| Lili rests with her pups. They are two days old. |

 |
| One of the boys. He is mostly black with a few white markings. |
|
|
 |
| Although she appears mostly black, she is a gold brindle. She resembles Lili as a newborn pup. |

| The third pup is the one on the far right. He is a black and tan male. |

Lili is being a fabulous mother to the puppies. Lili watches over them closely, cleans them and feeds them with such finesse. Luna and Chloe (Lili's adult daughters) go into the whelping room and visit her and the pups regularly. Chloe enjoys 'babysitting' and regularly checks on them.
The pups are two weeks old now. The posted pics are when they were about one week old. They have all opened their eyes, are beginning to walk like puppies, wag their tails, and are attempting to play with one another. We have given the pups their temporary names. The gold brindle female is Faith. The black with white markings male is Super Dog. The black and tan male is Champ.
They have all completed the 'Super Dog' program, an early neurological stimulation program. They just began potty training with a litter box and 'Potty Park' grass. Although our pups hear many sounds with our children and adult dogs, we have begun playing a 'Puppy Sounds' CD, so that the pups grow accustomed to many different sounds that may not be normally heard in our household.

The pups are five weeks old. They spend the day in the family room with our children that are home schooled and our adult dogs. Luna and Chloe visit the pups often in the family room. Rey watches over them at times while resting on the couch that is next to the pup's enclosure. The pups have started eating homemade food, but they still prefer nursing. They are all doing beautifully with using the Potty Park and a litter box.

| Faith uses the Potty Park. The pups are using a litter box and also the Potty Park. They are doing a great job using their potty. |

| SuperDog uses the Potty Park. Champ is also a pro, but decided he didn't want to pose :o). |

The pups are seven weeks old. They eat well, are very reliable with the potty, and love to play with the 'big' dogs. Lili continues to be a wonderful mother to the pups. She spends a lot of time with them and still allows them to nurse on occassion. They all have at least a few teeth. They love to play on agility equipment. They all like toys and run after squeeky, rolling balls. They have been a true joy for us!

| Faith uses the potty like a 'big girl'. |
|

 |
| That was a tasty dinner! |

| It's nap time! |
|
|
 |
| Super Dog wakes from his nap for a quick pose. |
|
|
 |
| Super Dog decides to try to sleep under the bolster bed. |
|
| |
 |
| Yes, all three pups are playing. We call this 'puppy pile up'. |
|
|
 |
| It's hard to believe that there are three pups playing happily in this picture :o). |
