Little eyes, as yet unfocused, peek out, then roll and sway to the rhythm of soft, round bellies pushing into other swollen pots.  Claws grasp and grip siblings noses, ears or tails; all, in search of Dez. These sweet, soft, furry newborns are already learning to push up on their forepaws.  A marvelous milestone as they develop and mature at the speed of light.  Much, much too quickly – this infantile newborn stage is too brief.  (…said the casual observer.  Kudos to Rob’s unceasing attention!)

Their first photo session required a raised table – without the lift their petite bodies would be just bits of tawny fluff in the grass – bellies or not.  The puppies were photographed on the 15th day after their birth.

Mewing, snuffling exploration is quiet, then piercing, then interrupted by a unique miniature sneeze or robust yawn, followed next by a sudden return to twitchy puppy sleep.   So much to do and so little time in between naps!

All this charm mixes with an old milk smell while claws urge the holder to hug back; hold fast.  The experience makes one certain that angels come in many forms.

Dez loves her babies.  Sydney and Kiwi love the babies.  Every person who sees these pups loves them.  These new pups are well loved!!

Labradoodle or Portugese Water Hound?

Woke up to interesting news this morning … at least for me.  President-elect Barak Obama confirmed today that one of the alternatives for the Obama household is a Doodle.  A Labradoodle.  What a wonderful mix.  Ours is almost two years old, and it has been a pleasure to have his company.  Below is a photo when he was about four weeks old and we only had visitation rights at that point   Couldn’t wait to get him home.  He was born in Newtown Square, PA, outside Philadelphia.  If everything goes well, his mom should have another litter of puppies at the end of this month.

For more on President-elect’s comments you can go to George Stephanopoulos’ ABC News blog: George’s Bottom Line.

To view the Doodles I had a pleasure to photograph, click on this link and go to Galleries -> Doodles.
