Yes, puppy Piper is asleep! And it looks as though Jamie’s keeping her safe while she is. Sandy says although they each have their own beds and crates, they’re more often found squished up together. Awwww!

What puppy wouldn’t be happy with 2 little girls to call his own?! Jasper (aka Tucker) has Amelia and Adele and how lucky is he?! He was the 2nd born and Cheery’s favorite from the moment he drew breath – and if someone was squeaking it was him – so he had to be ‘KeelMtn I Do Declare’.

Trying out the latest puppy torture device – a Happy Legs knockoff. Darla and Libby had no problem with it, but Dori and Sirri were not amused. We’ll keep practicing. Nobody wanted to show off their pretty faces and my photographer was disinclined to patience at what was the end of a VERY busy weekend.

Our tri boy, Japer (aka Tucker), went home to Roswell, GA on Sunday with 2 very excited little girls! They are going to learn more about agility and maybe jrs. and Jasper is going to be spoiled beyond belief, I think!

(Somehow I don’t remember seeing this photo before until I was surfing around today and saw it on Jinnie’s Facebook page. So I stole it.

Cheery and her newborn son Tripp in one of those awww moments that totally make you forget the stress, and sleeplessness, and the expense of new babies.
As in we forgot to turn the puppy cam on this morning. No worries, they’ll be back online as soon as we get home from work today.
Piper joins 2 year old Jamie, a Pem boy, and they are both headed for the agility rings in the future. ‘Mom’ Sandy says Piper was not at all intimidated by Jamie, and I’m not surprised. Piper, of all the 6 girls, is her mother’s daughter, and Cheery has never worried about anything or anybody in her life! Piper is ‘in high cotton’ because of all the white up her stifles.

'Come on, let's run!'
'Hey, isn't that my bed? Isn't that my toy?'
Tripp has had somewhere to go from the day he was born – at three days I found him sleeping on top of the pig rail and he was the first one to escape from the whelping box. His Auntie Jinnie dubbed him ‘Tripp’ that first week, and so he had to be, in keeping with our Southernisms litter theme – ‘Fixin’ to Go’. Tripp joins Jazz, a 3 year old Pem rescue girl (you can see her story on Our Rescues page) who will undoubtedly explain to him that girls rule!

In addition to being an ‘only child’, Koda gets the added perk of having a professional photographer as a ‘mom’! I expect to see lots and lots of pictures of Koda! She and Blake are already enrolled in puppy class to start at HOTC next week and Renee is interested in training her for therapy work. We are lucky that she’ll be so close and get to see her often!
Koda - what a beautiful portrait!
