Growing up pups

I think we've all waited long enough without seeing some new puppy pictures. So here they are, fresh from the adopters' Facebook pages or the Allison group pup page. Thank you everyone for sharing pictures of your precious puppies. (I hope I got everyone's names right.)

I'll start with Malala because she's still looking for a home.

She weighed in at 27 pounds and got a nail trim.

That's something that I never did with this pups that everyone should do

as soon as possible, trim their nails, just a bit to get them used to it now.

Malala is living with her sister Harriet (Lainey) for now.

And here's Lainey Boe (formerly Harriet) with her new big brother.

This has got to be one of my favorite post-adoption pictures. 

Aida (formerly Rosa)

Aida is lucky to have that big white fur ball to snuggle with.

They will soon need a much bigger bed if the snuggling is to continue.

Adele (formerly Amelia)

Adele has a boxer brother who is being very tolerant.

Bertie (formerly Sojo)

Dolly

Dolly's legs are growing fast. She wants to be a tall girl.

This is Gussie (formerly Ruth), displaying that self-assuredness

that all the merle girls seemed to have.

Gussie is a smart one too.

Torte (formerly Eleanor)

I guess this is a child's swing, but it sure looks like a hanging toy or a rope toy 

that Torte would have been familiar with from here, and she's playing with it accordingly.

Irma (formerly Susan) looking very comfortable and cozy.

Irma snuggled in a blanket.

Elliot

This is not really a good thing to teach your dog.
