MICHAELA

MICHAELA

Michaela is a kisser and a biter. Show Michaela your face and she will show you some love. She will also chase you across the room just for a bite of your tasty, tasty toes. She loves playing with absolutely anything but toes are definitely her favourite. Her favourite stuffed animal is her Coda teddy bear.

MARILYN

MARILYN

Marilyn is a lover, not a fighter. She is afraid to be away from people for too long and hates being confined. She loves to play and she also loves a warm bowl of milk. She is the second biggest of the bully babies. Marilyn's favourite toy is her stuffed Tigger.

MAGDALENA

MAGDALENA

Magdalena, better known as Maggie is the biggest and the 'bulliest'. She is so sweet and such a big baby. She loves spending time with people as well as her siblings. Her favourite thing to play with is a human but she also loves stuffed animals.

Six Weeks!

Although I was without internet access for a while due to moving into a new house, I still wanted to take profile pictures of each of the puppies once they turned six weeks old. I took a few shots of each of them. Here are I present to you the six pictures that came out the best. So, now, in no particular order, may I present....

JEAN-LUC

HUMPHREY

ALISTAIR

So far, we have only found a new home for Maggie. We will not be parting ways with Humphrey and I doubt if Jean-Luc is going anywhere, either. I want to keep all six of them, they are so precious! But it would be expensive to feed all six of them. :/

For the next few posts I'm going to be taking an individual look at each of the puppies and write a bit about them, giving them an actual profile.

Jean-Luc is a heavy sleeper and often looks like he is drunk.

At 3 and half weeks he could sleep through virtually anything.

Humphrey has decided he belongs with the 'big' dogs and is cuddling with Maltese Noodles.

Puppies Nursing

Here is a video of Alistair, Humphrey, Jean-Luc, Marilyn, Magdalena, and Michaela nursing their mother. I set it to Fireflies by Owl City because the song is soft and one of my favourites. Now that I am thinking about it I actually wish I would have set it a Karaoke version of Fireflies or maybe Vanilla Twilight instead.

He has a huge tongue!

His umbilical cord came off wrong

One of the puppies Jean-Luc had a bit of a dilemma when his umbilical cord fell off wrong and became a large open wound. The wound quickly became dirty and pussy so I clean it out warm cotton swab and have been putting triple antibiotic ointment on it. It's now down to a scab.

Jean-Luc

Michaela and Maggie?

Michaela?

Jean-Luc

Jean-Luc was named by the Star Trek fanatic.

 We decided to give them temp names so we have something to call them by until they are old enough to find new homes. Their names are Alistair (Al), Humphrey (Bogie), Jean-Luc (Luca), and the girls are Marilyn, Magdalena, and Michaela but I like to say Mari, Maggie, and Mak.

Alistair is a name I liked.
Humphrey is after Mr. Bogart.
Jean-Luc is after Jean-Luc Picard.
Marilyn is after Ms. Monroe.
Magdalena is just a name I like and I adore the nickname Maggie.
Michaela is another name I like although Mom chose it. I chose the nickname Mak.

D.P's Story

This is D.P.

The December before last a co-worker of mine found an abandoned puppy behind her outdoor trashcan. She brought the puppy up to work. She couldn't keep her and most of the people she asked couldn't keep her either. 

She was a brown and black bundle and she was all wrapped up in a red and blue blanket. I couldn't resist her baby face. I lived with my grandfather and knew he wouldn't be happy if I brought home another dog so I sneaked her home and kept her hidden. When he found her he let her stay. I told him I was trying to find her a home. He accepted that and let me be.

When we moved into our new house D.P, still not having a home moved with us. She is now a year and three months old and she recently had six puppies. That's how this blog came to be.
