Week Seven

Finally the weather has warmed just enough to put them outside during the day and when the sun is shining.  As of today, they have now been outside for four days in a row and the LOVE it!  As you can see the "cat tunnel" has turned out to be a crowd favorite.  I will look out the door to check on them and there will be 5 at a time sleeping in it and I'm sure if 7 fit they would all be in there.  So cute!

Week Six and Introducing Them by Name!!

In keeping with my Italian themes when naming my litters at Dolce Vita, I am excited to announce the names for this beautiful litter.  They are all named after wonderful Italian desserts!  Each puppy is absolutely sweet, so how fitting to pair them with Italian sweets!

Here they are at six weeks old.  Introducing...

Week Five

Week five and they are noisy, smelly, a lot of work...and I love every minute of it!  How could I not when I see these sweet faces!

A bushel full of puppies!

Fourth Week

Here are some random pictures from their 4th week.  They continue to become more fun as the days pass...and a lot more work!  Mom is becoming less of the main caretaker which means my duties are increasing.  They've been moved into the family room, right next to the kitchen so they can be exposed to a lot more noise and commotion.  They have all handled the increase in activity and noise absolutely fine and are now meeting the other dogs.

Enjoy!
