In the Jemez Mountains — about the same size as a local Jack Rabbit
Kip and his Golden Molly — waiting for their people
The one and only Kip
Jim had heart surgery this summer and, due to complications, some of the surgery was re-done. The family has told me that Kip is the rock. Sarah sent me this nice note and the photos. I miss this boy so much, but also know that he is in a wonderful home, with people he loves who love him back. Priceless!

Chase is becoming bolder. First it was a stretch over the edge of the whelping pool to get as close to his sons as he could. This morning, he just jumped in. I’m sure the boyz know this is not their mom, but they seem to appreciate his face-cleaning effort anyway.
Are you our mom?
Face cleaning time
Now, which one is Watson?
Sure hope Phoebe does not show up unexpectedly!

Picture taking is getting tougher. The little guys squirm and turn and wiggle. We should have some open eyes by the end of the week when the boyz hit two weeks old. Perhaps when they can see a little, they won’t be such wigglers.
Look, Watson gave my hand a little lick — so sweet!
I know you’re there, but can’t see you at all
Phoebe tells Chase and Inca off every time they pass by her nursery. She knows they run in to check the puppies when she’s outside, and she is definitely not amused.

Chase has a burning need to be near his puppies. Phoebe has vetoed his house-husband role, but he’s always nearby.
From this chair, he can see everything that happens in the whelping pool.
When Phoebe goes outside, Chase makes a beeline for the whelping pool. Hi, little Abel — I’m your Dad.

The boyz seem to be running laps around the whelping pool and Phoebe is spending more time napping outside the pool. When they want her, they just raise a ruckus. Chase met the puppies today while Phoebe was outside and he gently licked their little heads. He’ll be a wonderful Dad until the little guys show signs of being little “guys”.
The puppies have started running laps around the pool. They aren’t very fast and they aren’t very steady, but they are on the move.
They’ve started using their paws more to check out one another — very cute.
Phoebe is now perfecting the upside down, “milk bar is closed” position.
. . . and here’s Inca keeping an eye on the situation from her lounging spot

I am past sixty-five and still practicing law. I have two terrific sons, they have lovely wives, and I have one truly special granddaughter. At home are three Cardigan Welsh Corgis that amuse and challenge me. We participate in lots of dog-related activities. I love my camera, writing, and roaming. I live in central New Mexico because it's where I want to be. Thanks for visiting my blog. Your (tasteful) comments are welcome.
