Six Weeks...

Well, Im a really good momma and like to protect and admire my babies, but NURSING!...well for now I'll just say "it sucks"!! (pardon the pun)  I sure am glad to see them learning to eat out of a dish with those sharp new teeth! ........MYA........zzzz. 

We love our warm softened puppy kibbles!
Nan says this is the best use she's ever seen for microwave muffin pans...who bakes in the microwave?!! Apparently not her!

We had a HUGE weekend with visitors for each one of us! What'dya know! They all liked us so much that they gave us names, and said we were going to go live with them soon. We were so pooped after our visits that we didn't even fight about who got to sleep in our POOH chair.  First man down got it! 
BUT WE RECOVERED, and HERE we are in our  photo shoot at 6+ weeks:

"Willow"

"Marley"

My new family is Dwain, Candy, Andrew & Danielle. They have given me the name CHLOE.

"Angel"

"Bubba"

MYA is a MOMMA!! and her BEAUTIFUL PUPPIES part 3 .

On July 18th Mya gave birth to 5 perfect Cavachon puppies.  She was so delighted with them that she couldn't stop smiling for 3 days!
We've discovered what wonderful doggy nurseries these little pack'n'play cribs can become?! Mya and her puppies have it in their own bedroom, and when the puppies reach a couple weeks of age, we attach a 8x4' safety enclosure in the front of the crib for them to have room to play, eat and begin using the potty area at one end, while still accessing their crib.

The whole gang, growing nicely at one week old.

Lotsa cuddles and lovin' is just what they need...

...and makes for some pretty contented puppies!!

Here are each of the puppies as of this week (at 5 weeks old.)  To learn more about this gentle, companion hybrid go to http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/.  The puppies will be old enough for new homes by the middle of Sept. Thanks for stopping by...Nan. Brynn, Erik, & Jack have chosen this little cuddler to join their family. His name will be posted soon, and I know he will have a ton of fun with all of you! If he's like his dad, you better have a good supply of tennis balls to play fetch with.

Elyse, Dominiq & Sofie have chosen this little cutie as their friend. She has a beautiful name..."WILLOW"...how many sleeps til she comes home, Elyse? :).

Sweet little "Peewee" is on hold til Tuesday 5pm, then available to first person on wait list if not reserved. She's a DOLLY!

Jayda has chosen this beautiful white baby to become her furry companion.  She has named her 'ANGEL', and I know already that Angel's life is going to be "heavenly"!  Congratulations Jayda!

Hanna & Aidan have chosen this beautiful blondie (below) to join their family, which includes a lovely shih tzu companion named "HALO" for her to have fun with. Have fun getting ready to share your lives with her.

A queen arrives on the scene...part 2 of 3!

After awhile, along came a sassy little strawberry blonde into Morie's life, and set his world to spinning.  She is as feminine in her outward appearance as Morie is masculine!  Although she grew out of the reddish hair color, she is now a stunning blonde with apricot highlites.  Mya is precocious, intelligent, affectionate, and IN CONTROL of the pack...including her humans!  Along with her wit, she TALKS!  In being a very social creature, she puts on the strangest whimpering-talking-howling performance you've ever seen when greeting guests! Once you have been introduced "properly" and on her terms, she's satisfied with having been a good hostess on behalf of her pack, and returns to her self- assumed task of tending to everyone else's business.  She has successfully claimed all rights to my man while he's in his recliner, and I believe is the first living creature to ever actually get his undivided attention in short order, even while he's reading...which she oversees.  We have had alot of laughs and amazing moments observing her personality and intelligence. We introduce you to our Cavachon QUEEN Mya:

"The dog has had more fun out of man than man has got out of the dog, for the clearly demonstrable reason that man is by far the more laughable of the two beings."

It all began with Morie

The little fellow Im writing about today marked the beginning of a dream come true.  He also represents happy memories of the Spaniel mentioned in my first blog post. That little spaniel was the best childhood gift my Mom ever gave me, and this little guy was a special gift to me 3 years ago.  Hence his name is MORIE...the last part of the word MEMORIES.
I had been seeking a pet with many attributes.  My man heard about the kindly natured, child-loving, non-shedding CAVACHON on a radio program during one of his road-trips.  We researched the hybrid combination of CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL crossed with BICHON FRISE, and began the search for a CAVACHON.  After a few months we found him, and he hasn't let us down in being loving, gentle, non shedding and playful especially toward children.  We introduce Mister Morie...

  All grown up, and a faithful companion to me:

To be continued...here's to happy memories,

Nan
