On January 23 Asa had six puppies. Recently, I found a set of puppy pictures when cleaning out the CF memory on my camera and decided to throw them together. There are pictures from their first excursion downstairs away from their warm cozy bed into the cold of February. There also were issues with complicated things like food bowls. Then we have pictures from March, when a rare snow storm blanketed the area. By this time the puppies were living out in the heated workshop (where the puppies still live). There are non-software pictures of the early days of the puppies, but they still need to be scanned in, so there is much more to come.
We kept two of the puppies, Banshee (named so because she spent the first couple of days of her life wailing like one), and Champ, named for his tendency to be a champion for his family, regardless of the size of the aggressor. We found the other 4 puppies good homes (it was really easy to find them new humans; just taking them to the flea market had people oohing and aahing over them).
There was also the episode of Banshee and Essie taking off for 4 days when they were 6 weeks old, but that is another story (and another set of pictures).
Banshee and Champ can be seen in more recent pictures and you can see how fast they are growing. Four months, and already they are over 30 pounds each.
You must view this story individually to see the images.)
