NEW PICS OF JEWEL AND PUPPIES!

***UPDATE 10/26/10- several of the pups have at least 1 eye open today-yeah!!! We will take pics of them very soon (soooo exciting). They are butterballs****


Busy weekend but exciting! My twin sis and fellow animal lover, Kelly, and her jack-of-all- trades hubby, Dave (or as she calls him Hubbyball-lol), came down for a visit! My step-daughter, Hannah, was finally here when they came (their weekends are always opposite of when Kelly can come down...) so that was great!

The pups are now 11 days old and just as precious as can be. I cannot wait until their eyes open (should be this week sometime). They are moving around a lot more (commando crawling- lol) and mama Jewel is doing such a great job with them. She has really made a lot of progress in a short time. Jewel enjoys taking breaks outside and is spending a bit more time out of her crate just lounging in her enclosure. Without fail, she will go say "hello" to her buddies Rascal and Spanky on her way out the door and when she comes back in! Oh and her little "squeeks" are so cute. Jewel likes to talk to me and will even let out an occasional howl! Other than a bunch of laundry, they have really been a joy to have...just a fabulous little family.

My hubby took Jewel went to the vet last week and the BEST NEWS is that she is heartworm negative! I figured she would be with her young age, but you never know in this part of the country. Doc put her on a multivitamin for the next week along with an iron supplement. She wants Jewel to get " a little more pep in her" before she can travel. Other than being too thin, her overall health is ok (no parasites detected, etc.). A wonderful pilot, Jeff, from Pilots N Paws has offered to fly this family from Arkansas to their rescue in Kentucky (thanks Amy!) when she is able in a couple of weeks- THANKS JEFF!!! Amanda in Canada has been so wonderful to help arrange transport (thanks so much Amanda)! What a phenomenal life saving program it is- check it out if you aren't familiar with it! http://pilotsnpaws.org/

Now look at this gorgeous girl- she has the most gorgeous eye color (click on the picture for an enlarged view)!

Pile 'O Puppies- who doesn't love this! 3 boys and 2 girls- all completely different colors and markings! I will take more pics next weekend (been trying to leave the puppies alone as much as possible).

Don't you wish you could join them!

Jewel wasn't quite sure what the black thing was that kept pointing at her (my camera of course).

Jewel still enjoys her chicken and rice! Oh and canned food too!

Lil Runt...the most gorgeous silver coat!

Just beautiful...

No it's not a mouse...it's another pup!

She's almost cracking a smile :)

Awww what a good mommy!

Doesn't Jewel just looks so peaceful?!

Who doesn't like puppies...seriously?

Giving Lil Runt a bit extra time with mommy (don't tell the others)!
