 All dressed up in the PM's lovely collars. (see our page on Puppy ID collars)

Good old TD is also in the picture again to show how the puppies have grown.

Dusty really loves the soft toys. Most of the toys used to belong to Aunty Muffin who passed away last year at the age of 16. The PM was crying this week. It would have been Aunty Muffin's birthday on the 7th. The PM still misses her very much. I curled up on her feet to try and make her feel better.

Dawson saying "I love my shishter Daizy"

Mini-me's at play. They really love their new enlarged territory and play vigorously.

The PM jokes and says that the house belongs to the Schnauzers and that she is a working guest. Especially at puppy time :)

All fall down. The PM loves to watch the puppies play and then suddenly settle down to rest.

Even old Foxy looks worn out.

First introduction to Hills Science Diet - mmmmmm. Loving it.

We are SO proud of the puppies that are using the artificial grass to potty on so early in life..

Well - mostly. The PM has had a few surprises. Like a number 2 placed neatly in the water feeder.

I, of course have been giving them 'the Speech' from day one.

 Sunday was the puppies' first time in the outside play area.

While others are curious, Dawson's expression says it all: Are you going to leave us HERE??

Dozer looks out at the big wide world. Schnauzer pose perfected. 

Makes me so proud that I could just burst out of my fur.

Introducing the litter.... 

What lovely names the PM has chosen.

New owners are of course welcome to choose whatever names they wish.

Our names are for ID purposes only. It just sounds better than 'the red boy' etc.

The PM of course likes to coochee-coo and tickle tummies while calling them by name.

We often get jealous of all the attention the pups get, but we love how she loves our babies.

October 8 to 11, 2014

The PM thinks this is the look that my lovely Lulu is giving me says in People language 

"see what you've done to me?"

All the while she is saying "How I wish she would put that camera away"

Somehow the PM got this photo out of focus, but I asked her to post it anyway.

It is to show size by comparison to TD (The Dog on the right which is part of the family but certainly not one of ours)

Four days old and already the birthing collars have had to be replaced.

My lovely wife Lulu is so content. 

Not as content as the puppies though - aren't they too gorgeous for words?

My lovely wife Lulu and I have perfected the recipe!

4 Boys and 3 Girls again.

We are healthy and much loved and the PM has just let us be.

It took a few years but we have finally convinced her that there is NO way she will keep us from honeymooning when Lulu is in the mood and doesn't have a headache, Ha ha.

This photo shows Lulu being the wonderful mother that she is soon after Dawson made his appearance. There was no hurling from me this time. I stood broad and brave throughout the birthing process.
