Life Is Good!

As I lay sleeping in the puppy room early on Thursday morning, I could feel the sunlight hitting my face, as dawn broke. I’d slept well and felt warm and toasty under the covers and wasn’t quite ready to begin the day, when I suddenly felt Anneliese jump up onto the bed and begin snuggling next to me.

I smiled. My girl, who has been very distracted since about half way through her pregnancy, was suddenly back.

Now she is not like this with everyone, but with Hubby and me, she is back to the sweet little girl that we have always known that she was.

Of course, when you get a stranger into the house, she barks and barks and sounds quite fierce, but otherwise, she is relaxing and happy and actually taking a moment here, and a moment there to come out of the whelping box to get a little love for herself.

I’m starting to catch up on my sleep and I even spent some time trying to get a perfect picture of the litter. Oh it is so hard right now. In another week when their eyes open and they start looking like proper doggies, it will be so much more fun to take pictures of them. Although I do admit to being truly entertained while lying on my belly snapping away.

On the lefty is Miss Black and on the right Mr. Yellow. Mr. Yellow is the only one who is still unsold. I have to say, he sure is a looker and a sweet heart!

And this is Miss Black, close up. She is the smallest and the first born of this litter. She came into this world, kicking and mewling and full of life! Isn’t she a doll?

And lastly, this is the Dackel Princess Pig Pile! All four babies cuddled up for a nap! Wish I were small enough to join them!
