The puppies are already getting used to family life because of their cozy little home in the living room… …and they are EXHAUSTED after their first photo shoot:) Ruby is a great mother and very protective of her babies!

Little puppy eyes are beginning to open…. …and they are growing roly~poly, puppy bellies!

All day Monday, Ruby was nesting…in the bushes, with blankets, and in a hollow tree– trying to find the perfect birthing place. At 4 o clock in the morning, Ruby woke me up and told me (in true canine fashion) that she was ready to have her puppies! She delivered her first puppy at about…

…flip flops… …geese returning to our pond to have their gosslings……flowers sprouting in the gardens… …picnics… …fun on the trampoline… …canoeing… …buzzards nesting in the barn….…bike rides and rollerblading… …BUT BEST OF ALL……litters of fluffy puppies… …filling the house with love!!!
