Now that is a load in that bowl. Little sweeties.
Leslie

OMG, what a sweet pic! Just think of all the puppy breath you get to smell---Lucky

Donna (^_^)

I am so glad you took a minute to take that picture! That is just too cute. I am in puppy love over your new pups!

Now that is just to dang cute!
And what a great idea to put them in a bowl!
I think I should have one!!!

All are going to be hairy.
Maybe not as hairy as Tuffy but will have that 'bad hair day' look about them.

Okay Jen.
You can have one, after the first five are picked out.
Can you imagine?
I have had deposits from five people since last June to hold a puppy from this batch?

Lori

Oh My GOSH...they are soooooooo cute. I haven't been around a puppy that small in a very long time. I love puppy breath!! I want to just hold one.

Lori, you always take the best pics!

The puppies are sooo cute with their little pink muzzles and fat little bellies. Great idea to put them in a bowl to transport them. LOL

I love the smell of sweet puppy breath too.

Anne

OH! The little pink noses! I want the tri-coloured one at the bottom. If I start driving now, will I get there in time to pick it up when it's weaned LOL?

Very cute. What breed are they?

Sheri/CA

Dances, you nut.
You sound like one of those impossible story-math problems...

If Lori's adorable puppies are four days old at 1pm January 7 in Randolph, Utah and ride easily in a blue, four quart plastic bowl from the basement to the upstairs bathroom what time will Dances (with Ruby and DD) have to leave Canada to pickup the tricoloured puppy at the bottom of the bowl at weaning age? What will her MPH speed be, factoring in food, potty and walk breaks for Dances, Ruby and DD? If she fuels up in Canada and again in the States what will her mile per gallon ratio for the entire trip be? From Ontario to Utah only?

LOL

Lori

Oh, how sweet! What breed(s) are they?

Glad to hear you got the washer going and it wasn't much. Too bad you didn't get to see him fix the 'coupling' so you'd have experience for the next time. The 'coupling' is a new wrinkle with me.

Sue

And following up on the story problem..

Give your answer in both kilometers and miles.

I'm sorry Sheri.
Yours and Dances reply came in the same time and I didn't see your question.

They are bearded collies/border collie mix and are adorable.

The grandmother (Tip) to these puppies was half Bearded Collie and the grandfather (Top) a full blood border collie. My dog Tuffy is Tip and Top's daughter.

Tuffy's full sister, Afton is Gabby's mother. Gabby's father is a working cow dog from Texas. Give me a few minutes and I'll think of the breed.

I bred Gabby to Tuffy's spittin' image full brother, Whiskers. Gabby and Whiskers have some very nice puppies together.
All are characters and are looking to belong to someone.
I just love em!

Here is a link that might be useful: bearded collies

I'm telling you, Lori- submit this picture to the Page-A-Day dog calendar for 2009! I bet they'll take it and all your pups will be famous little fatties!

The answer is- if Dances left tonight she would be there by tomorrow night (if she drove straight thru) which she would because she'd be too excited to sleep!

That is SO cute, Lori! Mama done good... :-)

Dagnabit, Lori, quit posting pictures of those wonderful puppies. Cause if you don't, I might be forced to drive up there, camp out on your porch, wait until the 5 depositees make their pick, wait for Jenni to pick, grab the last one and flee back to TX. Your neighbors would be very uneasy seeing a buzzard camped on your porch for that long.

Oh yeah, I could beat Dances there too!

They're so sweet! Could you send me the bowl full of puppies so I can pet them, and hold them, and play with them, and sniff their puppy breaths? I'll send them back to you and Gabby...after Harry and BeeGee get to play and sniff with them, too, of course. LOL

They both love puppies! Harry's surprisingly gentle with tiny dogs. He's normally such a rough, clumsy doofus, but he gets all "maternal", or perhaps avuncular, with puppies.

Now THAT is just the cutest thing I've seen in a looonnngggg time! I can just imagine the heat those fat little bodies give off. I don't even want a puppy at this time (have two older dogs already) but I WANT one of those! haha

How can you tell they are going to be the long hair type?

Is that last pic of Tuffy, Gabby or Whiskers? They are REALLY intent on something! Love it.

Smooch one of those fat, hot puppy bellies for me,'K? And keep taking those adorable pictures.

OMG...this is absolutely the sweetest picture I've ever seen...it needs to be on a calendar!!

You're being a good grandma...and you know Gabby's just protectin her kids from the dreaded washin machine man....LOL...that was a smart move puttin them in the washtub...

How cute!!!

I love the picture of the adult dog...is that Tuffy?

You really know how to put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing that precious picture.

Linda

Now buzzard.
You know darn good and well my neighbors would have no problem if a BAB showed up at my house. You've been here before and there were no problems whatsoever.
LOL

I can tell the puppies will have unruly hair because it is sticking up already. As they get older I will be able to stroke their hair the wrong way and it'll stand up. When they get older the hair will stick up on it's own...no mousse necessary.

Yes, Marilyn, that is Tuffy. She is the one who got a fungal infection in her nose and mouth when she was a puppy (after Custer MADE ME spay her!) and we either had to put her down or spend $1200 fixing her. She's still here so you know which option I took.

LOL

Now remember, there are only two puppies left, unless one of the depositees backs out (I'll give them a refund. I don't want to make a killing on my dogs....just get them into a good home) you guys will either have to roll dice and draw numbers for the remaining two. I expect a fair game and good sportsmanship from all puppy participants....okay?

LOL

Lori

Oh, sure. Fair is fair, and it is best to be a good sport. *practicing her 'thumb-in-the-eye' technique*. I wouldn't THINK of fighting unfairly *packing a lead pipe down her pant leg*. After all, we are all friends, aren't we? *Now. Where did I put that chloroform?*

Bwa-ha-ha-haaaaa!

Shhhh Dances, don't give away all of your stealing techniques. Lori is thumb and pipe savvy or didn't you know. I mean, she lives in the wide open plains at the foot of huge mountains in Utah. The woman cut her teeth on a Colt 45. :)

There are some lucky pup parents out there somewhere Lori. Can't wait to hear who qualifies for the last two.

Dances, Ontario to Utah; I'm thinking you have to go through Minnesota. Pick me up and I'll help with gas and driving and we can be in Utah before anyone else around here even knows what's going on. We'll take the last 2 pups and be headed for home in less than 24hrs.
Just in case we run into opposition from some of the "others" around here I'll pack my taser.

Ron

*snort*

You guys are nuts and I love it!

Chloroform?
A taser?

Wow. All that arsenal for two mutt puppies.

Does this mean Dances will be Cruella? What's Cruella's male counterpart...? (I don't remember.)*G*

While you two are planning your dognapping remember Gabby is extremely protective....more aggressive than protective really. I think she suffers from a form a doggie post partum depression. She will give you some trouble.....is THAT why you'll be packin' a taser Ron? And Dances? Chloroform is only effective if you get close enough.

LOL

lori

Regarding fair play and sportsmanship:

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

carry on....

LOL

hehehehehehehehehehehe...

...while Dances and Ron fight off Gabby...buzzard sneaks away with puppies...

OK. What if I send this to your door? (I'll wipe his face off.) "Pleeease can I have a puppy?" Those big blue eyes are a weapon in themselves! Resist that!

He dreams of puppies!

That's my youngest. He asks for a puppy every Christmas!

Stop!
Stop NOW Stephanie!
A blue eyed little boy (not unlike you blue eyed little charmer) has already hoodwinked me TWICE into trading a puppy for MaryKay products. No, he assured me, he doesn't sell makeup but his Mom does and she'll pay up front and he'll work it off with her.

Lori who has a soft spot for cute little kids....

That is adorable..simply adorable!

Gosh I coudln't imagine what kind of flesh eating monster my Jilly would be if she whelped! She's already a "nipper".
