Ashlee had some help from the dogs doing dishes.  We were watching Moxie, one of Nadia puppies a couple months ago.  Cinder and Nadia are in the habit of helping to clean the dishes.  Moxie was a quick learner and joined right in.  Each do had a side.  It was pretty funny.

Here are some photos of all the families that Nadia’s pups went to.  Hope all the pups are doing well.  We had our hands full with all the puppies and kids, I think the photo below demonstrates it perfectly.  Click it to see the rest of the photos.

When Nadia had her pups, one of them was lucky enough to go to the Netherlands to live.  Judith and Anamiek came to pick him up.  We had a great time touring around Chicago with them.  Enjoy the photos.  Since I am posting this a month and a half late and the tour de France is on.  I am really rooting for Rabo Bank and Dennis Menchov.

The Nadia Nitro puppies are 4 weeks old.  They had a big week.  They ate real food (blended dog food and water) for the first time, had visitors, nibbled on some feathers, and went outside.  Wow!  Now they are sleeping very well.  We have the double whelping box set up now in the kitchen so they can get used to all the noises of a home.  Nadia is very happy to be finishing up her feeding responsibilities.  She is ready to have them fully weaned already.  Thanks to all the visitors, it helps the puppies greatly to get socialized.  64 photos this time so be prepared.  Also a 3 and 4 week old video.

The puppies are two weeks old and doing great. They are growing fast. They eyes all opened this week, I would say around the 12 day mark they opened up. A couple of them are unsteadily walking which you can see in the video. Enjoy the cuteness. As always click the photo to see the slide show and the bottom image will play a video.

Nadia had her puppies on Friday April 9th starting at 5:30pm. They were all born healthy and pretty much uneventfully. She had 4 boys and 2 girls. I have posted lots of pictures, and there is a video of the delivery as well. The pups will be ready for visitors the at the age of 4 weeks.  The first image is a link to the whelping video.

Nadia started having her pups about 30 minutes after I got home.
