Photos! 2 weeks and 3 days old

Leonard & I finally gave names to the 3 boys. Their puppy names are for the Founding Fathers of this country.George, as in Washington (Boy #1)

Thomas, as in Jefferson (Boy #2)

Ben, as in Franklin (Boy #3)

Lutherette (Girl #1)

Ann (Girl #2)

Name help!

Right now my heart goes to Lutherette. If she continues to show the promise that she does now, she will be staying. That said, her registered name will be Visions Miss-Taken Identity.

What will I call her? I truly believe that they are what you name them. Magnet definitely is my velcro dog and Tristan, named for a combination of characters from James Herriot's work and Legends of the Fall, was my bad boy, always in trouble . I cannot live in a house with both a Luther and a Lutherette. Missy I use sacastically when a girl is being bad, so I don't want to actually name her that. I want her to have a sweet, nice name.

Any suggestions?

PS - updated photos will have to wait until the weekend since Leonard is working mega long hours these next two days.

Peepers! And thanks!

Guess who had the first eye opening experience last night?

The little guy!

The rest of his F-A-T siblings napping, as all good puppies do! These are the most content pups we have ever had. Leonard is very impressed, thinking they should be named Quiet, Good, etc...

I want to thank all of you for the well wishes on my new position. I am now the new church secretary for a lovely congregation only 4 minutes from home! It is the perfect setting, lovely people, perfect location and great hours!

I really did enjoy doing the CWCCA Newsletter and Handbook over the past few years and I only gave up the newsletter when it did interfere with my then full time job. Funny how that job vanished a couple months later... Now I can do the same for this organization as my job!

Life is good.

A big blessing...

I have been hired for the position that is truly what I * WANT * to do!

I have been applying for PT positions left and right and never heard back... the one and only position that I did hear back from is the one I truly wanted. After a phone interview, a face-to-face interview with the committee and the final interview yesterday, I was offered the position!

I start next Monday!

One week old, in pictures

Boy #1, the only pup who did not double their birthweight, but still the largest at 23 oz.

Boy #2, 22 oz. I am leaning to the fact that he is a bright brindle point, instead of tan pointed. Time will tell.

Boy #3, he did double his birthweight and is 15 oz.

Lutherette, 18 oz.

Girl #2 (on right), now 17 oz.

Cute Puppy Bellies!

Where's Waldo?

Lutherette's eye is already coloring in!

Thanks to Aunties Susan & Julie for catching this precious moment today!

Day 4

Look how content these guys are! They just had their dew claws removed, still in the car on the way home. They fell right to sleep, never even noticed what happened!

My vet is AWESOME! He said they would be fine to be done on day 4 and he was not kidding. They had the pups in the back for about 10 minutes and brought me back a basket of content, napping puppies. He loved how well Lacey is doing and how gorgeous the pups were.

We go back again next Monday for Lacey's staples to be removed.
