Vaccinations!

So, we found an affordable way to give Humphrey, Jean-Luc, and Michaela their vaccines. Since Mom is a nurse she gave the shots at home.

We did a little bit of research and found some great instructions for giving dog vaccines on Dr Fosters and Smith's website. It was really easy for her to apply what she already knew about giving shots to humans to giving shots to the dogs.

So, today we are homebound. I am monitoring their behavior and making sure they do not become ill.

They are growing up beautifully. Even at eleven weeks old, I can tell they are going to be gorgeous. My biggest wonder is how big are they actually going to be?

They are about a foot high right now but heavy, especially in their stomachs. They feel like they must weigh ten pounds but I'm not sure. I need to get them weighed. I'm going to be looking into getting a scale for them as well as some other necessities.

It's going to be hot so I am going to get them a pool for the summer. One of those $8 deals from the dollar store and let them wade in it. 

Pictures of that will definitely be posted!

Michaela is good at keeping secrets!

Today, we're working on a surprise for all of our lovely fans.

The "we" is Michaela (that little girl is a genius mastermind, I tell ya!), Jean-Luc, Humphrey, and myself. And of course, it will be in memory of little Alistair.

So, I just realized that a surprise means that we can't say what it is.

Does that mean I have to write a whole entire blog post that's actually about something.

She thinks keeping secrets from you is hilarious!

You have probably figured out by now that the puppies are back to good health. Although, Humphrey did get a little sick today. I'm not sure why. It may have been the antibiotic. He and Jean-Luc are still taking it.

Michaela bit my face this morning. This is how she wakes me up every morning. So, I decided to turn the tables on her.

I kissed her so fast that she didn't even have a chance to open her mouth! You have no idea how fast that means you have to be.

Wasn't it yesterday that she looked like this?

New pictures of The Awesome Six coming soon!

Don't forget.

We have a surprise for you!

Home Sweet Home

Maggie and Marilyn went to their new home today.

They were both adopted into the same family.

That comforts me.

Magdalena, Marilyn, Michaela, Alistair, Humphrey, and Jean-Luc at 4 weeks.
I did cry a little, though.

I was doing fine. We were riding in the car. Listening to the music. Both of them in my lap. Then Maggie looked up at me.

She just gave me this look.

And I teared up. 

I couldn't help it.

Maggie: Her eyes are weapons of mass cuteness.
Maggie did fine when we around the people sitting in the unit. Marilyn was shaky and cried. They were both more comfortable when they were with their sister.

Marilyn (7 1/2 weeks) was nervous but did okay when with her sister.

I'm so glad I didn't have to separate them.

I think they'll be fine since they stuck together.

I should get updates often on how they are doing since the girl who took them works with my mother on a regular basis.

Before you get too sad, remember, you can still look forward to posts about Michaela, Alistair, Jean-Luc, and Humphrey.

I'll be posting pictures of them playing outside, enjoying their first spring soon.
