Budget Howl-o-ween

Mollie and I will be going trick or treating with the Laskowski boys. Mollie has her costume, a whole $2 spent (yay dollar store!):



Mine will involve a nightgown, some baby powdered hair and a cardigan which I already have.

More photos of faerie Mollie and her "faerie godmother" will come on the 31st of October, howl-o-ween!

Weeks 5-7

It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks here, I spent a week in the Land Where Communication Does Not Exist and then I got a job and Mollie lost her littermates. Squirt is growing like a little weed though.

She's had her first car ride (to the library), her first collar, her first walk on a lead (about halfway down the sidewalk, she hates it!), her first dog treat, her first vet visit, and she's now eating completely solid food and drinks out of a water dish. My little baby is growing up!




She's got this little stuffed cupcake that we call Pupcake that we got for a buck from the clearance section of Walmart of all places and she loves it. I think she likes the soft texture. She doesn't even sniff at the rubber chewer things we bought the pups and the big dogs seem to have eaten nearly all the plastic balls. But anyway, that's Pupcake and she loves him. :)





A couple of shots with Jones, some belly shots of Mollie and one of her giving a kiss. Jones plays so good with her, he's all gentle and stuff. Indy's still afraid of her and will only sniff and run away. Pansy.



She likes to sit in Krisy's doorway. Here's Indy, too.



You can almost make out her eyes here, they've started going a lighter shade of brown.



Playing with Jones.



First puppy treat



This was when we only had Maddy and Mollie and Joni brought Max out for a visit. They all took a nap together. :) Maddy went to a new home Wednesday night and it's only been Mollie since then. You can tell she's looking around for them to play with, and then she lays down and sighs. It's the saddest thing in the world. But she's got Pupcake and empty toilet rolls to play with and chew, so we try to keep her busy when she's awake.

We've got her spending nights that I don't work upstairs with me, so that's nice to finally have my own pup in my room. We cuddled.

I took the following video clips the other day, like monday or tuesday or something. There's a bit of Maddy, too.



Mollie's 7 week birthday is tomorrow :)

First time in the grass! And happy 4 week birthday!

More bars in more places!

Getting nine pups to sit in a row and look at the camera is hard work.









Finally I had to go with photoshop:



And in other news, the pups are four weeks old today!

First Puppy Mush

Monty didn't keep his mush down well... he woke up a few hours afterwards and yakked it all up, poor fella. Mollie did well, she had a full belly! She's been pushed around by the bigger ones in the frenzy of being fed by Sandy and so she hasn't had a chance to eat much because after all the fighting to get in she's exhausted and falls asleep. With the mush, both Mollie and Marvin both got nice rounded tummies! Yay! It was so cute, but such a mess!

We're going to feed them puppy mush about once a day for the next week or so, then gradually increase it to wean them off Sandy. She's not happy with their new teeth.








It looks gross, but it's just puppy chow and warm water after a spin in the blender.

Welcome to the World, Mollie!

Mollie was born yesterday (3 May 2009) around 9a!  She was the second born, after her Brother Marvin (the little white guy beside her) followed closely by Max (The brown one that looks like a cow).
