All have terrific forever homes!
09/09/2020 Babies will be 2 weeks old tomorrow!
Above, that's Yoko climbing into my lap. Ringo has already been there and gone. Ringo and Yoko are the most active at this point. It's amazing though. They all go away from the pile to go potty. At this young age. To the left you can see Paul with his tongue hanging out. Which reminds me of their father. See below, that's Dad. If you go to his pages you'll see several shots with his tongue hanging out. They do grow out of that. hehehe
See their noses now. Almost all filled in.
Yoko, George and Paul are still available!
09/10/2020 Babies are two weeks old.
I weighed them before de-worming today. Paul is still the biggest but not by much. He's just a tad over 3 1/2 lbs. Then Yoko is just a tad under 3 1/2 lbs. Ounce or two. Ringo is just over 3 1/4 lbs. and George is right at 3 1/4. I think they more than doubled from last week. Once they get goin' they'll gain roughly 10 lbs. a month the first year. They are all very calm. They all ate their medicine like little troopers.
I tried a couple more short videos. Don't worry, I'm keeping my day job! But, in the one I wanted you to hear Yoko. She sounds like a little racoon or something. Hilarious. PLEASE let me know if you're unable to view the videos. They take up a lot of space so if they're not working I need to remove them. Thanks!
09/11/2020 Babies are fifteen days old!
Now I think I'm a great movie producer or something. hehe Actually I'm realizing just how easy videos are compared to taking a million pictures, shrinking each of the million pictures, stategically placing and labeling the million pictures...
Butttt, today's videos are too dark. If you enlarge them on your screen you can see them better. So much for auto adjust. I'll do um' during the day from now on but I didn't have the heart to delete these. I think you guys can right click on any of the videos and save them to your computers. Dunno'. Pictures you can for sure.
09/12/2020 Babies are sixteen days old!
Another video. Not much lighter cuz it's all dreary outside. Makes me wanna' take a nap too.
If it looks like I'm being a little rough or being too obnoxious while handling the pups it's cuz I'm doin' my job. :) I'm trying to teach them that people get to do anything they want to them but would NEVER hurt them.
All pups are spoken for. Three of the four are going to live with families who are already owned by one of our Kitabears! That's so cool.
09/15/2020 Babies are 2 1/2 weeks old! Some of these first shots were taken a couple days ago. EYES ARE OPENING!
Now that is a nice head. All these guys are very nice babies!
A couple of them have been complaining. I won't mention any names. :) Sooooooooo, chow time!!! Ringo wasn't thrilled with the situation. He wasn't one of the complainers. He's one of those rather have Mom kinda' guys.
09/17/2020 Babies are 3weeks old! I make a kissy noise when I feed them so they kinda' come when I call. They already know what that means. Only 3 feedings. They amaze me every day!
Below, my best buddy brought her grand daughter over to play with the puppies.
Ringo just loved her and looks like he's going back for more. hehe
Thanks for all your help Harper!
< Too dark but ADORABLE!!!
09/20/2020 Babies are 24 days old! Some of us aren't able to open the videos so I'm going to try to fix that. Good luck... Took the gang out of the whelping box.
< Found one of Mom's bones.
Sometimes those back legs have a mind of their own!
Thought I could save the videos in Windows Media Player but that doesn't seem to be working.
Mama Yo likes to help. Not hard enough getting puppy cooperation. She's gotta' stick her whiskers in the shot. >
The baby tank found Mom's food first. I had to take it away. Afraid they'll choke.
Paul is really getting heavy. He was almost 6 pounds when I weighed him today. The others are closer to 5. I'll get a more accurate weight on Thursday when I de-worm them again.
Then Yoko, then Mr. Thinks He's Cool > jumped in. Ringo seems to be running the show at this point.
< George smelled something interesting but couldn't quite figure out how to get to it.
< Paul being a little domineering, butttt that guy > thinks he's the boss.
George is going to be a service dog. Couldn't be more perfect for the job.
I think we accidentally matched the families perfectly.
Kelly and her handsome son came to visit their puppy, George, today. His new name is Hansuke Mikoto No Sozokujin. Which translates, a very helpful friend, heir to Mikoto.
Mom got um' in line. hehehe
< Ringo standing up to his mother and it looks like Yoko's thinkin', "Boy are you in for it!"
Back home in the nice safe > whelping box. In another week I'll take those boards down and they can come and go as they please.
When I walk the girls, and he's waiting his turn, he crouches down, like we can't see him, and lunges with a "Woof!" when we near the fence. The girls just ignore him, like, whatever.
Mommy and her built in wash cloth after lunch. Wonder if they dread spit bathes as much as we did? Course our mother didn't actually lick our faces. hehe
09/21/2020 Babies are three and a half weeks old! And, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little sister, Jacq, I LOVE YOU!!!
You can tell they're getting bigger cuz the pan is getting smaller.
Mama YoYo is such a good girl. She really wants that puppy slop but knows she has to wait until I give it to her. Though, if I left the room...
I'm feeding them twice a day now. Their teeth are coming in fast. I'll probably start free feeding them dry Purina Puppy Chow in a week. We'll see. That's always a little scary.
09/23/2020 Babies will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. That means time for their 2nd de-worming and I'll weigh um' again.
1, 2, 3 - click and everybody turns their head!
09/26/2020 Babies are 30 days old.
