Jingle and Hagen's family
This is the boys at three weeks.  You just don't realize how quickly
they grow until you see it yourself.  This is the second litter we've
had, the first being our Carolina dog, Lita's litter in June of '08, and
I still contend this is one of the neatest things I've ever done.  

This week began with quite a worry.  The big winter storm hit on
Sunday, threatening to knock out power.  Keeping small pups
warm is very critical, but it seems we've dodged that bullet, at
least.

Typical of us guys: we love to play.  That's what the boys do between
nap time and meal time.  That's their daily cycle: Eat, nap and play.  
Sounds like a pretty good life.  Why would you ever grow up?
This is the boys after their weigh-in on the morning of 1/19.  Wow,
once again we are very close to saying WE WANT THEM ALL!  And,
if you know us
AT all, that isn't totally out of the realm of possibility.  
Nah, but not this time.  There are big plans for these little guys.  
It's amazing how two, relatively intelligent adults can have such a
good time watching four puppies eat.  But it was their first meal,
and it just got funnier and funnier.
Boys' day out.  It was so nice outside, we took this terrific opportunity,
in what has been a very cold January, to take the boys out and let
them experience a near perfect day.   Near, because it was only in
the 60s, where perfect would have us in the upper 70s.   
A lot has happened since I last posted some new photos of the boys.  
Lyric flew to Vancouver to his new home, and Piccolo and Zildjian are
most likely going to the San Diego Zoo!  Wow, some of our boys at
probably the greatest zoo around!
