Food - For ME

Lowri - TM made food tonight.  It was great!  It is all for ME!  Well, Kevin can have a little, but those gluttonous puppies aren't going to get ANY of it.  You wouldn't believe how much they ate of MY food!  TM was going through two big pans of the raw food every week.  She couldn't make enough to last.  She was even stretching it with kibble.  They would have eaten the walls if TM hadn't been watching.

Kevin and I got to clean up for TM.  It was great!  At the point where only one head would fit in the pan, I assured Kevin that the one head was MINE.  TM got testy!  She kicked me out of the pan.  Kevin got to do the dishes.  So NOT fair!

Kevin - TM is playing a new game with me.  She puts a board down and I have to put my front feet on it.  If I do, I get a treat!

Lowri - And that is another thing.  I got stuffed in a crate while Kevin played the game.  BOO!  I want to eat all the food I got to eat when the puppies were a couple of weeks old.  I was getting FOUR times what I get now!

Kevin - Then TM took me for a walk.  We didn't go too far because it was COLD.  I got to play the show dog game - <snicker>  more treats for me.  Poor Lowri got left in the yard.  TM did give her some treats just for being pretty.

My New Word

Lowri - The new word I learned today must be really, really bad!  TM has been muttering it a lot.  She has been going through lots of little papers and saying the bad word, then rubbing her temples.  The new word is taxes.  Whew, I am going to stay out of her way and then cuddle with her tonight.

Kevin - The pieces of paper that have dropped on the floor taste pretty good.  Unfortunately, there are no puppies here to blame the toothmarks on.  WAIT!  "I" am still a puppy!  Do you think I can play that card?

The Puppies are Gone

Lowri - I don't understand how this works.  I had my babies in November.  I was so busy, I barely had time to tell TM my thoughts.  I did everything for them.  As the weeks went by, I got over them being so self-absorbed.  If I stuck my nose in the puppy pen to clean up their breakfast, they mobbed me to get a snack.  I mean, they had just eaten - and they ate almost ALL of what TM had given them.  They are supposed to leave some for me, but apparently no one told them.

Finally, I told TM I just wasn't interested in being with them any more.  I thought I would finally share some of my thoughts on motherhood, but TM was suddenly too busy to listen.  That went on for another four or five weeks!  FINALLY, TM has some time to listen to me and let me sit on her lap.

All of my babies are gone.  We found them some fabulous homes!  TM has heard back from everyone.  They love my children.   Of COURSE they do!  These are MY babies!  Anyway, I am contentedly sitting on TM's lap, ready to share my thoughts.  I think motherhood is for...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  

Kevin - <snicker> Lowri is out.  Not much in the way of thoughts to share right now.

I had a very important job with this litter - besides being their father.  I got to spend a LOT of time with them teaching them Cardigan stuff.  I played and played with them.  I was very gentle.  TM was proud of the good job I did.  Here are a couple of the pictures of me being a good daddy.

Puppy Party and After

Lowri - We had the puppy party yesterday.  Ms. Cathy came down and looked at all of my babies.  There were a bunch of people.  They pet on me and my babies.  It was great.  There was even food!  I didn't get much of the food (TM was watching), but I did get lots of scritches.

Kevin - I kept my eyes on all of my babies.  There were a LOT of people touching them.  Even Ms. Cathy noticed how I was keeping watch over them.  I was very, very good.  I only barked a couple of times.  TM said I was a good boy.

Here I am keeping watch.

Lowri - Today, my babies, the ones that didn't go to their new homes, got to be real dogs.  We went out and herded ducks!  My babies were awesome!  I was so proud of them.

Stacked Puppy Photos

Lowri - MC came up and took a bunch of photos of my babies - including Kevin and Fable.  She took 999 photos!  Seriously!!  It was the first time my babies were on a stacking box.  They were all fabulous.

Here are some of TM's favorites.

I got to go HERDING!

Lowri - I got to go HERDING!  TM and I worked with ducks first and then I got to herd sheep.  TM told me how good I was - a lot.  I did nice, wide outruns.  I stopped when TM told me to.  I put the sheep in the round pen and moved them through the chute.  I was brilliant.  Just ask me!

Kevin - I cut my pad.  It isn't bad, but I am limping a little bit.  TM didn't let me go herding.  I didn't get to do much of anything.  I consoled myself by spending the evening on TM's lap.

Lowri - My babies spent their first night locked in crates.  They did really well.  TM took them out to potty at midnight and then got up at 6:30 to let them out again.  I have noticed that they make a LOT of noise.  TM and PR agree with me.  TM keeps saying "One more week, one more week."  But everyone agrees that my babies are VERY cute.
