Hi All,
I just sent in the application for AKC registration for the pups... DN307719 is our litter number. As a breeder of merit, the AKC asks that we register all the pups in the litter. I can do this for you all at a discounted rate of $10 per pup (vs $25) but would need names for them all before sending in the application.

If I have names for everyone before it is time for them to leave home, I'll be happy to do it.

I believe I will name my puppy 'Briarlea Nightingale of Rustic Road' to stay with the Bird theme of Lark, Steller Jay, Blackbird...

The pups have really come to life the last couple of days and are vigorous and ACTIVE! WooHoo!

Puppy pictures from this morning. They are beginning to toddle about a little bit.

The pups are doing fine, I've moved them off the front porch into our little addition...this is right off the laundryroom that leads into the kitchen. This morning there is a load of laundry going already, Solo's in the kitchen keeping me company and hoping for a goodie and Birdie's keeping him there. We usually have a great old Navajo rug on the floor but for obvious reasons it's been pulled up ~ at any rate, it turns out this room is perfect for pups!

We've been having storms again today; in Minneapolis a tornado touched down and wreaked havoc. But we did manage to upload this little clip.

Eyes just starting to open...

The pups still have their eyes closed although this morning I noticed one of the female pups sitting up which is a little odd for as young as they are!

A little afternoon snack :)
