A 1st Peek at the World....Puppy Style!

The little redbone pups are going on three weeks old.
They belong to my daughter and son-in-law, she sends me photo updates from Alabama. They are the pups of Dixie and Bryant, their pair of redbone coonhounds. Here's a picture of Dixie and Bryant before all this started; two beautiful and smart hounds.






Above, in the top photo, is Lil' Ann, one of the three girls (there were six boys!) already named, already spoken for. She's going to be a Michigan pup, coming with her brother Dan....

My oldest son has requested a pair and this little girl was hand-picked by Jamie to be his. She opened her eyes yesterday, and here's her first bleary peek at the world. Hello, sweetie! Hope you grow up to be as pretty as your mama and as smart as your daddy!

Oh, Lil' Ann, I sure wish I could be there and smell your puppy breath, and pet your velvety ears and squish all that extra skin you're going to grow into, watch those little triangle-shaped ears grow into enormous, silky, squishy, floppy ears!





Want more puppy pictures?



Okay,



Well, you asked for them....




So here they are!






Let's have a look at all nine of you sweet little babes now into your third week of life!

Oh, mama....what a job you've got keeping nine hungry puppies happy for twenty four hours a day, seven days a week! Whew! What a pile of puppies!

Wrinkly little noses that will soon be long and smooth, ready to sniff out the nearest racoon or rabbit, or any ol' thing!


By the looks of things, mama has fattened them all up nicely...into roly poly little pups!



Some are blonde, some are tan, and some are red as can be! What a nice bunch of redbones! Can you stand one more...?

Goodnight, sleep tight, little ones!

Oh, I love those puppies. I am an animal lover, we have 3 dogs and 6 cats. A house is not a home without a few of these running around.

Just adorable. I want one....
Oh wait-I have 3 dogs, (one who is a Mastiff and weighs 130lbs) 4 horses, with one on the way, and 15 cats. Geez-o-pete that's the last thing I need to get. I already have a request in for 2 donkey's. But then again J has always wanted a hound.....
Thanks for the adorable pics. Please post more!!
