So many wee buns in the oven

So many wee buns in the oven baking away just perfectly.
I was able to capture a video at least of Meiko and Isla's pup dancing the jig on my ultrasound screen this week. Yet another benefit of owning your own machine, you get to check in on pups as often as you'd like. Leia pups are also there and viable, just not quite busting a move out yet for me to see. All look great though.Â
Meiko is getting bigger now by the day. These last 3 weeks is where the most growth happens both internally for the babes and to the external eye. The belly bump gets rounder and now more apparent.Â
Â
Isla also has a beautiful belly bump that will also soon explode bigger in the weeks ahead. But she's definitely showing loud and proud now!
Leia is thick and has lost her waist line. Her small frame holds her pups tucked up for quite some time but I'm sure by next week she won't be able to hold the fact that she's in full blossoming mode. Â
All 3 mamas get pampered daily with brushing, trimming, pats, snuggles, a touch more food and a few extra treats. Â
Â
Neema and Anya tussle and tassel around everyone and exude enough combusting energy for us all. These beautiful half sisters are looking so similar these days! I'm loving how they are growing up. Both are sweet as pie but Anya is my little love bug for sure. Whenever she stops playing, she is right beside me sitting on my foot looking up for love. She's been so incredibly easy to raise and such a joy around here.
And Tonka supervises it all. He watches Meiko grow.. overlooks the other 2 mamas to make sure the kids don't chew on their legs too much as they pass by.. puts Neema in her place if she chomps on Anya's ear too hard and just holds space for anyone or anything that he needs to. He's in my lap in a second when I try to remotely take his photo or even look in his direction. If I'm anywhere near him he's right beside me. Not demanding like Meiko is, just content being in my bubble. My sweetest boy.Â
All the dogs have thoroughly enjoyed the revamped spool village this week. Up and over full speed.. down and under and hiding and rolling off the side done completely on purpose repetitively. Neema has started to do parkour off the side of the table tops. She’ll run full speed up on top of them and then huck herself sideways and land on all 4 at once. It’s hilarious really! I’m not sure I can capture it on video but I’m going to try this week. Anya loves the hiding aspect and sneak attacks an ankle at every chance she can get. Endless entertainment around here for sure!
Organizing is happening, restocking is done, files updated and all my ducks are slowly getting back in line for what’s ahead. Yard work is kept up; family visits happen at every chance I can get right now and all my pre birth planning is in order.
Â
Now we just let mother nature do what it does best. I support it all and do what I can to make sure all these miraculous little beings arrive safe and sound on the other side. So many eager happy anticipating families waiting for these beauties, I am blessed beyond the stars to be working with each and every one of these exceptional families.
