Lizzie's Litter
at 5 1/2 weeks
Personalities are beginning to develop
and we take the first individual "portraits"

 
 
3 pups playing

Our first trip out of the nursery.

 
All tuckered out on our own blanket.

GIRLS

Abby reluctantly poses
Abby looking sad
Abby isn't planning to be a show dog so she doesn't think she needs to practice.

 
Besides, she already knows Gene & Em think she's the cutest one in the litter.

 
Lefty practices show stance
 
Lefty thinks she'd rather play with her brothers and sisters than stand still.

 
THE
BOYS
I can do it all by myself!
Troubles on the way
"Turn the spot light on me - I'm doin' what comes naturally," says the brindle and white boy.

 
As soon as she lets go of me, I'm outta here!

 


The face of Trouble
Impatient
I know I've got an adorable face. (And no, I'm not a chocolate cuz I've got both black and brown hairs and a black nose.)

C'mon now, enough is enough and I've got places to go and things I wanna do!
