Welcome to Page #2 Whiskey n' Grommet's 2014 Litter!
I'll try to get more pictures on Sunday but I'm really getting swamped with taxes. Six more days and I can totally concentrate on my babies.
04/13/2014 Babies are going to be 4 weeks old in two days. Can't say how time flies with this gang, cuz it hasn't.
Camille, doin' what she likes to do best. God help anybody who pesters her while she's tryin' to sleep. She's a big tank and she knows it. Walks all over everybody. Growls when you wake her... Who needs a new boss at their house???
Skeeter is totally laid back. He really doesn't care about anything. Fozzie, on the other hand, is probably alpha. Grover holds his own.
Except when she's standing in the food dish!
She knew she was sitting on that container.
Pretty funny.
Camille still has the most dominant skunk stripe. Biggest girl too. Probably the second biggest pup. Skeeter is the biggest then Camille and then Fozzie Bear then Gladys then Grover and my little Lamb Chop is the smallest.
Crappy picture but Fozzie Bear really looks like a bear!
You guys figure out who they are. I NEED a NAP! hehe
04/16/2014 Babies were 4 weeks old yesterday! Got their 2nd de-worming.
All the boys have successfully scaled the wall to freedom.
Course Gamma' was right there to put um' back.
Was just tellin' Chris how Gladys always finishes eating the puppy slop first and goes off by herself like she really doesn't like the chow. Everybody else was still eating when I took these shots. :)
Becoming real people finally!
Grover is still the darkest and Lamb Chop still the lightest.
They're both catching up in size. Doubt they'll ever catch up to Skeeter though.
You can just vaguely see the tiny white line on Gladys' forehead.
Camille is still the most red. The other girls are more fawn. Lamb Chop's tail seems almost white.
Below is an example of a pup from Whiskey's last litter. A couple of these guys will go red like that.
Spider/Bucky at about the same age as this gang is now.
Spider/Bucky at about 6 months of age. Pretty wild huh?
Looks almost exactly like Grover.
04/18/2014 Babies are 4 weeks and 3 days old. I let them out of the cage last night for the first time. They were all fairly brave. Course I put them back in for bedtime. Today they're free for good. Mama is out in the kennel with her Poodle friend. Mama will still come in every night until they leave.
Gladys and Skeeter are the most secure in their new surroundings. Fozzie isn't so sure. And Camille is complaining as usual.
Although, Camille was just complaining. Pretty sure the neighbors could hear Fozzie and Grover. Neighbors are 1/2 mile away. :)
Gladys explores everything and seems to be the first to figure stuff out. She's going to be a handful. :)
After lunch Fozzie went back in the corner, behind the water dish, and took a nap. He wanted the security of a safe place but didn't care where his siblings were. Independent? That's a good thing.
Totally secure. Standing on the milk carton!
"Finally! I have the chow to myself!"
At some point Camille climbed back into the cage for her nap.
Pretty soon we'll get to go out and play on the deck!
Skeeter's new name is Odin. Fits him perfectly!
04/22/2014 Babies are 5 weeks old today!
I tried to get them out on the deck today.
I was sitting on the deck right in front of them but nobody wanted to brave it. I put everybody but Camille out and everybody ran right back in except Grover and Gladys. Grover was the most brave. He actually explored a couple feet away from me. Camille stayed as far away as possible.
Reminds me of "Sesame Street". "...one of these things is not like the others..."
We'll try again in a couple days. Never wanna' force um' and weather permitting.
Skeeter contemplated for a very long time.
And below, Lamb Chop is in attack mode cuz Skeeter just took her toy.
04/25/2014 Babies are 5 1/2 weeks old today!
Still couldn't coax them outside today. Camille deals with it by acting like she's busy doing other stuff.
Fozzie was the most determined but in the end...
That's as far as they'll go.
< Guess he decided to stay in and guard the cookie.
04/29/2014 Babies are 6 weeks old today!
Camille is one of those happy, happy puppies. She doesn't walk to get some place, she hops.
Their white is getting newspaper dingy.
This photo session was rather difficult. We're all very busy doing stuff.
It was too cold to play outside today but coaxing them out makes for some cute pictures. Only way I can get their attention.
05/01/2014 Babies are 6 weeks and 2 days old today!
I opened the door to the deck today while I was TRYING to clean up. Fozzie Bear/Samson went out on the deck!!! He was the first one. Then Lamb Chop/Kimber went out! FINALLY!!!
After a few minutes Gladys/Jiff got brave too!
Grover/Arcturus is going to be the next. I almost had him talked into it.
That's it. The other three aren't quite ready.
After about 10 minutes outside Fozzie/Samson turned into a monster!
Gladys/ Jiff takin' the first step!
She's investigating the bunny.
That's the weather stripping off the door!
Tomorrow and this weekend are supposed to be nice. Maybe the sun will come out!!
05/06/2014 Babies are 7 weeks old today. Some of us are leaving this week. I'm going to miss um'. Course, if you could see the deck right now!!!
