Around 3am this morning, Pepper woke Kim up to tell her it was time. How cute is that? :-) Pepper had 7... yes.. 7 gorgeous lil' puppies. Pepper was FAR bigger during her last pregnancy, so we did not think we would be expecting anything more than 5. max. First puppy was born at 3:15am and we thought that last one was born at 6:06am. Later today, Kim called and said... nope... there's 7! Since we weren't expecting any more, neither one of us counted them this morning. Pepper and her 7 puppies are doing well. Pepper is a great mom! The Doxie family watched & smelled the deliveries underneath the door. "Papa Sebby" had the right side of his face plastered to the floor so he could see what was going on. So... you see Sebby's nose & his brown eye... the whole time. :-) That's Sebastian for you. Everyone else took turns at the door.

Here's what Pepper had:
4 silver dapple boys
2 black & tan boys
1 black & tan girl
All ranging from 5.5 oz to 3 5/8 oz

How cute is that? :-)

Here's Miss Pepper... taking a nap after a BIG breakfast! Have to make LOTS of milk for those cute little puppies!

Sorry for the out-of-date blanket. :-) When you have pups, yo go through a lot of blankets, etc and you use anything you can find. Here are Pepper's pups sleeping together. AWWWW... How cute! :-) At this time, we have decided to not sell the little black/tan girl. She will more than likely be available for sale/adoption in the future, but just not at his time. She's the smallest in the litter (half the size of her brothers) and we want to make sure she gets big & strong before we even think about her going to her new home. The boys will be available and pics & prices are soon to follow. These are CKC registered.

Here's Duke at 16 days old. He has the most dapple markings of all the dapple boys.

Wolfgang... where did we get this name??? :-) Ok, so he looks like little Sebastian (Sebby) with his minimal dappling and calling him Junior was out of the question. Sebastian registered name is.... (drum roll please) "Wolfgang Sebastian Bark" Yes... Sebastian Bach, the composer has nothing to do with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. But... Sebastian technically is Kim's dog (althought Sebastian claims he is everyone's dog! *grin) so she named him. The "bark"... if you know Sebby... you know where that came from! So... since this little guy looks like Sebastian, he gets to follow his name somehow and Wolfgang it is or Wolfie. :-)

This little guy is soooo lucky! He's going to Florida to play on a dog beach!! I'm jealous! :-) Holly, Alan, and Gidget will be his new family. Holly & I talk often via email & I really have enjoyed our conversations! They haven't decided on a name for him yet. I affectionately call him Gizmo because when he lays on his back, he looks like the cute Gizmo on the movie, Gremlins. We also call him Lil' man :-)

Bo at 16 days old. Read Luke's caption on 8-11-06 and you'll see where Bo got his name. HA HA! :-)

Must be nice to be a puppy.... taking naps whenever you want to or when your siblings let you! :-) The little black & tan pup on top... on the bottom of the pic... that's the little Princess! :-) Tinkerbell is her name... ha ha. She's the smallest of both litters. She sure is adorable & is really figuring out just how adorable she is and how she can use that to her benefit! We don't have her listed yet as she is so small. We want to make sure she is 100% healthy before we list her as available. She sure will make a great little entertainer for a very lucky family.

HARD FOOD??? I DON'T think so!!! ha ha ha! :-) This seems to be the general consensus among the puppies. :-)
BTW: This is Holly's little man...

Here's Wolfgang & either Bo or Luke checking out this so called food. Sure doesn't look or taste like our puppy mash!

Hi! I'm Bo... As you can see I love playing & having my tummy rubbed. I love to cuddle & give LOTS of kisses! I'm a bit smaller than my look-alike brother, Luke, but that doesn't stop me. I still pounce on him and try to show him who's boss! :-) For the technical stuff: I'm CKC registered. My mom is Pepper & Dad is Rustin. And if you want to take me home, you'll have to chat with Kim and/or Alexi and make sure you pass with flying colors! They are pretty picky as to who we go home with. :-) ________________________________________________________________________________ Some more pictures of me... Taken Feb. 18 during a road trip to the park. I LOVE driving in the truck... always like to look out the window & go laydown in the backseat. The park was AWESOME... I got to run & see Ducks & tons of people. I was so tired at the end, but it was sooo worth it. Here's me with my toy. Like father, like son! ________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ New pics of me!! YEAH! :-) Taken Jan. '07
Sorry there's aren't too many face pictures of me without a toy in my mouth. I'm much like my daddy... always have to have a toy. :-) My brothers & me in our little bed (I'm on the left)...
I'm a stud muffin!

Look at me go! :-)

RUB MY TUMMY!!!

Update: Mr. Wolfie is SOLD. He will be going to a WONDERFUL family in Arizona. Tom, Wolfie's new dad, will be flying down here on Tuesday, April 17th. They have already bought him all kinds of stuff & he will be spoiled rotten for sure. We will miss him! ____________________________________________________________________________ Dapples are the cutiest... there's nothing like little dapple spots all over your Doxie... OK.. so that is a taste of my limited marketing skills since I'm just a puppy! :-) I'm Wolfgang... the only Silver dapple left! I was named after my Papa Sebby (Sebastian to the rest of the world). Rustin & Pepper are my parents and I'm the only dapple left... hmm... did I say that already?? :-) My brothers are Bo & Luke and Tinkerbell is my sister, but sometimes we pretend she's not around as she thinks she rules the roost... NOT! I'm energetic... love to cuddle... love to run around the house & play... I get along great with all of the Doxies in the house and the cats. I'm super sweet & would make a great addition to any family. My other 2 dapples brothers already have great families... one is in Houston area & the other one... his daddy came all the way from Florida to pick him up! If you're interested, please email or call and I'm sure someone will get back to you unless they are pinned down under a pile of Doxies... he he
_______________________________________________________________________________ New pics taken 1-25-07 I'm too sexy for my dapples.... too sexy for my dapples.... (Brownie points if you know what song that comes from... you might also date yourself in the process... ha ha)

NEW PICS!... 12-31-06

Who's the man?? I'm the man.... the handsome man with dapples! :-)

He ain't heavy... he's my brother... *uurrggg* :-)


Here's a pic of my back showing my minimal dapple markings....
DAPPLES RULE!!

This weekend was a weekend with many mixed emotions. I will elaborate during the next entries. Little Miss Tinkerbell finally found herself a family. Who can resist a face like that? :-) Her new mom is a stay-at-home mom with 3 kids, a husband, and a pomeranion named Max. Tinkerbell will definitely not be lacking attention or love or play time. Tinkerbell has always been very special to us as she was the smallest in the litter & had to be supplemented with a bottle. She was always the ruler of her brothers & told all the boys that she was boss. Smart girl! :-) Here's a pic of Tinkerbell in my truck. She loves car rides... loved going to the park (we even saw REAL ducks there). We will be staying in contact with her new mom. We'll miss you, Little Tink! :-) The house won't be the same without you. And yes... we do get attached... :-)
