Puppy kisses:) Zada Chelsea and Mercedes Our family friend, Chelsea, stayed with us for the weekend and on Sunday morning with the sun waking the world up and sparkling on our pond, we decided to take Zada and Mercedes outside for some pictures. Enjoy!

The puppies are finished eating (for the morning at least!) and now its time to get out all of that puppy energy! The little girl who is saying hello is Shelby:)

All of the sisters! Shelby Zada Lexus Mercedes

All the brothers together! Tait Max Cheddar

This morning the puppies had their very first bath! They are growing so fast and look so adorable all freshly blow dried and poofy:)

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 5:30. Three and a half hours later, Ruby, a tired but much happier dog, was finished bringing her puppies into the world…all 7 of them! Now she is proudly taking care of her babies so they will be PERFECT by the time they are ready for “homecoming day”!
