Here they are! Born in the middle of the night of course, Jan. 25th. She gave us 3 boys and one little girl. It's been a long time since I have had tri-color puppies here. I forgot just how much they look like little baby cows.! All 4 babies are doing well and after the shock of trying to figure out what the heck these squeaky, moving objects are, Bliss is being a very good Mum.
This young man, fascinated by all of the noises coming out of the puppy pen, has decided that it must be his mission in life to figure out just what is going on in there. He is ever vigilant by the pen.......thank-fully Bliss is a good natured girl and is tolerating nosy young men well. Time will tell if Breeze will be so tolerant next week with her babies......
Lest you think that I have forgotten how to knit, I figured I would through in a little fiber content. Can you guess what it is?
It is Shedir from one of the Knitty Suprises and I love working on it......a very fun knit if you like cables. I am using some handspun polwarth. This was to be knit over winter break for my college aged daughter. Of course she left for college yesterday, hatless. There are just not enough hours in a day sometimes....
I promise Ash.....it will go out in the mail by Monday, with a little surprise ;-))
omg, they are so cute :-)

Ohmigosh, I didn't know it was puppy season! What fun and they are so pretty - all of them. Shedir is very pretty too. Have fun, busy lady.

OH! I'd give anything to be there right now! Can't wait to watch them grow. Aggie is already almost done (lost her first teeth yesterday - two at a time - what's up with that?! lol). Trying to talk Dan into getting another... SO cute!! Give Bliss an extra pat for me! Good girl!

So sweet! I'd love to bury my face in all that puppy love!

Yeah for the smell of puppies! And good luck with Shedir. Eunny just finished on in felted tweed, reminding me how much I admire that pattern, especially in handspun. You rock!
Did you see that Cassie just whipped off an old shale shawl in your lovely bunny crack?

Thanks for the puppy pictures,which is the female? Can't wait to see them a little older. I've always wanted to knit Shedir!
Posted by: Diane E. | Saturday, January 28, 2006 at 04:24 PM
Oh what beautiful little puppies.... Good job Bliss!. I love the "Shedir" cap. That has been on my lists of things to knit.

Gald everything went well with mom and babies! Looking forward to new puppy adventures!

P.S. I LOVE the poem by spinner gal! I think I am going to have to cross stitch that for my friend who raises party Spaniels.
Posted by: paula | Saturday, January 28, 2006 at 01:57 PM
Those are the sweetest puppies I seen in a long time.(except of course my fur kid Elise, have to remain partial to our own, LOL)
I really like the wool you are using for your shedir. It looks very soft.
Posted by: paula | Saturday, January 28, 2006 at 01:54 PM
Love the yarn you are using for Shedir and the puppies are so sweet!

Well, after squealing in glee over the pups, I finally scrolled down and .... the hat is gorgeous. Handspun makes it incomparable.
Posted by: Cassie | Saturday, January 28, 2006 at 10:21 AM
Those puppies want me to come and snuggle them. They do. I can tell.
Posted by: Rachel H | Saturday, January 28, 2006 at 09:18 AM
Aw, the puppies are adorable! Congrats to the new mom.
Love the hat too!
Posted by: Spinner Gal | Saturday, January 28, 2006 at 08:28 AM
Your new babies are sooooo sweet! We had a part Cavalier when our children were small. Lovely dog! Couldn't resist sharing this little poem with you .....
There was an old Spaniel
who lived in a shoe,
With so many puppies,
The shoe was a zoo.
Since none were yet housebroke,
It was a disgrace,
With wee wee and doo doo
All over the place.
- Herbert I. Kavet
Enjoy your babies! :-)

Puppies! How wonderful. I'm looking forward to more puppy pictures as they grow.
Posted by: Marguerite | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 07:01 PM
Oh, they're adorable fat, wiggly little bundles! I wouldn't be able to leave them alone.
Posted by: Donna | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 05:49 PM
They are so dear!
Posted by: Laurie | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 04:56 PM
Awwww, I bet they're velvety soft!
Posted by: Laura | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 04:04 PM
So little! I can't wait until they look more, you know, huggable. ;)
Posted by: Liz | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 03:45 PM
Ohhhhh... sweet little squeaky smoochy baby poochies. I know you just wanna squeeze 'em! Keep us posted on how they're doing. :)
Posted by: Laura | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 03:38 PM
How cute!! I've got a favorite already - the one with the black splotch at the back of the head and the white splotch on the butt! Just idle curiosity - which is the girl?
Posted by: Chris | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 03:13 PM
Oh wow! They're so beautiful!! Is it two Tri's and two Blenheims?
Posted by: stephanie | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 03:05 PM
How wonderful, Grandma.. they are beautiful. I'll wait for more pictures.
Posted by: Judy | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 02:58 PM
I knit myself a Shedir this fall and love it! The knitting was fiddly, but well worth it.
Posted by: Karin | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 02:54 PM
Kim - I've been waiting for pictures! They are oh so precious! Can you send me some of that puppy aroma - you know what I mean. Nothing smells better than a baby puppy.(well, not nothing, but it is a good smell). Are you holding any of them yet?
Posted by: christine | Friday, January 27, 2006 at 02:42 PM
Beautiful little puppies! It must be hard to keep your hands off them.
