Puppies and more puppies!...

Spring time... and we have few litters in the house of different age.

Of course the oldest are Time-sisters.

Manya and Tory, born in January.

Girls are over 3 months old by now, already in rolled show coats

and with perfectly set "show ears".

Still babies and not even started to change their teeth.

Here they are - sleeping together after much play.

"Litter" of Tutta and Tim resulted in singleton puppy girl this time...

But what a girl! She is almost 3 weeks old now 

and absolutely smashingly beautiful! 

Her coat and color will be to die for...

On other hand our other "special litter" from Time and Bea

is about two weeks old.

They are closely related to Awwa's "twins"

and hopefully we will have a show boy prospect from this litter.

Same as Awwa's sisters those puppies are not for sale.

At list not until show evaluation.

Lastly the newest addition to "Shazzam's" family -

litter from Gigi and Chant.

They had 6 nice looking puppies, surprisingly

all of them turned to be S/P color.

(It was possibility of having B/S puppies, but...

it didn't happen. Genetic is a tricky thing).

Here is all 6 brothers and sisters enjoying at the milk bar. 

This is probably the only time when You will see their photo with tails,

 as very soon they going to loose it.

Keep in mind, those are new-born puppies

absolute babies and look accordantly...

Eyes are closed yet, not much to be said of color

nor of personality. Do not even ask, it is too early!

Above - 4 boys. Extremely wiggly.

Below - two ladies.

All are doing well! All have homes.

Enjoy!

The Star is born!

Look at him now! Formerly Mr. Peter, now "Remy"

is going to new home to learn all about

Obedience and Agility!

Wish him god luck in his wonderful Journey!

Bea's litter 2016. Bea X Chant.

 And of course Bea's puppies... Oh boy! Those are always my favorites.

Not mentioning the fact Chant is a Daddy...

They were born on July 28, Birth Day of Beatrix Potter,

lady who wrought charming  "The Tale of Peter Rabbit".

That gave Ira all that 'Mopsy-Flopsy" idea, do not blame me... 

I can't help it. She is getting very creative lately.

All right now... above- Mrs Josephine...

And she is going to be loved and cherished by our Veronika, Irina's daughter

and my God-daughter all-in-one.

Maybe we even will talk her into some shows... maybe... Right, Veronika?...

 "Cotton Tail". We just call him "Cat". 

(I know it is confusing, as he is the dog... 

male dog after all.)

 Of course... not to forget "Mr. Peter"... he is the biggest one 

with small white spot on front of his chest.

You will love him. We already do.

 "Mopsy" and "Flopsy"... not sure which one is which.

All questions to Irina.

(here we go Ira, You have more things to do -

identify who is "Mopsy" and who is... You know what!)

Now I'm off to walk our dogs, 

You guys enjoy all those photos we just posted.

It may not be any others for a while, as we have more shows coming up

and it will will surely keep me away from blogging.

Oh, well! It is all for good.

Spring is here and Bea's puppies are grown up!

Hard to believe how fast time flies, but here they are - Bea's litter.

Few days ago they got groomed and ready for vet appointment with our vets.

Little ladies are first 4 pictures. They brother is the last one.

BTW, he wasn't very pleased with our photoshoot idea,

that is why he is looking sort of grumpy. 

 After their grooming session everybody went to the vets office

and got to see our Doctor Lisa and her lovely assistant - Emily.

Our vets are terrific and yes, we all normally spend most of time on a floor. 

No worry - it just was freshly sanitized before we brought everybody in.

Now little ones are officially ready to go home.

yes, we WILL miss them, no reason to ask.

I'm in love with Bea and if I could I would keep if not all,

so most of her kids. They are very special to Ira and I.

Day @ the Nursery.

 I still do not have my computer and/or software handy...

Regardless of that life goes on and I'm posting some updates from my phone,

now when I figured out how to do that... I was ignoring using of phone for ages, just because 

always had much better way to do things...

But when You best is not available, You have to do Your best with what 

You have, right?...

Above - our precious Bea with her two week olds.

Below - Gina's bunch, what just got another upgrade to their apartment.

They absolutely in love with bigger place and all those new toys.

Perhaps some of You may recognize what those are....

Yes! We using parrot toys for our babies!..

 They enjoy those, but it only will good till our rascals will have more teeth..

Then more tough toys will have to come to play....

And we have plenty of those too!..

Bea's 2015 litter just arrived!!

After long night of delivery, we all had some rest

and now happy to introduce You to our newest family addition  -

Shazzam Of Oz just got larger

on 5 new born baby schnauzers

from Bea and Chant.

4 little princesses, their brother and their Mom

all are doing well.

 And just for fun... Compare now

(no, I do not mean later this evening! :-)

Starring - Bea!

 Our beautiful Bea (CH Adamis Tragic Beauty) got to be a show star

at Groom Expo in Hershey today with Olga Zabelinskaya,

certified International Master-Groomer.

Bea and Olga did very well and ended up with brining home some Gold 

and prises. Bea got full bag of dog toys for her hard work!

Then of course we had some photoshoot

with celebrities! 

And some more!...

And some treats!...

...and spa treatment!...

Beautiful day and beautiful and very happy dog!

One can never have too many schnauzers!

One can never have too many schnauzers!...

unless we go for the walk in the park.

Then we can limit it to half of dozen or even lesser..

 "Don't You dare to touch our Mommy!"

 Yes, they all are very vicious and proud of it!

Once upon a time I was painting....

The other evening I had a "window of opportunity" and went to my studio to spend some time

with my pastels. It was good, but I didn't get that far (happens all the time, unless 

I have some important art-deadline approaching). Of course Irina (bless her dear heart!) had to grab those chubby puppies and bring them to my room to play. And naturally painting process went by-the-way.

We plaid with dogs and I even managed to do this video. It is too precious not to share, but guess what? I'm going to share what I had on my easel too. Because it was a reason how it all started this time.

(All my friends artists have no idea when do I have time to paint anyway. They are right.

I also have no idea how to find any time to do it. This is why I mostly paint at nights.)

Gina's and Bea's liters, January 2014.

This is how our living room is looking "in action".

Little gangsters are starting to play now.

Clearly visible 10 days age difference between Bea's

fat round things and Gina's litter.

At this age every few days make a big difference in behavior.

Gina's and Bea's babies. Just one more update.

 Big day today for both litters... They got their living area extended almost twice!

This is how our living room is looking right now... But do not worry! 

We still have plenty of room for people too.

 Her Majesty Bea with Hers.

 And Bea's kids without their Mom.

 ... and Gina's kids (without Gina, of course!)

 They are just too big (and too many) for me to attempt

to take a good pictures of them with their Mom.

Instead of Mom Irina gave them that beaver

(the only brown blob on the top right).

The rest of this pile are puppies. 

 Those two - little girl (above) and little boy (below)

so far still available.

Later this week I hope to have video posted too...

Happy 2014 !

a

End of 2013 wasn't that easy here, in PA. We lost our dear friend, Roxanne

and I'm almost lost my car too... it spent two weeks in garage and still wasn't fixed,

no parts are available. So... it returned home "as is", but I took it any way,

life is going on,things still need to be done.

I'm catastrophically behind on all my blogging, so today I'm just posting something, 

just to get back to routine. I'm going to share with You two our litter-boxes,

full of the most precious litter one can imagine - puppies!

Right above - Gina's little guys, about 3 weeks old. We just extended their living area,

but they are not using much of it yet... what is about to change in a few days.

Gina naturally is out of her box and scavenging around.

With those 7 guys she feel herself on a mission to be looking for food... 24/7 !

Below of course is our beautiful Bea. She still have her "Diva-like" attitude with her second litter,

just as well as year ago she had with her first puppies.

Bea's litter is about two weeks old and just today they started to have their eyes open.

Love them. Want them all. Not going to happen. Maybe just one or two...

if they are that good, as their Mom and Dad, who BTW is a visiting us here Gr Champion

from Japan and we used him before on Bea's full sister Ellein.

Elly had gorgeous litter and I wouldn't expect anything lesser from Bear.

But "Thou shell see"....

Bea's pups are month old.

 Bea's three (I just can't call them "little guys", they are anything, but "little"!)

are just turned to be month old. Even they are only few days older then Gina's,

they already acting different. We had to extend their area twice and they

quickly realized what newspapers are good for...

I'm leaving it to Your imagination, but I'm personally totally agree with puppies

about that subject...

Not only they learned about newspapers, but also they made new discovery.

There is a FOOD in Mommy's bowl!

Now they know.

(Therefore it is about time to start feed Bea separately from her puppies!)

 This one just made it to "newspaper area" and now not sure -

should she take more effort and get to the comfortable box for napping, or...

just hung out there?...

Those two... clear choice! Comfortable nap it be!

Oh... troublesome litter... I love them all, I want them all.
