Itty Bitty Babies!!

 They came really early Sunday morning! I missed the whole delivery. At 4:00 a.m. my husband said he thought he heard a puppy cry, so I jumped up, ran into the kitchen and expecting her to just be starting, counted five little pups.. But as Ashlie readjusted herself into a more comfortable position to nurse, I noticed another little white pup, so SIX puppies total! Crazy! Poor girl did it all alone.. She is the BEST mama..

 DOG PILE!! Literally.. :)

We have 4 Boys & 2 Girls.  Still deciding on names..

1- Liver Pepper Male

3- White Male           

1- White Female       

1-Salt & Pepper Female

(possible liver pepper, we'll be able to tell when her nose color comes in)

Let the Laundry Begin!!



Barefoot & Pregnant..

Here she is, not totally miserable, but not her playful-self! Look at that BELLY!! (sorry for the poor quality picture, I took it with my itouch..) She got her maternity cut today and we are expecting her puppies any day!!

Stealing Kisses..

Ashlie gets really spoiled by our two young'ns. She plays along with whatever they have imagined her to be. Sometimes a wolf, sometimes a super hero, sometimes she gets to dress up like Belle; But her favorite is when she gets to snuggle with her Bestie... Ash is a huge part of our family and is really more like a person than a puppy. She tends to pass this loving demeanor to her puppies.

UPDATE on ARIEL..

Here is Ariel, now Sabine, all grown up! I got this picture today and thought I would share! Ariel is registered liver/pepper in color. Hard to find good pictures of liver /pepper adults! Thanks for sharing Linda! She is a beauty, with a personality to match!

 Sabine, fka Ariel, is a delight to her family and friends! She is well behaved and is a LITTLE spoiled! She turns one this fall and has a darling personality.  

PRINCE..

 Shadow, fka Prince, lives up to his name and loves his partner in crime, Pepper. Shadow is a regal pup. Likes to play and follow pepper around. They both enjoy the grand kids and keep their new family entertained and on their toes!

BEAUTY..

 Lacey, fka Beauty, has grown up to be a gorgeous mega coated doll! She has a mellow personality and her family adores her!  She will be a year this fall.. So still a puppy in my eyes!   

SUPER HERO'S!! My kids included Ashlie, their trusty side kick, in their fight against evil.. Super hero's are a favorite around here! Ashlie tolerated it.. I'm not sure she felt alot of love though for the green lei that is tied around her head for a mask! Another reason I love this breed! Schnauzers are fantastic with KIDS!! talk about patience!
