The puppies are adorable! I love your new siggie picture, too, PT! 😉 😆
Why thank you for noticing! I finally got that darn particular avatar to work too- it was ONE lousy pixel off so instead of being 80×80, it was 80×81 🙄 I change my avatar and sig around a lot cause I bore easily in that department 🙂
Tomorrow we are supposed to go over to Sharon’s to visit the puppies and for me to get some seriously awesome photos for the future owners puppy books for each of them (which I have to put together but need to see what Sharon is thinking about or if she’ll give me free reign). And the pix are for us too, of course! These are the times to be snapping away cause they grow so fast and you dont have to color correct any eye shine yet! Nor will they become upset at the flash going off a lot 😀
So, it’s 90% were going over there tomorrow (if mom is feeling better; she is but had a touch of the flu after XMas night) and I will likely get those photos downloaded to my computer and formatted then uploaded to my hosting site so you guys can see them ASAP. That will be PUPDATE #3, so keep an eye out for change in title! 😀 Thanks for coming by and sharing in my happiness and joy of our personal Christmas miracle; I havent had a memorable or too fun Christmas since my fiance died so this was really nice to bring the holiday back into my heart. Sharon’s looking to try to time this for the same time for XMas 2008.
Hugs all! XOXOXO and puppy love! <3
What a wonderful story, PT. Thanks for sharing. The puppies are adorable! Glad you were there to help.
Sorry I got here late…I took a vacation from the computer. I won’t do that again.
We didnt get over to Sharon’s the other day but we are supposed to be going over on Saturday for a photo and puppy love session 😀 If it goes to plan, I’ll be coming home with tons of pix and will share them with you in yes, the next Pupdate 😆 So watch out for that title number to change to 3.
Thanks to all that have been following and caring. Your interest, comments, well wishes and such are very much appreciated by all of us touched by this wonderful event. I know, it sounds like Im talking about a human baby, but since I could never have kids, animals have always, always been my children- even when Im the auntie or god mama 🙂
:playfully swats LAPHONS wrist: saying, Bad forum member for being away! Very bad, bad girl! Hehe!
^^^ yea I know! We keep having the plans set and something keeps coming up in the way. Mom has been sick (and I got a bit of her cold) so Sharon is concerned for the pups but I think were fine to see them. Mom just called this evening and said we are supposed to go out to the house tomorrow (Sun) afternoon or late morning. Ive been dying to see them too. I get to hear them squeak on the phone everyday and when Sharon puts the phone to Bella’s ear and I talk to her, she licks the phone and perks her ears. She says Bella has never done that for anyone else. We both assume she has connected my voice (and will with my face) to helping her that night.
But I swear, Im not teasing you guys! You will get a pupdate as soon as I get them done. You will be the first (after me) teh see the photos, I promise. I told Sharon you guys are eager and waiting on them too, and she finds that really sweet of all of you to be even slightly invested in her joy. You all are really great.
Be back as soon as I can get those darn photos. And youll be able to see Bella too, and each pup individually, clearly, from all angles. Hang in there with me! It will be worth it 😀
I’ll wait patiently. lol I got my dog fix today…my friend has a couple of German Shorthairs and I was chillin with them today: -)
Ok OK, it’s finally here! The photo PUPdate to end all updates! We went over yesterday and I cant believe how much the puppies have grown! Theyve doubled in size! And, the first born who is temporarily named Squeaks because of her vocal nature, opened her eyes for the first time while we were visiting! I caught in on camera and youll see her (the mainly light brown one) with at least one eye open in a couple photos. They are ALL thriving and doing very well. Only a select few of us handle them but they are handled enough that they will be good pups as they grow and socialize.
Bella is a wonderful mama. She knows who helped her during her difficult delivery, and she is 100% fine with those of us handling her babies. A word about Bella, since youll see a couple photos of her- she hasnt had a proper bath yet. Sharon doesnt want to fully bathe her yet until the puppies are more along. So, she usually looks more stellar than youll see, but she definitely had her plucky energy back which is wonderful. Now, with NO more ado, I give you TONS-O-PUPPY photos!!!

Awwwwwww, majorly cute! Great ending to a lousy day -thanks so much for sharing. I particularly like the ones with the pups yawning and laying on their backs. And the picture of Mama Bella with her hair up makes her look like a Dr. Suess character! Thanks again for posting them.
They are so cute!! Very healthy looking sweeties! Bella with her hair up is guaranteed to make ya smile! 😀 😆
As promised, here are many more pix. I forgot to say they are just shy of 2 weeks old in these photos. One day, the same day, all three of their tied umbilical cords (I had to tie them off at birth since Bella hadnt the strength to chew them or the placenta, sacks off) dried up and fell off! If you can, go back and look at the photos of when they are an hour old, and compare their size now! Wow! OK, here we go:
