Niner - Blue Merle boy #1
No - he's not some demon dog
possessed! Looks like this little
stunner will have two blue eyes to
add to his "cool" looks. We won't
know for sure just how blue they
will be for a few more weeks, but
they get bluer every day. Niner is
my fiesty boy! He loves to play
and it lightening fast as he makes
his way from one side of the box to
the other.
Raven - Black Tri girl
She is no shrinking violet! In a
litter full of boys, Raven has
learn to be tough and has
perfected the "sneak attack"
when it comes to play time.
She is the first to know the
minute I walk in the room and
is the first to make her way to
the side to be picked up and
snuggled!

Steeler - Blue Merle
boy #2
I am so happy to see that his
masked eye is turning blue! It's
so striking. Steeler is the most
unflappable of the group. He's
very easy going. It's funny, but
he is always the very first to
notice whenever Riot is looking
in on the puppies and the first to
go say Hi Dad!
Titan - Black Tri
boy
Mr. Snuggles, that's what
I call him. He LOVES to
give kisses and always
wants to be the first to
be picked up. He finds it
hard to wait his turn at
times, but that's just the
way the cookie crumbles
when you have siblings.
You would think with the number of sleeping pictures I have of the puppies that sleeping is all
they do. Not so! It's just that I can't resist them when they are sleeping!! They sleep in such
interesting ways, that I can't help but grab the camera. When not sleeping, Titan has taken to
letting me know that, not only is he the biggest puppy, he also has the biggest voice! His rival
for the title of "loud mouth" is, of course, his sister...they do everything by color don't you
know! More than once Titan and Raven have sat in the box harping (there is no other word
for it) at me, while the "blues brothers" (as I taken to calling them) sit a little ways away
staring at them like they are crazy! Canny takes the commotion all in stride, as she checks in
with them, gives each a big lick on the head, and then goes on about her business. They seem
mildly irritated that she has not taken their complaints more seriously, but are satisfied with
the attention nonetheless and toddle off to play or sleep. It's better than anything on TV I
swear!! Titan 's size earns him very little respect when it comes time to play. The others,
especially Niner, take great joy in beating him up!
Friends laugh when I say that Raven & Titan
always sleep in the same position, but here is
the proof. I have at least 10 pictures like this!
Of course, Niner and
Steeler still sleep like
book-ends, so I guess
the they are no
different than Raven
and Titan.
Look how big everyone is getting!
Is it just me, or do
Niner and Steeler
look like conjoined
twins in this
picture? *LOL*
Niner beating up Titan! A
favorite past time!
Raven and Steeler (top and bottom).
Yeah...she's cleaning his clock!
Besides eating, getting his belly
rubbed is Titan's favorite thing
in the world! He does the leg
wiggling and everything! If
you stop, he will stay on his
back and waves his paws, like
"Do it again!" Funny, that's
exactly what his Daddy does
too!
