We have a theme and baby call names, and we're gonna be havin' fun all summer long!

Click here to see the photo pedigree!

This is our first summertime litter, so a "summer songs" theme came naturally! There are so many great songs with "summer" in the title, it's going to be fun to see what names these little ones end up with when all the picking and choosing is done.

Oh! What's this? Yummy and decorative!
Yum-yum-yum!
First experience with puppy gruel - always a fun mess!

Food coma #278. It's a puppy thing.
Full bellies = sleepy puppies
Boy 1 is at the right front, girls L-R are: 4, 3, 2, & 6.

There's pup 2! Already begging to be picked up!
Play time!
Pup 3 decided to take the opportunity to attack...weee!

I'm sorry to say I haven't been as busy with the camera this week, having been slammed by a bout of bronchitis. I did manage to get a few good photos of the cuties, though, and I hope you'll enjoy them! The pups have begun eating solids - or semi-solids - which is always fun!

Getting those first teeth is also fun!
Ouch!
Little red girl tries mama's ear for a teether, while the parti girl tries brother's head.

Another dish of yummy mush! Girl 4 is sitting;
More yummies!
at the dish are pups 3, 6, and 1; but where's pup 2?

The pups are also learning the many joys of toys!
Can you make it squeak?
Pup 4 has found a much more appropriate teether!

As you can see in some of photos above, these puppies CAN actually stand up like normal dogs. However, when placed on the grooming table, their legs turn to jello. It's an interesting phenomenon, and one that we'll have to investigate. Practice - practice - practice. I know!

Pup 1, boy, "BB"
Pup 1, side, 4 wks
Named for the Beach Boys, or Baby Boy, or Bad Boy, depending on the situation!

Pup 2, girl, "Jazzy"
Pup 2, front, 4 wks
She's a curious one!

Pup 3, girl, "Minnie"
Pup 3, side, 4 wks
Cute, cute, and more cute!

Pup 4, girl, "June Bug"
Pup 4, front, 4 wks
Because she came in June, and she's kinda dark brown, sort of, but she's really adorable!

Pup 6, girl, "Summer"
Pup 6, side, 4 wks
Happiness is a warm, summer puppy!

 
Maybe it would be best to try to hold our little photo shoot when the puppies have not just filled their bellies. Besides their nerves over being on the table, that food coma was coming on. Anyway, here's what we got, and if nothing else, they are cute!

This is one laid-back dude, so far!
Pup 1, front, 4 wks
I hope he keeps that sweet snuggliness!

Jazzy has often been the first to do new things,
Pup 2, side, 4 wks
but she's still not sure about "stacking" for pics!

Minnie was the easiest at picture time this week,
Pup 3, front, 4 wks
even though I couldn't quite get her front legs under her. Oh, well!

Not that June bugs are adorable,
Pup 4, side, 4 wks
but the name is cute, and so is our little June Bug, even though she could not stand up for her pic!

Summer's little legs were just not standy-uppy,
Pup 6, front, 4 wks
and she was trying to grip the table with her toes, but that's OK. She's still cute!
