Christmas Eve 2010

Aunt Cheney makes a visit

Cheney is such an animal lover, she was really cut out to be a vet!  However, she's decided to work on real people instead and is in Med School at UGA.  We are very proud of her.  She make a first visit to the Lola babies on Christmas eve.  G-rod fell in love with her--sweet!

Little lover

Tupelo loves Mr. Ken...or maybe she's just really sleepy from the big Christmas dinner!

Best friends...

G-rod and Buckwheat are best friends...and they love their stockings (just like personal-sized puppy sleeping bags)


G-Rod makes an appearance at the Christmas party!

Family portrait

Wow!!!  What a job to have a family photo shoot with six people and six puppies.  But I think we succeeded with ONE good photo.  Here you see Ken, Shelley, Keitha, Lacey, Kenley, and Trey with Wildman, Buckwheat, Alfalfa, Tupelo, Wildflower and G-rod.  This was a challenge!  Thanks to Janelle for her awesome photography skills!

Napping

Sleeping is a big part of the day!  Here they are getting some beauty sleep.  Fat and happy...


Buckwheat


Buckwheat is super-cute!  His face is half white and half brindle with a small polka dot on top. He didn't want to cooperate for this headshot, though!

Nap time

Tupelo and momma take a little snooze together

Unsuccessful headshots...

We tried to take headshots on Lola's sofa.  But she wasn't having it!  She promptly sat right down in the middle of our "set" and refused to share!

Wildflower and momma Lola

Feeding is a full time job...

Feeding 6 babies every three hours makes for long days and nights!

Aunt Cami visits the clan

Although they are just a week old, the pups are about the same size as Cami's adult chihuahua!  Tiny!!!

Lola loves Wildman

Wildman

In college, Ken's nickname was Wildman.  And this little guy inherited the namesake...

Rosario loves puppies...

But who doesn't, right?  Rosario helps Lola feed the babies while sitting IN the baby pool with all seven of them...a sight!

Tupelo

Someone give this girl some eye makeup remover!!

Wildflower

Wildman

Looking like a little teddy bear.

Alfalfa slows down long enough

For one good shot!

Lola learned the pageant pose from Lacey...

About to rip at the seams, Lola still remembered how to do the over the shoulder look.  What a diva!

The Vet Clinic

The night of December 6th was a rough one.  We had planned for a C-section on the morning of Tuesday the 7th, but Lola was ready for the puppies to be out of the belly much sooner than that.  On the night of the 6th she was up and down, on and off her bed, in and our of her mom's bed (typically never allowed).  And she was just planed uncomfortable and annoyed.  We awoke early on the morning of the 7th, after a very restless night with little sleep and headed to The Vet Clinic to see Dr. Sean Carder and team.  Here is Lola getting ready for her surgery.  She was a real trooper, even when she had to have her tummy shaved in preparation for the C-section.
