Eyes Wide Open

Is there really anything better than waking up to a pool full of puppies looking up at you? Our last hold out White finally opened up yesterday. That means today was worming day! Let me tell you, it really helps to be prepared.

Here I am with all my supplies ready.

I decided to weigh them because they just seemed so big to me. All their information follows. I sure hope you take a liking to one of them and go immediately to www.mikeyschance.com for an adoption application. They are going to go fast. As you know mom is a lab mix and dad apparently is a black lab that jumped the fence - and is huge and gorgeous. I don't doubt that because these puppies are huge and gorgeous. They will be celebrating three weeks on Tuesday.

The weigh in started with yellow. Yellow is a handsome boy that has found his voice. He likes to growl and bark. He is walking around a little now, although does fall over often:) He has an adorable black and pink nose, a white spot on his chin, nose, chest and the tip of his tail. Today he weighed 2.75 lbs. He has a big head and is one of the boys. Meet "Yellow"....

Next up was Pink. This little girl is a carbon copy of her mama and she is looking more chocolate than black right now. Pink likes to cuddle with her brothers and sisters and is just adorable with her white chest, and white tips on hind toes. This morning she weighed 3.0 lbs. Wow is she getting big. Pink is a mover and a shaker. She likes to stretch her legs and walk around, jump on her siblings, and climb on mamma.

Light Blue is another one of my fabulous girls! She weighed in today at 3.0 lbs. She is quite a talker and when you pick her up she has nothing but a million puppy kisses to give you. She has a small white spot on her chest and chin. Is she black? Is she chocolate? Not sure yet on this one. Time will tell.

White is another one of my BIG boys.  Today he weighed in at 3.25 lbs.  He has white on his throat and chest but the rest of him is black - and another Big Head Todd.  White sleeps alot, but when he wakes up he is attached to mom.  No wonder he is getting so big.

Blue and Green.  These two boys go together because they are so much alike in every way.  They are the biggest of all the puppies - each weighed in at 3.5 lbs today.  They are both most definately black with massive heads.  Each has some defining white spots.   They are both sweet as can be and come to the edge of the pool whenever I sit beside it and just look up with me - that is if they can tear themselves away from poor mamma who gets no rest with these two around.  Gorgeous pups.

The final two girls will hold a special place for me!  I totally adore Orange because she was the first to open her eyes, bark, and climb.  She is full of life and very sure of herself.  She comes to me when I sit by the pool and is interested in exploring.  She is a solid chocolate color.  Orange weighed in at 3.0 lbs this morning.  Red was the second to open her eyes.  She is so sweet and gives lots of licks when you are holding her.  She also tried to suckle my nose, which was adorable.  Red weighed in just slightly ahead of her sister at 3.1 lbs.

So there are all the pups.  They have been doing great as you can see and will need forever homes pretty soon!  Mikey's Chance is committed to matching owners with dogs that will work.  Please take the time to visit their website and complete an application for one of the pups.  Before we know it summer will be  coming to an end and they will be ready for their forever homes.  Don't miss out on your chance to adopt a fabulous pup and help out a great rescue organization.
