age 6 months, Wilson is 1st in the Junior Puppy Male Sweepstakes and 2nd in the overall puppy group at the Fraser Valley Dog Fanciers shows. The report is that the judges love his movement. Not only does he have an impressive rosette, he earned a cash prize. If you notice, he is stepping on his cash. Smart boy not to let it get too far from him!
Shown here are five of six of Flo-Jo’s puppies. We took the pups, one at a time, and made sure they were able to nurse. The Orange girl was still in the warming box. When her turn came, she crawled under some of her siblings and dislodged them from their spots. She was determined to get her share! Mother and babies are doing well.
The x-ray, taken today, indicates SIX puppies. Due date is Oct. 1-3.
Friday, Sept. 21, Ivy Marie (formerly Pink Girl) started a BIG adventure. Tom came to get her, they drove to Sea-Tac Airport and flew away to Albuquerque, NM. Coreen and Tom have been waiting for this little white ball of energy to join their family–now made up of Boo (a Bichon) and Palomita (the hairless cat). I understand Ivy was a good traveler and is rapidly settling in to her new home. We all miss her, especially her littermates, Skye and Mochi (Blue and Clear girls), but we know Ivy is starting a wonderful life!
On Sunday, August 27, 2018 at the Sammamish Kennel Club show in Snohomish Sassy earned the last point that she needed for her AKC Championship going Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed. Now we’ll work on completing her Canadian championship where she needs 4 more points. Sassy is a sweet “girl” that likes things HER way.
Pink Girl–now known as “Pinky”. Fun, energetic little pup–seems to be the one that gets the other pups running, wrestling and chasing. Pinky is also the pup that likes to “talk” to you–woof!
Clear girl, now known as Mochi, will be headed to Honolulu, Hawaii after all of her quarantine rules are met–then when she arrives in Honolulu with her owner, Mary, she will be met by the animal quarantine people, taken to the quarantine area where all her paperwork will be reviewed, checked to make sure all fees are paid, her health certificate is in order–then she will be released to leave with Mary and begin her life in Hawaii. Mochi is a very sweet pup–loves tummy rubs.
Green girl, now named Lisbon (or Lizzie for short) lives in Redmond with her owners, but came to visit for a couple of weeks while her owners travel to New York. Lizzie loves to run and play in the grass yard.
Blue girl, now known as Skye, will live here and we’ll see if she turns out to be a show dog. Skye likes to be outside in the grass–and doesn’t mind getting in the wrestling matches.
LeDoux is a puppy from our first Bichon, Duchess. He is the last puppy born from her last litter. Now, at 16 years old, he is still handsome and is still “The King”.
Wilson is just over 4 months. He’s growing and learning. It was bath time today so he looks fluffy. We’ll see how long that lasts!
Wilson
Lisbon (Lizzy for short) has gone to her new home with Kristen, Andy, Jordan, and Devon. She is missed by all of us, but she will be back to visit from time to time and there will be more pictures of Lizzy’s new adventure.
