STELLA

Introducing Blitzan Summertime Star over Rixbriar or Stella
Stella is from Ali's last litter in June, out of Rixbriar Blaze of Glory (strider) X Summertime Temptress at Blitzan (Summer)
We went down to see the babies and one ended up coming home with us (we did have to wait until she was 8 weeks old) She is a little darling MOST of the time, a very bright young lady who passed her kennel club puppy foundation training at 17 weeks.
She as fitted in really well with the rest of the dogs we have, who happen to be her Dad, Grandad, Grandmother and Auntie.
She will be starting her show career in December as well as a few other things we have planned for her. If the show career doesn't take off she may well take up landscape gardening (something she likes to practice) and laundry work if she can find the washing machine and not the puddles in the back garden !!!!
Be low are some pictures of Stella and family starting with her at 8 weeks and the last one was at 18 weeks.

Ok Clean Daddy

Very Proud Daddy

Daddy would like to say how proud he is of his and wife number 2 (but dont tell her)babies, he cant wait to come and meet them , but please dont bite his feet !!!!!

Now 2 weeks old

Been given a reminder for more baby pictures so here they are.Growing very quickly and putting on loads of weight, as you can see they like their porridge, that's Patch asleep in the food bowl! Diva is proving to be a great Mum having had a little hiccup with her calcium levels in the beginning she is now a very laid back Mum, so much so that she has allowed a desperate Fancy in to love and cuddle the babies too. Last night Diva was feeding them whilst Fancy also in the whelping box washed all ten bottoms sticking out from Diva's milk bar! Don't know many new Mum's that would share, in fact Fancy is so desperate to be part of the action, when the puppies are piled up she likes to push her head and neck underneath the pile so all you can see is a headless body and wagging tail, she has also tried to tempt them into her own empty milk bar! So as you can imagine the babies are spotless, so clean they shine and constantly being cuddle by one of the dogs or even a human or two! Below Fancy the wannabe Mum!

The milk bar is open

Squashed babies! and on the milk bar, I can't decide if the above picture is cute or horrible, it's actually Flash snuggled between Diva's legs with Britches trying to get her out the way so he could get to the milk bar, Diva is a lot brighter thankfully!
Video is self explanatory, feeding time!

Diva has had her 10 babies and they are gorgeous, she is doing so well at motherhood.
