Five Weeks Old

I guess I am a little overprotective; I waited until five weeks before letting the team enjoy the great outdoors. They love it!! I love it too, much less inside clean up!

One Week Old Puppy Pictures

I just wanted to post a few cute pictures. I love the one of "Blue Boy" AKA Michael Phelps, practicing his strokes in the scale. This is the boy who swam out! I also like the one of "Orange" reclined and relaxed. I always try so hard not to pick a favorite based on personality, especially this early, but this guy cracks me up already. I always like the boys........GRRRR!!

One Week Update!

Whew! Where has the time gone? I am not sure what I was thinking when I bred this litter knowing its due date was the same week as my "Back to School" week. Oh well, we have all survived and thanks to Oneder's excellent care the puppies are doing great. They are getting bigger and louder every day. Right now "Orange Girl" is the biggest weighing in at 17 1/8oz. and "White Girl" is the smallest at 11 oz. I actually have on pictures why there might be such a weight disparity between the two. Please note the pushy behavior of "Orange" and what happens to poor "White"!

Olympic Trivia! A Longhaired even!!

Waldi was the first official Olympic mascot. Created for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, he was a dachshund, a popular breed of dog from Germany, which represent the attributes required for athletes - resistance, tenacity and agility. Waldi was designed by Otl Aicher and modeled on a real dog, a long-haired Dachshund named Cherie von Birkenhof. Waldi's head and tail were blue and his body was stripes of the other Olympic colors.
