puppy parade

i brought the pups inside to play today, for the first time. i can't believe it, but their eyes are open! i don't think they can really see anything yet, as the eyes are sort of blue and cloudy, but they're open! they can also sort of crawl around a bit, which is new.

here's a little group shot











and this little guy is a boy, not a girl. i had thought they were perfectly divided, white heads were boys and greys were girls. but the darkest grey one is a boy!



a little girl,




and same girl, and a little boy.


this little guy loves the camera... look ma, no teeth!


here he is with his eyes open,


and again with his eyes closed.











here's the last little girl. she's really big and pudgy. sort of has a rosie o'donnell expression, if you ask me.







and here, both transvestites.








i might have missed one of the boys - some of the pics didn't turn out so well. bad lighting. but it should be warm all this week, so i'll give him his fifteen minutes soon. it's tricky still, telling them apart. maybe when they get a little bit bigger, i'll tie some different coloured strings around their necks.

if i didn't live in the garret of a house with two cats, i'd sooooo want to "rosie" to come and live with me!

oh no worries, you guys! i didn't mean to imply that you should adopt! i know you are cat people.

but, if you're chatting with someone and they mention how much they'd love a little husky pup...

i'm sure i can find good homes for all of them.

and to be honest... i'm still a bit annoyed with fiona for getting pregnant in the first place :p

Aaaaaqaarh! My eyes! So cute!

Rosie is a great name.

How is Fiona when you pick up the pups?

devious said...

she's fine. she didn't even mind when wingman picked one up. she likes to lick them while i hold them. they're still so helpless that she's got to lick their tushies to make them excrete. so she likes to do that while i hold them.

here's a curious fact that you might not know: puppy breath is bad. Puppy breath smells like skunk. Even before they start licking their own butts. bet you didn't know that!

Also, there's maybe a little Winston Churchill in there?

They are ADORABLE. I can't believe there are so many and they're all so dang cute! The pics were great.

Becky! Those dogs are AMAZINGLY CUTE!

You need to raise them and get a sled.

where do you see Winston? Rosie is bi?

wait a sec...

thanks for all the admiration, folks. and thanks mel for the warning. i'll try to keep him away from his sisters (and brothers?) once he learns to walk. they really are super cute.

i can't wait for the biting-each-others'-ears and tripping-on-their-own-faces stage. that's my absolute fave. i luuuuurve it.
