Nap time?

Full tummy = Nap...in the dish.

Happy One Month, Little One!

BeBe and her siblings are a whole month old today!

Yes! Today!

She has gotten so big so quickly. It's almost magical to watch her go from a handful to a whole lap full of puppy in just a few weeks.

There is the Beebs with her Daddy. Don't they look alike? I think his inner voice would sound a lot like Mufasa.

Her bellybutton cracks me up. :)

She is such a beautiful little creature.

I think I am going to be one of those weird people who put clothes on their dog. I cannot help it! It really is partly because I've read that Boxers have a hard time with the cold and heat, so it would be nice to have something to keep her warmer in the winter and the rain off of her. ...but also because they have SUCH cute things for dogs! Ha ha ha.

D'awwww!

Today's update brings us TWO pictures!

She is three weeks old now and becoming more active.

 "...she loves to chew lol more than the others so I think lots of chewy toys are in order lol. She is the biggest pup now for sure and when she sleeps her wrinkles fall over her face. I tried the pups on some food yesterday no enticing needed they all devoured it. Especially her she laid in the middle of the dish hahaha. She walks pretty good now and has started playing with her brothers and sisters."

All of this brings such happiness to me. The more she grows, the more sure I am that she was exactly the right pup for me. She's becoming such a beautiful dog and I love that she will have a personality to match her adult size.

Steppin' Paws!

It is so exciting to see my little rascal getting up and moving!

There she is with her siblings, climbing all over each other. They have to gain muscle somehow, right? :)

I miss her silky little self very much! I can't wait until next month.

But for now, I'm reading up on puppy training and what to focus on at each stage of her puppyhood. It gives me something to do instead of sit here like "ZOMG Y PUPPY NOT HERE?????"

Seeing the World!

Today is a big day for BeBe...She opened her eyes. Soon, she'll be taking everything in and learning what is beyond her nest with a whole new sense to guide her.

I am just so proud of my little one.

The question is settled...

Today has been a long day. Most of it was spent in the hospital with my sister inlaw, who was having surgery. (She's fine. She may be small, but she's a feisty one.)

Then a long bus ride to the current residence of my future fur-baby.

This is BeBe.

I was shown all of the little darlings, but when she was lifted up for me to see, I knew that it was my puppy. Since I was sure, I was allowed to have some cuddle time with her, which she spent licking my chest and then falling asleep against me.

Boobs: Not just for decoration.

She is also the first of her large puppy family to have one of her eyes open. An overachiever. :)

I didn't want to put her down at all, but I obviously couldn't just move into this nice family's home and be that weird girl who sits in the corner rocking a puppy.

Meanwhile, back on the home front, preparations are being made for her arrival here. Our storage room, which is basically the size of a small bedroom, will become BeBe's room. It's going to be helpful in keeping her meals seperate from the kitty feeding area.

September seems so far away now, but luckily I will be getting updates from the family that I am adopting from. So there will be pictures and updates on her progress as we go.
