Just an update on the puppies at 8 weeks. Here are 3 new movies. Taking pictures of dark puppies is not easy. lol
The first 2 were taken last night, when they were tired. The last one was first thing this morning (not so tired - lol). Star is the one with her ear folded back in the last video.

Dr. Seuss Puppies First Meal
Contributed by Aphrodite and her puppies' foster mom
This morning the puppies had their first ever 'real' food. They did really well for their first time. Then they curled up in a pile and went to sleep. :-)
There they are!

Dr. Seuss Puppies Learn to Play
Contributed by Aphrodite and her puppies' foster mom
Aphrodite's puppies were 4 weeks old yesterday and they are just learning how to play. I can't send you puppy breath through the blog, so I took this movie for you to watch. This was taken at 7 a.m., if I sound a little 'blurry'. lol

Their personalities are just starting to blossom. Here's what we've learned so far.
Mulberry likes toys, especially balls that she can push around with her nose. She also likes to pounce. She gives a little hoppity-skip when she does it.
Lori doesn't let anybody push her around. She's a very brave little girl. She's also the littlest of the group, but oh so cute!
Horton is our vocal boy. He wants to tell you ALL about it. (all about ANYTHING).
Star is the biggest in the litter right now. She is the typical cairn princess and likes to boss the others around.
Mooney is our quiet boy. He likes to play best with Mulberry, who is also quiet.
Yertle likes to play with the boys. He and Horton are pretty rough and tumble. Yertle also has the biggest paws. We call him our teacup Newfie. ;-)
Aphroditie and her puppies are being fostered in Missouri. They are not yet available for adoption.

Aphroditie's puppies - Videos of each one and current weights of every pup!!
Contributed by Aphrodite and her puppies' foster mom
This morning when I weighed the puppies I noticed little bitty slits in their
eyes. I imagine a couple of them will have their eyes open by tomorrow! Wahoo!
Watch out Ditie. They can FIND you now! MWAHAHAHAHAAHA
By the 'weigh' - at the weighing - Three of them are over 1 pound! Star, Yertle, and Horton are the BIG KIDS in the bunch. :
Star - 16.6 oz
Yertle 17.9 oz
I thought the easiest way for you to see what the puppies look like is to see them in a video. They'll be two weeks old tomorrow. Check out the big yawns and their little feet. Oh, except for Yertle. Check out his big feet! Please click on their names if you are unable to see the embedded videos.

Aphrodite (Ditie) has 6 healthy puppies! 3 girls and 3 boys: We have pictures!
Written by 'Ditie' and her pups foster mom
It's happened! Aphrodite, the pregnant Cairn who was rescued from the OH hoarder has already given birth to 6 pups, 3 girls and 3 boys and all healthy weights!
This little girl truly IS the best dog ever. She walks beside you on a leash or dragging a leash in the backyard (while in labor). She comes when she's called. She waited until I'd had my shower this morning to whelp her puppies.
Ok, I was ALMOST dried off, but still, I think that's pretty good! And she was finished whelping 6 healthy puppies in 4 1/2 hours! (She'll even put her paws up on the side of the whelping box and give me kisses on my face.)
Here is a note from a very reputable breeder on why the babies are dark when she is so light:
With genetics, you are not breeding to the sire or the dam but rather to the grandparents and going back from there generations that compound in number if you breed in close family lines.
This is why when breeders who show spend so much time with pedigrees and traits, colors, health within those pedigrees. An example is that you can have a wheaten Mom and Dad but you can get the genes from compounded family members where in actuality you are introducing more BLACK from doubling up on other family members.

FROM A HOARDER ... TO CP'S FAMOUS LOVERS- WE HAVE PICTURES!
Written by CP's VP of Intakes
Valentine's Day...is a day for love and romance...to be close to someone special. Everyone wants to be loved and have someone to love. That includes the more than 100 dogs seized in the Medina, OH incident this past weekend. From what we know, these poor creatures lived in deplorable conditions; cramped cages, their own filth and excrement, fighting for food and water. They didn't know love or comfort.
Maybe it's symbolic ... Valentine's Day, February 14...a day filled with Famous Lovers and their stories. Col. Potter has identified 14 of the dogs as Cairns and all will be coming into the CP family. They will now learn what it is to be loved and cared for and create their own stories of Famous Lovers. This is a major undertaking for CP with a group of this size while still being able to help the other Cairns that need us. We will be announcing a fundraiser shortly to help support the Famous Lovers. We still have much to learn about CP's Famous Lovers as far as their condition, age and temperament, but today these Famous Lovers finally have someone to love and care about them--their CP family. Introducing CP's Famous Lovers:
Please save a special place in your heart today for these babies, CP's Famous Lovers. It is only through the support and generosity of you, CP's supporters that make helping these furkids possible. Today is truly a day of love and caring ... WELCOME FAMOUS LOVERS!!!
You can also donate by clicking on the Chip-In link at the top of this page. Thank you for you continuing support of Col. Potter.
