Family Photo 19 days old

I can't imagine SEVEN huge puppies nursing on her. Collectively they appear to be as big as her now. Poor Zoe :) She doesn't seem to mind in the least! All eyes have been open for a few days now, and they are standing and crawling around the box. I moved them to the living room today so they can start getting used to more noises and such. Crockett is quickly stealing my heart when I got to hold the pups every morning and night.....I don't want to keep a boy :D

OMG!!! They are sooooo big. If the weather holds out a few more weeks maybe I can get back up there to see them again. I can see why Crocket is stealing your heart. For some reason the boys seem to do that.

I went to your dog blog just to visit and found that you have a wonderful litter of puppies instead! WOOHOO! Congratulations on the 4 healthy babies!!!

Whelping isn't for the faint of heart, is it?! After 13 years of breeding the occasional litter, I'm still always a nervous wreck too! HA!

Zoe looks like such a proud Momma next to her giant babies!

Wow, what gorgeous and robust pups! They look huge for just nineteen days! What are you feeding that momma?

Everyone looks good! How much do they weigh now? Are they barking yet? My red dog puppy is a hoot, he loves to do a play bow and bark a tiny little puppy bark. More pix of their faces, please!
