The little bugger is quick when it comes to getting treats so these are a little blurry. I'll do better next time, I promise!

What's next, you ask?

This marks my last puppy pictures post. However, Blue Boy, or "Nouveau" will be staying with Margaret and Pete, so we will continue the blog with updates and pictures of him as he grows. If you own one of these guys and want to send me updated pictures, I would love to post them here.

Have any other ideas for the blog? Let me know... pattycarlson83@yahoo.com

Also, I've changed the formatting of this page so you can see all of the posts we did over the last 9 weeks or so. Enjoy!

My (Patty and Eric's) Terv, Riggs, sharing wisdom with one of the boys.

The famous Nou Nou

They fight a lot, and then they cuddle.

Green Boy is exhausted.

Layered Belgians. Nou Nou, Ally and Elvis. How often do you see three varieties hanging out in the same place?

Again, nice array of colors. Elvis, Omega, Bindy, Nou and just the tip of Riggs' nose.

Yellow Girl and Blue Boy, striking a pose.

I know, I know! Margaret doesn't like her picture taken. But how cute is this??

Yellow Girl has a serious case of the zoomies. Zooming all over the place.

It took a lot for me this week to not put one in my pocket and take it home. They are special babies. I can't say it enough. Even though I've said it ten times already. :)

Pat- we're excited to see you next week!

One more session after this... We do plan on keeping the blog though, so keep checking back!

Everyone is picking on Yellow Girl. She can stand up for herself though, she's tough.

If you listen to the audio, Eric calls her a "diva" as she licks my coffee cup. Haha.

Eric and Red Boy talking. That's right, I can tell who they are without their collars on! :)

Pink Girl's Close up. So adorable.

Green Boy

This isn't the most flattering picture of Blue Boy. He's cute in the videos...he didn't want to be on the grooming table because he was missing out on the action. His face says, "BUT HEY! Look what they're doing down there!"

Here's Yellow Girl perfecting her Belgian-Nose-The-Pocket technique.

Each week that I go, I fall in love with a particular baby for that night. Last night was Yellow Girl. Man, she is so great. Of course, this means I'm in love with all of them by now.

May 9th Update

2009-05-09T22:46:00.000-05:00

I'll post pictures tomorrow, we have some good ones to share!

Margaret and Pete graciously shared their entire afternoon with us. We always plan on spending "about an hour" and end up spending at least 2, and in today's case, almost three hours.

We came into the house today, and with a little Terv-like hesitation they checked us out for about 60 seconds or so and then we were friends. We played outside all afternoon. Margaret supplied a box of toys and everyone was bouncing, biting and taking the occasional break to snuggle with the humans.

Everyone has their own personality, and even after only seeing them a few hours a week, Eric and I can see that too! Red Boy is my favorite, but I would take Yellow Girl home too if someone offered her to me. Haha! Today, they were working on doing stairs, hanging out on the grooming table and playing tug. They are much more independent now, off investigating their own things. Some ears are up, some are down, some are both. It's so cute. They love being with people, even new people like us. When they settle for a nap, it's always at someone's feet.

I think these babies are lucky to have team Pat/Margaret/Pete, and the team is lucky to have the puppies too.

Below are individual movies of each baby. We enjoyed hanging outside with the puppies for a few hours today. They are playful, super cuddly and confident little buggers. And they have teeth! :)

*Special thanks to Eric for laying on the floor, at puppy level to take pictures while his wife (me), who is supposed to be taking pictures, plays with the babies.

*Also, to Margaret and Pete, who let us come over and share the babies first weeks of life! We feel lucky...
