Princess Kiwi's New Pups

I confess...! I have been hoarding again! (Doodle Hoarders Anonymous intervention required!)

We have been so very excited waiting for this litter! Kiwi, who is of course Lola's daughter from  "The Spice Girls" (and not to mention, Cosmo's niece, as well!) has had 5 beauties with "By The Bay Stanford".  The 4 little boys and one girl are wonderfully calm, but robust and healthy, spending their time nursing and sleeping in their box under the desk in my office.

Kiwi's human family have come to admire her precious new babies

Kiwi is a wonderful mama who radiates calm and tranquility around her pups (but still likes to sneak outside for some tennis ball fun!)

Our resident "Labra-doula" Bibi REALLY wants to mother these puppies...

(Luckily for her, Kiwi has gone outside for some "me-time")

"Pleeeeze...?)

 

"The Super-Heroes!" Secret Identities--Revealed!

In their secret command base, deep in "The Fortress of Doodletude" the brave and virtuous young superdoods gather after a long day of fighting super villains and spreading fuzzy love among the good citizens of Dogtham City...

Guided by their wise mentor Dr. Grace LaBonne (aka "Dr. G"), the superdoods put their heads together to plan their mission to combat the misdeeds of nefarious supervillains (such as the infamous Dr. Cos-NO)

The superdoods fortify their strength, intelligence, and overall good-natures with regular top-ups of Dr. G's proprietary secret elixir.

Dr. G is always ready to provide sage counsel:

"Do not go out in public with milk on your face"

"I think you have a little Kryptonite stuck to your nose"

Little "Xena" is always good to have around for "back-up"

"Thor"

"Storm" and "Thor"

"Thor's" flowing golden locks strike envy into the heart of little sister "Storm"

Storm perfecting every doodle's most important defensive maneuver: The Force Flop

"IronMan"

"I'm fully protected by my armor if someone drops me, right?"

Ironman remains composed, cool, and collected in all crisis situations

It's a bird...

It's a plane...



It's...Superman

"I'm Batman"

"Captain America"

"Avengers, Assemble!"

"No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit?

Estie's Oktoberfest-ies!

Sweet Estie is celebrating the season with her five beautiful chocolate pups. We are delighted to introduce: "Our dear treasure "Schatzi",  little bear "Bärchen", cutie-pie "Schnuckiputzi", cuddle-bunny "Knuddel", and the sweet little dolly "Zuckerpuppe"!

Estie is taking such good care of her new puppies, but they are very tiny--we have had to sleep in the same room with them and set an alarm to check on them every few hours through the night. (Sometimes new mamas get a little too comfy, and can accidentally roll over and pass out on top of a fragile wee one!)

Estie is somewhat astonished by her handiwork (but very proud nonetheless)

Three little girls and two boys

 

Estie was a little jealous that all of her pups got to sit on Nate's lap for photos, and when she saw her opportunity, she jumped right up for her turn!
