More random J Litter pictures!

So sweet!

Everyone loves the puppies!

There was lots of love for the pups while they were with us!

I put a kennel in with the puppies so they can begin to think of it as a great place to snuggle up and go to sleep! Warm, soft blankets & a sibling or two and the puppies get the idea really quick!

Lots of puppies in a crate!

Doesn't everyone have 11 puppies in their school room?

Isaac is petting the puppies at the board/gate that we use to keep the puppies in, yet Isabel can easily go in or out as she chooses.

Isaac and Jupiter!

A pile of puppies!

Jupiter, Josiah and Joanna!

Jacob is in the front and I think Jonas is in the back!

Jupiter's the one looking up! So adorable!

Jasper!

Joanna snuggling!

Joanna and Jupiter!

The first puppy food!

The puppies get their first taste of puppy food!

They dive right in!

You can see how small blue(Jupiter) was compared to the others in size,
but he was the biggest in personality!

We allowed Jupiter to eat with the others, then we also fed him separately.
We wanted to be sure that he was able to get plenty of food!

Eating is a full body sport for the pups!

They climb on top of each other and into the bowl to get at the food!

They would lick the bowl clean in just a few minutes!

Here Isabel is having some one-on-one time with "Little Blue", who is really named Jupiter! He has been smaller than the rest of the puppies, so we made sure that he got time alone to nurse a couple of times each day! He is growing steadily; he's just a little smaller than the rest!

Jazzy got the wrong paint color at first!
We realized our mistake, so Jazzy wore two colors for awhile!

The puppies really fill up the laundry basket now!
We put them in here when we are weighing puppies and cleaning their bedding! We wash their bedding twice a day at first. (When we start to wean them I wash their bedding each time they are fed. 4 times a day!) It is really important that where they sleep stays clean so later they will be easier to litter box train!

Sitting up and looking like a real little puppy!

Janette is snuggling with a stuffed toy!

Isabel is such a good mama!

Jazlyn has a black spot! She is also the biggest puppy!

Hanging out with her puppies!

The puppies are so funny!

They just crawl up on top of each other and go to sleep!

One more of Janette!

Isabel's J Litter!

Isabel's puppies were born on November 7, 2011!

It was a very smooth labor and all 11 puppies were born healthy and strong!

Here are a few puppies enjoying the warmth of a heating pad!
They are so adorable from the moment they they are born...
well, maybe a once they are cleaned up a little!

They each have their color string to designate birth order and help us keep track of who's who! We also weigh each one when they are born and keep close track of their growth while they are with us!

They are just sooooo cute!

Saying Good-bye to the F Litter!

All packed up and ready to go!

We dropped them off at CCI and came home to a quiet house! We all felt a little sad and missed the puppies. Isabel seems to be a little depressed for a day or two after they leave also. However, we are happy to have the chance to love on these little ones!

What great and exciting futures these puppies will have!
