Beauty's cuties.

 Sorry, with my Out-Of-State painting trip all blogging again was behind.

But here is a very special treat for everybody - brand new pictures of beauty's litter.

They are just TOO cute, if such a thing is even possible.

Enjoy! (We sure do!)

Beauty's "humsters" are month old!

Beauty's little pups are just about month old. The biggest thing about them - now they started to eat something other then  their Mom. We give them variety of natural food as yogurt, boiled chicken and rice,

some lean cooked burger and even some soaked with water dog food from the bag..

neither Irina nor myself are big fans of manufactured dog food, but reality is - most of those little guys will have to stay on that very diet and they need to get adjusted not only to home-made goodies but store brand meals as well. They feel all right about it. If You will take good look on those pictures, you will clearly see that they had their meal not that long time ago and it was Irina's cooking this time and not a Beauty's milk.

Above - two adorable black sisters. To my full surprise one of them is still available.

Above - the only man in this garden of girls. Doesn't he look already like a serious little man?

And lastly - all 3 little black/silver sisters. very cure and totally do not get

what did we drag them out of their bed for?.. They just ate, it will be good time to sleep now.

At this gentle age they still mostly sleeping, unless they are eating... And it is all right.

few more weeks and we will have totally different puppies who are ready for some serious games.

Beauty's babies 2012!

Finally Beauty's babies got their eyes wide open and we can show them off a little.

Above and below - two black girls.

Above - 3 Black/Silver girls. All looking very nice.

And finally their ONLY brother. Good looking and smart.
Always looking for Mommy and know where find his milk. I love him a lot...
 perhaps just because he is an only boy in this litter...

Beauty's puppies.

And of course while Vanya did his "show off" thing in NY, little Beauty decided it is right time

 and went ahead with delivery of beauty-full litter of 6 vigorous puppies.

Like usually she has some blacks and even more of black/silver ones.

Most of them are spoken for before they were even born.

Oh, yes!... Teddy is a proud Daddy. Again!

More to follow, stay tuned!...

Our boys.

Week went by and there are only 4 of them left - nice black boy from Beauty and Teddy and 3 handsom black/silver gangsters from Bobby and Timmy. Naturally we let them all stay and play together, so the black one will not feel too lonely. They got along just great and played whole day... unless they were sleeping or 

demanding their food.

Today we offered them a new toy to play with - big cardboard box. and they totally loved it!.. one more lesson - toys do not have to be expensive... they just have to be FUN!

Places and Faces...

Now we had it all... or just about all - tornado, flood and earthquake!... And house is still standing and dogs didn't really care... They do not know much about those things, therefore they care less... not like we do...

Of course all those above mentioned disaster weren't the true reason we didn't do much of a blogging lately... The real reason was my trip to Wyoming and Idaho - to see some friends - painters and dog breeders. And also just to see... and it was a lot to see other then schnauzers. And  some of faces I met there were looking like this one...

 ...or like those two...

 

It was all great, but now I'm back to PA to something less vicious (if not to mention our weather lately).

So far I was away, Irina did great job on feeding of all those puppies and they grew so big, that I simply can not any more fit both litters at one the same blog post. 

Therefore today I only will do update on Beauty/Teddy litter.

 

There we go - two black girls!...

(Jan, yours is left and Roger, your Bella is on a right!)

I think this two ladies are looking better then those two buffalos. Much more friendly! 

 

This is their black baby-brother...

He is still available for some very lucky family!

 

Two more boys, Black/Silver. Ricky is on the right and one on a left is available.

 

Black/Silver girl #1, 

 Black/Silver girl #2

 

...and finally - B/S girl #3!... 

Two of them are still available as well, what may change any moment.

And tomorrow we will spend some more time with camera and post updates on Bobby's litter. Trust me - those little guys are just the same cute!  

Bobby and Beauty's kids are two weeks old!

Time is flying fast. We are getting a lot of funny pictures, but not much time to post it all. However... because we know you all are waiting for those updates, here is a mos urgent news - little guys have their eye open! And now not only we can see them, but they can see us as well...

 

Casya, our matriarch schnauzer  is laying on a new piece of doggy furniture, right beside of pen with Bobby's puppies. She is making sure about Law and Order and doesn't let youngsters to play too intensively around puppy-nestles. Something spotted behind Casya is our old Fox Terrier - Dora. Cuddling in her favorite plush blanket and doesn't care who is up to what.

 

Black boy from Beauty. Obviously.  Because he is black.

 Two black girls. Naturally also from Beauty.

  3 Black/Silver girls... not so obviously, but still from Beauty...

And guess what?... Two Black/Silver boys... and also from Beauty!

Sometimes we can not believe we have 8 puppies in her litter, but... we do!

 

And those 4 gangsters are Bobby's boys. All Black/Silver, just like their Mom.

 

... And two beautiful Black/Silver ladies... also from Bobby.

One of them will be called "Katy". Can not tell witch one yet, 

but she is very much loved by her family.

And this is all for this late time....

And this is so much for one day of blogging... because if you are thinking: "Taking pictures of 5 days old puppies just has to be easy."  just look on this last picture... this is how most of those photos will look like... and we just went trough a lot of those to pick up something what could be published. So you can see the faces of those puppies, not just "some unknown parts" of them out of any order!

Till later!...

Beauty and Bobby became Mothers.

Beauty and Bobby's litters might be the last two litters we will have available in 2011...

We expected their puppies right before I left for my "art trip", but... they waited, and waited... till I left.

And then they totally refused to deal with any puppies, till the day I was back home.

Then Bobby gave me that very look and I told to Irina: "OK. Today we are going to have puppies". And we did. Technically - Bobby did, we just were helping.

Of course poor Beauty felt left along and abandoned... she had no choice, but start with her puppies at the same very day, what gave us about 12 hours of laboring job.

Result - was two half-alive us (that would be Irina and myself) and bunch of much more lively puppies.

Total count of 14... Ouch!... (I see a LOT of work in our nearest future.)

For those of you who is interested - we didn't have any Salt/Pepper puppies and not going to have any till later in 2012. But we have some blacks

 and 10 or so Black/Silvers and some of them are still available. Naturally I'll try to post some updates on what is going on, but don't expect too much, I have a lot of other things to do beside of blogging... So it all will be here... SOMETIME. :-)

This is the ONLY time you will see their tails.

Aren't they lovely?!...

Everybody is very active and Beauty is terrific mother.

I seriously don't know, how she does it, but they always in the perfect order right by her side...

 And we can't even to make them stay still for the moment to take a picture.

Can You find all 8 of them on the picture?... I didn't from the first time!
