Queen of the big toy!

“Come on – we're way too cute to leave in the cage.”

Two of Aly's girls – they go home this weekend – 3/5 – 3/6

“You woke us up!” The girl in the corner looks a lot like daddy Icon

Being cute is exhausting…

VanBeard's Sweet Alyssum (Aly) and VanBeard's Milwaukee Thunder (Icon) born 1/11/11.
Two boys and four girls.

Aly's puppies are five weeks old and starting to play, and bark.
Syd's puppy, the darker puppy in all the pictures, is four weeks old, but he's catching up
This is one of Aly's girls.
They are very interested in everything that is going on in the puppy room
They play really hard and then crash into a nap.
Right now, the boys are in Janesville and the girls are in Iron Ridge
so we have lots of time to devote to each of the little groups.
The boys get play time before bed so they sleep until at least 6:30 a.m….
Toys with parts that can be pulled or easily dragged are popular.

On the Fourth of July, 2008, Blossom (VanBeard's Awesome Blossom) and Alex (Ch. VanBeard's Alex) puppies are almost four weeks old

And, who can resist a nice nap on a duck?




New Puppies!!!
