FINALLY!! Puppy pictures!

Okay! So it's finally happening! Here are some photos of the "Mahalia/Fred" babies. Yes, they are still babies, but certainly not newborn!! They were born May 28, 2007, so they are about 6 1/2 weeks old as of today. After a rough start they are now growing in leaps and bounds, some putting on about 1/2 pound a day! The little boy with the purple collar (we've named him "Earl"), was so close to death I didn't think there was any way he'd survive...but survive he did and is now thriving! It will take him a little bit to catch up to the others, but he's first into the food bowl and last to leave! It's hard to believe that they'll be leaving for their new homes in a short couple of weeks!



This is my granddaughter Sera helping them with their first meal...as if they needed help!



Here are some individual pictures of the puppies. Please bear in mind that my daughter (the shepherd handler!) is doing the stacking! There was a fair amount of white on these puppies, including a couple with some white on their muzzles and forehead. This is gradually disappearing, and will be completely gone in a few weeks.
