Surprise! There Are Nine of Us!

This week our pups ' universe changed dramatically. They went from revolving around a furry nipple with a big tongue to opening their eyes to a startling world of squirming, wriggly puppies.

This has led to some pretty cute interactions!

Hey, I'm Lite Green, who are you? When'd you get here?

And if a picture is worth a thousand words, what is this video worth?

And while they clearly still need Mama...

...they have tried sampling each other. 

With limited success!

It has been a little overwhelming, so eventually the puppies like to take a little time to themselves.

I really need a time out. That Seppe is exhausting!

He even wears himself out!

It can be hard getting some alone time with Mama.

Where's that other Mama?

Here she is. But who is that other puppy in her arms?

Seppe and Lil Red, now known as Jamboree!

That's Little Jamboree, formally known as Lil Red. She and Seppe will stay with us. Her full name is Lady Jamboree Furia Roja Martin. Extra credit if you know where her middle names came from!

Lil Jammie

Sepper's still needs to get used to this idea.

Noooooo. Don't take the girl!

So he is going to sleep on it.

Our little lord Joseppe Baby Bean Martin.

Puppy putty!

It has also been a little overwhelming for Jalapeño.

Especially because it felt like the puppies started off lurchy a la walking dead and then rapidly turned swarmy a la 28 days.

Goodness.





So sometimes I help give Mama a break. It is a real sacrifice.

I'd rather be.......ah.....right here!!!

The puppies continue to love each other.

And think outside the box when it comes to gettin' din din!

Nipple wars!

And while it has gotten harder to get cute pictures.

Mouths! Mouths! Mouths!

It is worth the extra work!

Specially when you capture these sweet expressions!
