Puppies first bath, drying, stack and sit photos

[NicoleLJ]

Ok today is the last day of the pups being 3 weeks old. Tomorrow they all turn 4 weeks old. But today is a holiday so hubby is home form work to help so we thought we would do all this today instead of tomorrow, when I would have to do it by my self.

Ok first off I am exhausted. No kidding. Being pregnant and washing and grooming 6 puppies and so on is VERY exhausting work. Fun, yes. but exhausting.

Ok here is how I am going to do this. I am going to do a seperate post for each pup so I can describe how each pup reacted to each new situation. Hubby took between 20 - 30 photos for EACH pup. No I am not posting them all. lol I am posting the 2 cutest bath pictures, 2 cutest drying pictures and teh stack and the sit photo. So 6 photos per pup. That should be plenty to keep you guys happy for at least a day or so. lol

OK Dark Blue is first. Last night at the weigh in he was 4 pounds 14.9 ounces. So a nice sized boy. He was asleep when we got him for his bath. We put him in the tub and he started to whimper and cry. He really got his lungs working even with Sheena there to sooth him. He was not happy and let us no it. And there was no water in teh tub. lol So we comforted him and then turned the water on so it was just warm. He stopped crying right away. And laid down. He whimpered a bit during the washing but that was it. He was the most vocal out of all the pups for the bath. So here are his bath pictures:





Next came drying. He loved this and grunted the whole time in pleasure. He loves cuddles and being rubbed with a towel.





Now that they are good and tired after their bath and towelling we attempted to stack them. Remember they are a day shy of 4 weeks. They will in no way have a good stack. This is more for fun and to just watch the difference from week to week. Dark blue though was having none of it. He kept trying to sit, or turn.



Then we did the sit photo. This was easy for all the pups. And all were more then wiling to do teh sit.



OK give me a little bit and I will put greens up. Still got to resize his pictures.

Oh my gosh, they are just so cute!! I love the stack pic lol, what a sweetie.

Aw, love the last picture. Who could possibly resist that little guy.

OK Greens turn. Greens bath went very well. He actually had fun. No kidding. He thought the shower nozzle was a toy and the water that was coming out was suppose to be pounced on. He did no crying or whining but did struggle alot so he could get down to play some more. I suspect he is going to be a water lover. lol





Of course with all the romping in the tub he is tuckered out and ready for a cuddle and rub down. He grunted in pleasure the whole way through and even gave us kisses. This boy had a blast teh entire time.





His great behaviour even went to the stacking time. He was the easiest pup to do this with and held himself with little assistance and no struggling. Out of all the pups thi is by far my favorite stacked shot.



Last but not least is his sit photo. He agian was an angel for this



So this has been Greens day. Give me a bit and Light blue will be next.

OK Light Blues turn. Light blue is now around 5 1/2 pounds. Have to weigh him with a fish scale and hammock instead of the digital scale sinc ehe got past the 5 pound mark.

He was fine with the bath. No whinning or fusing but also no playing either. He just moved around checking things out as we wet him and soaped him down. He was calm and happy through the whole thing.





He was also a grunter and face kisser through his cuddle and drying session. All these pups love to be held and cuddled.





For his stack picture he did try to sit down or wal backwards but all things considered he did get a pretty good shot.



And of course we must have the handsome sitting shot.



All in all Light Blue was pretty relaxed about the whole thing. OK Give me a bit and I will have Reds up next.

VERY adorable! And congrats! You did a fantastic job (with or without cooperation on puppies parts. )!

OMG! Green has stolen my heart with this picture..



Cuddle them all for me!

[cassiesmom]

Cuddle them all for me, too! (especially Rainbow Sherman)

[NicoleLJ]

Now for Reds turn. He is currently weighing in at 4 pounds and 4.4 oz. So he has caught up with the rest of the four pounders. lol

As for bath time he did a little whining when he first got in and one and a while through out the the bath. Other then that he was fine with it. No struggling or crying.





He didn't grunt at all during his drying session but as you can see he had his tongue out the entire time. What do you think? Is he trying to tell me something with that tongue? lol





He did pretty good while we tried to stack him. Did try to sit a couple of times but other then that he did well.



And last but not least the sit shot.



Don't you want to just kiss that face? Ok give me a little while and then Rainbow is next.

OK next is Rainbow(Sherman). He is now weighing in, as of last night, at 4lbs 5.5oz. So he is doing very well.

He was not too impressed with the bath. He struggled a bit and whined a bit but settled down quickly. All in all he did very well considering a few minutes before he had been snoozing. lol





Drying him off was fun though. He grunted for a bit and then kept falling asleep. Guess he thought he didn't need to be awake for the process.





For the stack he just kept trying to sit. Finnally he just sat down on my hand and I was supporting his hind end completely. lol Lazy little tike.



As soon as this sit photo was done and he had got his "good job" cuddles he was back with his sibblings and snoozing away agian. At least for a half hour. then he was up and pouncing on the big boys and playing hard. lol He is little in size only.



So that is Rainbows. Mellow Yellow is coming up next.
