These puppies are growing so fast! Dewdrop is their biggest fan, and her mommy says that she wants to see photos on Facebook of them all the time. She calls them Puppeesh.
Dewdrop is a gentle child and can sit quietly and just snuggle a baby pup.
Of course, being on her loving Pop Pop's lap makes snuggle time even more special.
The babies decided to learn how to play on Saturday and are starting to wrassle with each other. Mostly, it involves chewing on a brother's nose for a minute, putting paws around each other, then napping.
For now, they reside in the living room, inside the wading pool. I keep a box with their (ever changing throughout the day) blanket or towel in the pool, line the pool with newspapers and pee pads, and they have learned how to waddle out to the pads to tinkle. A LOT. Those pads get changed all day long too, buy stock in pee pads NOW.
Usually, the pups live in the pool this way for 5 weeks or so, but with this many, there just won't be space. They will need room to run and play.
I'm thinking about moving my car outside and turning the whole garage into a nursery for when we aren't with the dogs. When we are hanging out with them, they can be in the house, or taking over the studio like a pack of hooligans.
At night, I can bring them back in the house to their pool.
I'm treasuring this time of them being tiny, bottle feedings, and babyhood.
It goes by so fast. Just look at Dewdrop, she's a big girl now.
Or at least SHE thinks so! She and her Gypsy mommy have picked out a pup to keep. They are renting a new home that allows pets, and has a small fenced yard. And a passle of little kids ready to cuddle the baby!
Beautiful, loving photos, Karla! I hope at least a couple of these get framed! Puppeesh. I love that.
So the little fur babies actually deliberately go to the pads to pee? They have learned this at their tender age? Wowza, you are one lucky lady, if that is the case! It would certainly make life easier.
A couple at our church had a 3-month-old yorkie pup with them the other day, and I got to pet him. Sweeeeeet little guy. And of course my mind went directly to you!
wow..nothing like puppy pictures to make you realize how quickly time flies by…adorable pictures
It seems like they change by the hour.

Awww she is really getting to be a big BEAUTIFUL girl. She looks so sweet with the fairy outfit and sitting on her Pop’s lap.
Can’t wait to get my book. I have to tell you that Charlotte rec’d one of my pages and took the time to tell me how much she loved it. Your swaps are wonderful and I’ve made new friends with each one. Thanks for all the time and energy you put into them!
Hope that you are getting some cooler fall weather and that you catch “that darned cat” soon.

Yes its a natural instinct to not mess their bed, so if you provide them enough space, they will walk away from the bedding and pee on the pads. As they get bigger, I remove some of the pads, then they will use the remaining ones and the rest of the space is for playing.

Oh pupeesh are getting little faces. I’m just melting looking at Ara and her pupeesh.
Those pictures put a smile on my face!
I love the pictures and the pups are growing.
I want to see them soon. hugs
Those puppies are precious! I would want to keep them all and that is probably why my husband doesn’t want me to breed! haha Dewdrop is simply gorgeous! Those piercing baby blues obviously run in your family! So sweet seeing babies grow up with babies and learning gentleness at a young age.
Grankids are the best and she’s just adorable! What great memories you are making for all of you. Also, I can’t resist a puppy… ahhhhhhh!
They are so adorable!! Am I confused, I thought Dew Drop and her parents and siblings were living in a yurt? I apologize if I am mistaken. I’ve actually been really curious about life in the yurt and kept hoping you’d do a post about it!
They were in a yurt. They were caretakers at a church camp for six months and lived in the woods there. But Dewdrops mom enrolled at KU and they had to move to town so she could go to school.

Karla, If one didn’t know otherwise, I would think she Dew Drop resembles grandpa.

So sweet! Glad that they are all doing well!! Dewdrop is getting so big and so sweet, She will really be a stunner when she gets longer hair. Jen didn’t have much till she was two.
At her 2nd birthday I could finally put her hair in pigtails. Can’t wait to see the pups when we are in KC. I’d like to know when would be a good time or day to come to see you. I’m leaving SA on October 9th.

Fabulous faces, each and every one!
My book arrived! It came today — it was a work 12-hour day and so it was extra joyful to have it waiting for me as a special, well-earned treat! As I always am with your swaps, each and every page (including the fabulous cover and endpage!) are amazing — all different, all lovely, all using so many different materials, techniques and graphics, it made my head spin! Thank you, Karla, for pulling the swap together and also to all my pagemakers. If you left your email address or blog on the card, you’ll hear from me!
There is nothing like a package full of pretty waiting at the end of a rough day! I miss all the boxes and envelopes arriving here. Im afraid Ive been on a little bit of an eBay binge, so more packages will come! I needed some supplies for kits and went a little over board. But, man, boxes on the porch are just like Christmas!
