Mom had more people over to see my babies today. I don't care. I like the attention. My babies seem to be leaving me alone more often. I like that. I am really sore from their teeth. They bite! Mom and Dad took some new pictures today. She said I need to tell everyone about it. She also said that Mint, Thyme and one of my sable babies need homes. She told me told me that if you are interested in them to contact her through her website.
Here are the pictures from today. 5 weeks old

Dear Diary

My puppies are almost 5 weeks old and they are doing great. Mom is letting me sleep upstairs with her. She said we are starting to crate train my babies so I don't have to be around them as much. Don't get me wrong, I do love my babies but they have some sharp teeth and bite. I like to play with them but on my terms and not usually all 8 at once. Mom and Dad still have people coming over to see me and the babies all the time. She says it will help us in the long run. Something about having a properly socialized puppy - whatever that means. She has even put up an umbrella in my puppy area saying the same thing about "something new and different" who knows. Sometimes I think mom is crazy.
Well, got to go, mom is taking us all out to play before it gets too hot. She said she needs to wear us out before the visitors come.
Here are some pictures from this week. Grandma took them. She has been staying with us and watching my babies while mom and dad go to work. This weeks pictures

Sorry I haven't written to you in some time. Life has been busy with my puppies. They have gotten big and they have gotten teeth. I really want to be with them but the hurt me. I try and try but it hurts so I stay away mostly. Mom and dad are giving them really good food so they don't need me as much. I miss the times when they needed me. I still love them. They are getting big enough that I can play with them. They chase me around and bite my tail and my hair. Mom and dad take a lot of pictures of me playing with my babies. They think it's cute.
Much still doesn't like the my babies. He won't even come downstairs to be with us. The babies love their uncle Tuck and aunt Willow and I am sure they would love Much if he would give them a chance. Oh well, his loss.
Mom still has lots of people coming to visit. Last weekend we had 4 people on saturday and 6 on sunday. I love all these people. They play ball with me and love on me. I like that.
Mom took pictures while we were outside on sunday. She said to tell everyone to go and see them... 4 weeks old
I promise I will write more often.

Dear Diary,

My puppies are growing like weeds. Mom and Dad are now feeding them this mushy stuff. It looks really gross but they eat it and when they are done I sneak in and eat what they don't. I am still hungry all the time. Mom says I have over 40 pounds of puppies that I am taking care of.
They are starting to play with me and all the toys mom has for them. They follow me around and we play. Mom says that we are going to take them outside today when she gets home from work. I can't wait. Maybe I can get one to play ball with me.

I still love them. They are my babies and I love to lay with them and let them crawl all over me. Willow is trying to help me take care of them. I let her because she is gentle with them and would never hurt them. Tuck and Much are afraid of my babies. They run when my babies go near them. It is really funny to watch because Much is so big and the babies are so small and he is afraid of them. Oh well, maybe one day he will be brave and play with them.

Well diary, enough for now. Dad wants to go outside and maybe he will throw my ball for me.
Here is that latest pictures of my babies. I hope you enjoy them.
3 weeks old

Dear Diary,

Mom keeps taking my babies away from me. She tries to hide them and thinks I don't notice when they are gone. What is she thinking? I can count! and I know how many babies I have. Today she set up a pen in the basement and put my puppies in it. She said they are getting big and it is time to start introducing them to new sights and sounds and things. I don't care about this socializ...whatever it is. I just want to be with my babies. Luckily for mom she let me be with them in the pen and let me get out when I wanted to.

Mom is still bringing people over to see me. We had Deb over today. I like her. She is really nice to me and yesterday we had Siegi over. She pet me and loved on me for a while. I like them. I hope they come back. Of course they played with my babies also but as long as I got attention that is all that matters.

Mom took lots of pictures today and she said I should tell you where to find them so you can see how big my babies are. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention that mom groomed Tuck and Willow yesterday and look at all the hair she got out! It looks like it snowed in July. Now I can laugh at them like they laugh at me for not having any undercoat. Ha Ha!

Dear Diary,

My babies are getting big! They want to eat a lot and I just can't help but get in there with them and feed them. Mom and Dad keep stealing babies from me and taking them out to the couch with them. I am ok with this until they start to cry. Then I have to go and check out what is happening. Sometimes I like to go and lick my babies when dad has one and it starts to cry and dad can't get it settled so he gives it back. It is kinda fun to tease dad that way.

So dad has been home with me and that has been fun. He is always in the box playing with my puppies. At least it gives me a break :) I can go upstairs and play with my brothers and sister.

Did I mention that my babies are starting to walk around? Well they are. Pretty soon they will be running and mom and dad will have to catch us. Hee hee I can't wait for that.

Got to go diary. It is time for my ice cream treat.

Feeding Time!

Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

My babies are 2 weeks old now and they are really moving. They have gotten so big! They are figuring out how to walk and by the end of the week mom says they will be running! Maybe then we can all play. Mom says she has to go to work on monday but that dad is staying home with me. That's fine, I love my daddy. He lets me get away with lots of things and loves to feed me treats. I think we will have fun these next couple of weeks with dad.

Mom and dad are still bringing people over to see me. I love it when they come to see me and of course play with my babies. I get a break when people are over. I don't have to be with my babies all the time because these nice people hold them and talk to them and play with them.

Mom says it is time to take more pictures so I guess I better go and help. I will tell mom to show them to everyone!

Well it is day 12 of me having babies and I still love them! They have gotten much bigger and eat a lot, but that is ok, I enjoy feeding them and cleaning them. They are so much fun. I only wish I didn't have to feed them at night. I like sleeping with mommy and don't like to get up when they cry. I am trying a new tactic. I am feeding them a lot today so maybe I won't have to feed them at night. I hope it works but I don't think mom will let me do that. She makes me get up when they start crying. Oh well, I do love them.

Their eyes are starting to open. Mom and Dad have made a big deal out of that. So what? now they will be able to see where they are going and what to nurse on and maybe they won't nurse on my skin anymore and just nurse where they are supposed to.

Well time to go, Mom gives me ice cream at this time because she says I am such a good mommy to my babies that I deserve a treat. I like ice cream!
