Belle on Parade

Three of the sheltie puppies are snoozing...but Belle is in a playful mood so I let her run around in the living room. She seems to really be enjoying chasing her daddy around.

Deep snow...good enough to wear on your face

Here we are playing in the yard with the shelties. I laugh myself silly when Newton bellies out bouncing around through the snow!

Outside in the snow

Having a very snowy winter this year. Our senior sheltie Indy is so thrilled by the snow, he just LOVES to go out and eat snow!

Nick's night out

The puppies are now 20 days old and getting adventurous. They tasted solid food for the first time yesterday, baby rice cereal (they didn't like it). Tonight we shot a little video of the puppies in the Xpen enclosure, and Nick took a little cruise out around the living room floor.

Trial move into the great room

Here are the puppies trying out the new enclosure for the afternoon. They aren't quite ready for the big move, but it will be soon!

Christmas...BAHH HUMBUG

Christmas morning at our house. Newton seems a bit disgruntled with the whole process. Emma is delighted to be ripping up a cardboard tube from wrapping paper. Mommy Sasha is pleased to escort me back to look in on the puppies in the whelping box.
