Floppy Puppy Posture

 Good morning,

Lily is so cute.  She just sort of flops around, romps, and falls into place, sometimes falling into a deep sleep for a few minutes.

 She sometimes seems to be jointed like a rag doll the way she flops down.  She'll become more coordinated as she grows and matures.

In the meantime, we are loving all of her antics.

Enjoy!

Helping Daddy Make Lunch

 

 Good morning,

In our home, where there is food, there are Labradors.  

Here Lily is helping Daddy make lunch.  Of course, she got some, too.

Precious!

Lily Teething

 Good morning,

Our sweet baby Lily is teething so we are providing her many chew opportunities that don't involve shoes, furniture, carpet, etc.  

She's doing a very good job, but we are well trained, too.  If one of the three adults in the house can't have eyes on her, she takes a rest in her kennel where she is out of trouble.  It works well for all of us.  She is safe, the house is safe, and we all get a rest between play and cuddle periods..  

Ah, yes, puppyhood....

White Iris

 Good morning,

The beautiful white iris have bloomed at the side of our front porch again this year.  Lovely.

What is so nice is having the memories of all of these flowers.  These iris were given to me by a friend of 50 years and has since passed.  Seeing those flowers bloom every Spring brings back loving memories.

All the best,

Lois

Napping By Daddy

 Good morning,

Lily is certainly a family dog.  She goes to work with Catherine most days where she gets socialization with clients and friends who want to meet her (who wouldn't?), loves to nap by Daddy on the patio, and plays tug a war with me.  She also enjoys the dinners I make for all the pups.  Food is a primary motivator with all of our dogs.

After all that, sometimes you just have to take a nap by Daddy with your blue lizzard.

Precious!

We are enjoying the puppy days.

Queen on Her Throne

 Good morning,

Our little Lily is growing by leaps and bounds.  She has proclaimed she is Queen (lots of competition here!) and just loves the Deck Chair for Doggies.

We have had great weather for all of us to be outside lately so the pups are all getting lots and lots of exercise and play time.

Ah, yes, loving dogs.  I hope you've had the privilege to love and be loved by dogs.

All the best,

Lois

Elsa and Lily

 Good morning,

When we introduced Lily to our other pups, Erik, Wendy, and Elsa, it was Elsa who was overcome with joy.

 Elsa and Lily love playing together.  Lily is very self confident and has no problem with the big dogs.  Of course, she had plenty of them at her breeder's home, too.

 Tug A War is a favorite game when Elsa and Lily aren't doing zoomies through the house and yard.

Our older pups, Wendy and Erik, are staying out of the way and mostly observing.  Erik is very good with puppies and tolerates Elsa climbing on him.  Wendy wants to know when we are taking that new kid back.  ;)  

The introduction of Lily to our pack has gone very well.  We've been through this before and know they will all become best friends within a few days.  

Enjoy!
