Puppy Pictures!

Maisie at 9 weeks.

Ellery at 9 weeks.

Ellery and Maisie very tired! Ellery is on the left and Maisie is on the right.

They have grown so much since these pictures were taken. At their last vet's visit, they both weighed 29 pounds! We'll take more pictures tomorrow or Saturday.

Maisie is definitely the alpha dog. She's not aggressive, but is very stubborn. We've started crate training, and I think that she finally realizes that she's not the pack leader (we are). Ellery is so much like Raleigh was. He loves to kiss and craves affection.

So, the next step for me is to change my avatar picture. We still miss Raleigh a lot. He died four months ago (July 25th), and I still miss him so much. Replacing his picture is going to be difficult, but I will do it eventually.

Ohhhhhhhh! So cute!!!! I love the sleepy puppies one. How old I'm those pics?

Oops. Sorry. Followed the link before you put text in. So cute.

Elpha - They are for sure very cute pups. Ellery looks so much like his mom (Abbie). Although the coloring is different, I think Maisie looks like her grandmother, Diva. I'll post pictures of Abbie and Diva tomorrow.

I love the way puppies smell (now that I can smell)

Cute pics, enjoying the leather couch

I absolutely love the smell of Ellery and Maisie. Even better is their puppy breath.

They love laying on the leather couch and loveseat. This week, Maisie figured out how to jump on the loveseat!

OMG they are soooo cute. Worth the wait to see the pics. Maisie and Ellery are adorable and no wonder you are so busy. When you get a chance, please give them hugs from me.

Awww...If they aint the cutest things, I just don't know what is!

SOOOOO CUTE! You could always put Raleigh's picture on your cell phone for your main screen. That's what I did for Thumper who died a year ago (Nov. 15th). I always see her and still miss her.

PS I am still so sorry about Raleigh.

Too cute for words!!! How do you find time to go to work? I'd just want to sit on the sofa cuddling them all day & night!

Div - Maisie and Ellery are taking naps in their crates right now, but I'll definitely hug them for you tonight!

Pam - Great suggestion. Thanks! That's what I'll do. It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since Thumper died.

Techno - Fortunately, I work from home. But, I'm spending a lot of one on one training time with each pup during the day. Plus, they have play time a few times during the day. Both of them love playing tug! At night, we take them for a walk, then more one on one play time. Then we cuddle with them for an hour while we watch a show. Seriously, between the pups and teaching, by the time I go to bed, I'm so tired! But it's a nice tired.

Awe! VG thanks for posting the pictures. They are very precious and are so very lucky to have found a home and family as good as yours I will look forward to more pictures soon.

PS- I know that Raleigh would be very happy to know that you have opened your home and your heart to them too!

 

[vaporgalinfla]

Thank you Salem! Every now and then, I feel like Raleigh might be looking at Ellery and Maisie and is happy. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and cool. So we'll play with the pups outside and take pictures.

 

[mauisunpam]

I'm sure Raleigh is... I just wish Thumper would tell our one year olds to quit being so mischievous!

 

[vaporgalinfla]

Pam - I think Raleigh is; we feel his presence every now and then. That would be great if Thumper could help!

 

[maureengill]

OMG VG....adorable pups....

Take your time changing your avatar...you'll know when you're ready girlie

Wow, I remember having a puppy around. My Phoenix (Yellow Lab) was hit by a car. What a sad day. I have her picture with me at all times. I miss her so very much. I haven't been able to get another dog since. I refuse to get one until I have a house with a fenced in back yard. Until that day comes, seeing pics like this make me very happy and keep my hopes up.

I live in a condo now, ground floor, but still won't subject a dog to that, just not fair to them. Even if they're in a loving home, they need some space to let loose and have fun.
