Lazy Sunday Morning..

Normally I lay a blanket out while I am cleaning the kennel and the puppies go exploring.. Well, I do not know if it was the fresh snow or the toasty fire, but they all curled up and fell asleep! It was so cute I had to take a picture..

2 Weeks Old!

This week has been a crazy one for sure! The puppies turned 2 weeks old yesterday, so I am a day late posting their pictures. However, they opened their eyes TODAY so it is luck that I was too busy yesterday, being Thanksgiving and all, to take and post their pictures.

MICK-E

Doncha love that face! He is the cutest little man. He really doesn't like the bandanna. He was growling at it! But he likes to be snuggled in his blankie! Do you blame him though? It is like 6 degree's here!

SHAGG-E

Shagg-e was a squirmer today. He wanted to explore, instead of pose for pictures! He always looks like he is smiling! I love his cute little face!

DAPH-NE

Here is our little princess. She is definitely is the most spoiled. My daughter favors her because she is a girl.. She is a sweetheart and really like to snuggle!

FRED-E

Fred-e is a sweetie pie! He seems to really like being held like a baby on my shoulder. It is hilarious.

SCOOB-E

And, last but not least, here is our little darlin Scoob-E. He is pretty much content anywhere. He really just wanted to sleep instead of pose for me.

The pups little fuzzy muzzles are starting to grow in! Next weeks pics should be fun! I hope that you and your families had a great Thanksgiving Holiday and didn't get too beat up if you went shopping on Black Friday!

PUPPIES ARE 1 WEEK OLD!!

They all are doing fantastic! They were all examined by the Vet this week, got their tails docked and dew claws removed and a clean bill of health!

They have been such a delight to have! I am constantly reminding sis that they are still to little to 'play' with and she can't wait till they are big enough! She spends most of her free time just talking to them, barking at them and snuggling them.

Yes, it really feels like they should be a month old by now, not just a week. We are already so attached to them!

You may notice I changed Rock-E to Fred-E. I tried to talk her into Rock-E but she wouldn't have it. "There is no Rocky in Scooby Doo mom.." Yeah, there isn't.. since she is only 5 I didn't bring up the fact that I do not recall Mickey Mouse in any episodes of 'ole Scooby Doo either! ;-) Fred-E seems to fit him better anyway! (and there is no squishy!)

Scroll on down to see their updated pictures! Feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions.
Thanks for looking!

Shagg-E

This little munchkin is my 'Today's Favorite'

He was just so cuddly and seemed to even LIKE getting his picture taken!

Shagg-E is a rich chocolate color with a small white patch on his chest, a light goatee and darling white tipped toes!

Mick-E

This little macho man wouldn't hold still at all!

I ended up taking over 30 pictures to get these three!

Mick-E is a deep black color with a patch of white on his chest and a light goatee on his chin. He is so curious and likes to wander around his kennel to explore!

Daph-NE

Here is our little princess!

She is a real sweetheart for sure. My daughter makes sure she is always the first one to be weighed... lady's first of course!

Daph-NE is a chocolate color with a unique white blaze on her head, nose and chin, she also has a little patch of white on her chest.

Scoob-E

Scoob-E is as precious as can be!

He likes to be snuggled and hates his picture taken!

Scoob-E is a dark chocolate color, he has some white on his chest and a light goatee on his chin.

Fred-E

This little guy is a squirmy one! He was all about finding the perfect spot to bury his nose in the blankets!

I know this pic isn't the best, but I loved how he was holding his head up! He reminds me of a little bear cub!

Ahh finally the perfect spot to sleep..

Fred-E is a almost completely black miniature schnauzer. He has a tiny little white dot on his chest and his back left toes are tipped in white.

The Puppies are 3 Days Old!!

Sis has finally decided on names for the pups. For those of you who know her, the names should not comes as a surprise.. Scooby Doo is a big part of our lives!

We changed the spelling to go with their Daddy's name Wall-E.

DAPH-NE (Daphne):

Daphne is our only female this time! She is a rich brown chocolate color with unique white markings on her head, tips of her toes and her chest.

SCOOB-E (Scooby):

Scoob-E is also a dark chocolate color with white on his chest, the tips of his toes and a light goatee on his chin.

SHAGG-E (Shaggy):

Shagg-E is also a dark chocolate color, he has a light goatee on his chin, a little more pronounced than Scoob-E, and a small white spot on his belly.

Fred-E (Freddy):

Fred-E is a deep solid black. He has a tiny white spot on his chest and his back left toe. They will most likely fade as he is groomed.

MICK-E (Mickey):

Last but not least, here is Mick-E, He is a rich black with white on his chest and a light goatee on his chin.

These puppies are just darling, tiny and quite active for just three days old! They were squirming all over the place while I was trying to take pictures! They get to meet the Vet for the first time tomorrow!

Welcome little ones!!

Here they are- FINALLY! Ashlies water broke close to 11:00 a.m. The first little pup was born about noon, and the rest followed about every 30-45 minutes. Ashlie is the best mama ever! I do not know that I could keep doing this if she wasn't. We are going to the Vet on Monday for their well check, remove their dew claws and dock the tails.
Mommy and babies are doing awesome!

We got 5 puppies total, 1 chocolate female and 4 males 2 chocolate and 2 black! They are all tiny little things! They are pretty close to the size of a field mouse right now! I forget how small and fragile they are when they are first born.

If you are interested in a puppy, we require a $300.00 deposit to reserve the puppy of your choice. The remaining balance is due by the time the puppy is 6 weeks old. These puppies will be 6 weeks old the week of Christmas, so they are perfect for your Christmas Morning Surprise!

Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions; Sis will be naming them tomorrow and we will post more information and better descriptions as well. I am currently talking her out of 'Squishy' as the name of the little female :)

Wall-E would be proud to know his off spring turned out just perfect!
Oh, it is so nice to have puppies again.

No Puppies Yet!

Just an update, puppies are officially due tomorrow! Ash is definitely uncomfortable but she isn't nesting like she usually does. I expect Friday will be the day, but we are hoping tomorrow night!

She is off of her food a little, I am not sure if it is because my little man is making sure she is well fed from his bowl, or if she is just getting ready! I will keep you posted!

RICCO just turned 1!!

Ricco, who is now named Oliver, just turned 1! He has lots of kids to keep him entertained, and they tell me he is a night owl! He always wants to be around them.. he sneaks into the kids room at night to sleep! Doesn't he have the most adorable face you have ever seen? Thanks so much for the update Scott! we love to hear from you guys! It is so fun to watch our puppies grow!

Barefoot & Pregnant...

Do you see how big her belly is? I really feel for her.. She isn't waddling like she usually does at this point, she still has a week left, so there is still time for waddling..

She is eating TONS! and wanting to go outside every five minutes. but I don't blame her. Anyone who has had a baby would sympathize I am sure!

She got to go to the doggy salon today and get pampered. She got her 'maternity' cut and was able to escape from my two little 'helpers' for just a little while. Yes, they are exhausting.. but we are all very excited for the puppies to get here!

Squirt just had his 2nd Birthday!

Squirt, whose name is now Barney, Just celebrated his 2nd Birthday! Here is his latest picture! Thanks for sharing them! I love getting updates on the pups! Thanks Diana!
