JoJo - the fuzzy guy

ADOPTED!


JoJo is a totally laid-back, go-with-the-flow kind of puppy. He doesn't get really riled up unless it's breakfast (or lunch...or supper). He has lots of fuzzy tan fur which makes him look heavier than he really is. He is very interested in things around him, but doesn't tend to tackle things. He's easy-going and just generally sweet.

Update: JoJo, of course, was totally mellow in the tub. He tried to get out at first, but pretty quickly gave up and let himself be scrubbed clean!

Sadie - the teeny tiny one



Sweet little Sadie is the baby, even though she was the firstborn. She has a short, smooth coat that is a light brown with a lot of white markings. Her eyes are the kind of puppy dog eyes that you could easily drown in, and she has been paper trained since the day she was born.

Update: Sadie did NOT appreciate getting her dainty little paws wet.

Desmond - any sweeter and you'd get a toothache

ADOPTED!



What can you say about Desmond? If a sweet, calm, adoring, loving puppy is what you are looking for, Des is it. He is definitely a family favourite. When they all come stampeding out of their pen to get fed, Desmond waits calmly until his siblings are eating before he saunters out. When someone approaches the pen and the others swarm to them, he waits calmly at the other end. Desmond is the smallest of the male pups, with a pure tan coat and the sweetest little pink spot on his nose.

Update: Desmond was, as usual, an angel.

Lucy Flawless



Lucy has the most interesting colouring of all the puppies. Mostly dark brown with white and tan facial features, she is also one of the smaller pups. Lucy is one of the darlings that never misses the paper when using the bathroom, but even better, she will go as far away from the other puppies as possible when going (believe me, it gets messy if they are too close!). She is one of the least vocal puppies; my foster mom claims that she has never heard a peep from Lucy.


Update: Lucy was first in the tub. We weren't sure if the fur was just gray or if they were that dirty from the newsprint, but it became clear when her paws became a brilliant white again!

Maxwell - the BIG boy

ADOPTED!


Maxwell has a smooth tan coat with black "ear liner," which is what we call the delicate black outline around his ears. He also has an adorable black spot on his tail. He is the heaviest puppy, at about 12 pounds, but in the last few days has become the cuddliest. He follows my foster mom's fiance around constantly when he's out of the pen, and is definitely interested in my foster mom's slippers!

Update: Max was the best at standing for pictures, but that did NOT mean he was happy about it. We did check his toes and he's got some webbing between them, so maybe he'll be a water dog!

Jude - the man with the rolls



Jude is the fuzziest puppy by far, but no longer the fattest. He is, however, the first to the food bowl and the last to leave. He very rarely misses the newspaper when using the bathroom, and loves to explore. He is an angel when having his toenails clipped, but the best thing about Jude? The way he waddles instead of walks.

Update: Jude definitely took the most hilarious picture.

Penny - but you're too late anyway!

ADOPTED!

Penny is the reason my foster family thinks Dad might have been a husky. She is a little tiger, always bowling over her brothers and sisters, ready for a fight. At the same time, though, she is very loving and affectionate towards people. Make a kissy noise, and she's the first one in your lap.

That's all I am going to say about her, though, because she is already adopted.

Update: Penny was one of the dirtier ones, but she looks great now!
