Gale and Tucker are expecting!

Gale and Tucker are expecting their first litter on May 8th.  Below are pictures of Gale and Tucker.  Also pictured are some of Gale's previous puppies with another stud.  

Aunt EM's Dorothy Gale, the proud mama!

          Tucker--The expectant daddy!

Below are pictures of the puppies from Gale's previous litter (stud dog, Macon) taken between 4 hours old and 6 days old.  They are getting bigger by the day and mama is doing a great job taking care of them.

Momma with her puppies just a few hours old.  She is so proud!

Nursing and sleeping that's what puppies do!

Another puppy makes an excellent pillow!

The following pictures were taken when the puppies were 2 to 3 weeks old.  They all opened their eyes this week and learned how to use their legs.  They are running around the whelping box and letting their presence be known.  Grandma Emmy is taking turns babysitting and nursing.  

Of course, they do also still love to sleep!

                We call this a puppy pile!

Sometimes the best way to sleep is across your brothers and sisters!

I'm awake and checking you out!

Learning to eat puppy chow, I'll just take the whole pan!

Busy afternoon, but there is always time for puppy kisses and being held!

I just want to be held!

Hey guys, where should we start looking first, there is so much to see!

Make sure you take time to stop and smell the flowers.

It sure is hot outside, I think we should sleep by the water bowl.

I don't care what anyone thinks, I love to be held!

Puppies below are now 5 weeks old.

Hey guys, what's going on over there?

We like hanging out in the cool grass!

Hey guys, wait for me!

Hey good looking!

Checking out the chickens, not sure what they are all about.

Let us in, we want to play with you guys!

Hey guys, I am ready to go back into the puppy palace, want to come?

OK, here we come!

Me, too, wait for me!

Hanging out in the tall grass is lots of fun.

I have a serious side too and can focus on the world around me.

Boy Jenny, your hand smells great!  What is the name of that soap?

I'm a happy puppy!
