Niner - Blue Merle boy #1

Here he is...right and left.  I love
how differently he is marked on
each side.  His copper is coming in
so bright and his body color is
crystal clear.  
Raven - Black Tri girl

Like I said before...she is a
princess in every sense of the
word.  She is absolutely
darling and totally in charge.  
With her love of "pillows" I am
going to have to think of an
appropriate registered name
for her!

Steeler - Blue Merle
boy #2

He has a face that makes my heart
sigh!  What more can I say?
Titan - Black Tri boy

He is just so SQUEEZABLE!!!  You
can't help yourself.  If his sleeping
preferences are any indication,
this boy has his Daddy's relaxed,
go with the flow, attitude.  Titan is
a belly up, let it all hang out, kind
of guy!  *LOL*
This was a week of growing...growing...and more growing!  Everyone, but Titan, is nearing two
pounds.  As for Titan, well...he is over two and a half!  This boy takes meal time seriously!  The
puppies started the week just little munchins who slept all the time and now they are wrestling
and chewing on assorted body parts!  The most fearsome of the foursome (at least according to
the boys) is Raven!  She is not a girlie girl and does not take kindly to be tromped on by her
brothers. *LOL*  Notice the trend in the photos where she is always sleeping on someone else!
Apparently, she is under the impression that the boys are pillows.  I have a feeling that she is
going to rule the roost when it comes to this litter!!  

On a side note, a friend asked me who I wanted to win the Superbowl.  What a silly question!   
GO STEELERS!!!!
Don't ask me why, but they like to sleep
by color.  I will most often find the
blues together and the blacks a little
ways away.  Personally, I think Raven
just prefers sleeping on Titan...all that
padding you know!
They were all wrestling when I starting
snappy pictures, then Raven got tired
and fell asleep on Niner, while Steeler
had to put up with Titan gnawing on his
ear!
Had to get in a few of
Super Mommy!  I am
so proud of Canny and
the job she is doing
with her babies.  

Alyssa - You would be
so proud of your girl!
You don't know how hard it is not
to wake them up and start kissing
on them when they are like this!  
*LOL*
