Chloe's first litter turned two last week!
...and I am happy to say all these beautiful babies are living the good life.
Beckett. She's the one on the left in the above photo. Beckett's human Mom, Shari, tells me that Beckett is definitely a very happy well behaved dog. Sounds like she has everyone wrapped around her "paw" too. Beckett likes to take over Dad's chair, she likes to watch tv, expecially commercials with dogs in them. Shari, if you haven't already, you need to let her watch Marmaduke.
Beckett is still not very fond of car rides, and her sixty five pound body pretty much must be lifted up and placed into the vehicle for her to go anywhere...but when it comes to her manners, they are exquisite. Beckett has never stolen food off the table or countertop and she is always very gentle when receiving treats from human hands.
If anyone is interested on my earlier blog post of when these pups first went to their forever homes, here is a link.
Next we have Jaxson. He's the middle pup in the very top photo of this post...the only male in the whole group.
Jackson's human Mom Penny tells me Jaxson's living quite the life already, going to work with his human Dad everyday and having lots of friends, both two legged and four legged. Speaking of legs, it appears Jackson likes to sit with his hind legs stretched out straight, not much like a dog at all.
Those Snowypaws, never a shortage of humor.
Jackson likes to lay on his back, and hold a toy in his front paws and play with it. (his Sister Violet does something similar, she does it with a bone)
Jackson loves to play in the lake, and he loves to retrieve but he's not so great at bringing it back to the person he's playing with...short attention span...squirrel...squirrel...!! So, the fetching "toy" of choice is usually a stick...and a game of fetch will have many, abandoned sticks.
Penny shares that Jaxson is very sweet and affectionate. (and speaking just like a Grandmother might I add have you ever seen such beautiful dogs? :)
Thank you Penny for the wonderful update on Jaxson. Wishing you and your family health and happiness.

Now, for an update on Violet and Mom Chloe. Violet is the shy little wallflower on the right side of the photo at the top of this blog post.
Violet stopped being shy the moment she got home.
Violet LOVES her canine Mom and all of her human family.
at two, Violet is still very much a puppy and we love that she is keeping her Mother young too. We have not had any weight issues with Mom since Violet has come home. Playtime is constant...not to mention, Violet begins each day with a good tail chasing session...every...single...day.
Violet has her human Daddy right where she wants him. She needs a daily pick-me-up...
and she steals his chair every chance she gets whether he's in it or not. She loves to watch out the window, and since we have no human neighbors, Violet spends a whole lot of time waiting for something to visit the bird feeder.
neither one, Chloe or Violet like to ride in a vehicle, but we seem to be getting better with that. Our vet had recommended that we take small rides more often, and so that is what we do. We try to get in a long walk at a local trail every weekend. Both Chloe and Violet enjoy it so much, they actually are jumping into the vehicle now, instead of running away :)
Violet is still very much a puppy. Beautiful. Energetic. Mischievous. Playful. Sweet. Loving.
Our babies. We love them with all our hearts. All of them. Our next steps will be getting all of Violets breeding checks taken care of to see if she will keep her legacy going. Mamma Chloe has retired. Job well done Chloe.
