A First For The Birthday Party

Lily has told her pups in no uncertain terms, that the operating hours of the "milk bar" are being curtailed! But she is very supportive in encouraging them to try something new...


Le Menu du Jour includes kibble saturated in goat's milk, garnished with a sprinkling of probiotics

As an experienced mama, Lily stands by and supervises, but does not swoop down and start scarfing up the babies' delicious breakfast (...unlike some Mamas!)

Twister and Bingo go head-to-head

Spin-The-Bottle ("Smoochie") thinks this is another kissing game

Button wants to know what's for dessert?

Button is showing signs that she will be a beautiful silvery-Parchment like her mama!

And now for a little post-prandial puppy tumbling!

Pajama Party

What could be better for Lily's pups? A little cuddling and a nap al fresco!

"The Lucky Seven": New Pups From Haiku and Roscoe (Manor Lake Apollo)

Seven lucky puppies born to super-mama Haiku (and "super-stud" Roscoe!) Four little girls and three boys--all hungry and ready to hit the ground on a roll!

Mama-to-be Haiku rests her bellyful

The first little guy is a whopper!

He is a little chip off of the Roscoe-block!

Followed by two chocolate girls

Puppy breath!

Lots of room at the table!

The "Lucky Seven": "Ace", "Chance", "Jackpot", "Lucky Penny", "Lucky Star", "Lucky Charm", and "Lucky Clover"!

"I'm rubbing my mama's belly for Good Luck"!"

Gathering of The Clan (with "The Clan McTruffie"!)

Truffle is such a devoted mama that her clan is growing fast. Actually, their fat, fat tummies seem to be the parts that are expanding the most rapidly, thanks to Truffie's relentless round-the-clock feeding. And they are always spotlessly clean, due to her careful housekeeping!

Barely 3 weeks old and (cumulatively) the wee bairns are almost as big as Truffle!

Truffle takes bathtime very seriously 

"Dinna fash yersel Mum! It's naught but a morsel o' haggis!"

Meet the Clan McTruffie: "Angus", "Duncan", "Dougal", "Hamish", "Màiri", "Seona", and "Flora"!

A braw lookin’ lassie

 

"Angus" and "Dougal" are enjoying the view from the Highlands

It's always exciting for the Mamas when their Guardian Families drop in to visit!

Pups get lots of handling by different folks, but according to mama Truffle, the clan elders are Special VIPs! 

Back to the ancestral clan hall for a nap!

Hostilities between rival clans are an everpresent danger in the Highlands. The clan encounters a hunting party of the neighboring McWabbits.

The young McTrufflies opt for a peaceable solution...

...a nap!

Wee lassies "Màiri", "Seona", & "Flora" dogpile on poor "Duncan"

Lucky puppies with so many people to love them!
