Easter Basket - April 14, 2009


This post is very late, because mom's been busy and I'm down in Bellevue with dad, so I couldn't remind her. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We didn't have an egg hunt, the weather was too ugly up on the island. Mom wanted to dye the puppies pastel colors before putting them in the basket, but Nana Kathy said "No way!" She tried to colorize them in her photo software, but it wasn't the same and in the end, they settled for this. It is cute though. I'm sure you're wondering where the other three are - mom couldn't get eight in the basket. This is Connor, Houdini, Abby, Bunny and Maggie. It took about 50 shots, to get this one - they wiggle around so. The whole litter are over achievers. They have already started trying to walk and sit up and they are drinking goat's milk out of a bowl already. Mom didn't let me have that stuff until I was 5 weeks old and these guys are only 3 weeks today. Sheesh, some people's children. Oh well, I'll try to tell you all about my adventures with dad when I get back. He's taking me to a field trial this weekend. Hope I see some bunnies.

Later,
Dash

Photo Shoot - April 1, 2009


The weather is really crappy. It's your typical Seattle area spring - rain, rain and more rain. The down side is, we're stuck inside. I could go out in the yard, but why, it's mostly mud right now and mom would just make me wipe my feet when I come in. I hate it when she wipes my feet.

Mom snuck out to Nana Kathy's tailer this morning and snagged a picture of the new babies. They were a week old yesterday, and mom and Nana are obsessed with their weight. You'd think they were ballet dancers or wrestlers or something. Anyway, I guess they're all getting enough to eat because everybody has put on a few ounces since they were born - even the smallest guy, Houdini.


Mom and Nana decided today would be a good day to photograph everyone, so of course we were all relegated to the kitchen behind the x-pen. Elektra and Ganny Mitzi are obsessed with the babies and all they want to do is clean them - go figure. Anyway, we watched while this little sqirmers got their first portraits done. It was quite the production. I felt like we were hanging out at some photo shoot for a magazine or something.


Mom thought you would all like to get a good look, so here they are in the order of their birth - Connor, Mirage, Abby, Bunny, Preston, Maggie, Trixie and Houdini (Harry). I'll try to keep you updated as they grow. Hopefully it won't be too long before they're running around. Maybe they can help me beat up Cedar and Dolly.

Later,
