The good ol' days

My pups @ about 4 weeks of age. Born July 5, 2002, these pics show that I submitted them for developing on Aug 3, 2002 so I guess they were no older than 4 weeks old here. Qiqi whelped them in the bedroom, where we had a crate waiting for her to be able to nurture, feed and raise them until they are old enough to fend for themlselves.



I love the pics with Qiqi nearby, she was soo protective of them in their beany weeks. She always made sure Joey was no where around, that the pups had her near in case they cried or were hungry.... This pic is cute, the pups started playing with each other no too long before these pics were taken, took them I believe 2 weeks before they're eyes opened. After that, it's been a fun fun ride with all 5!

Last pic you can see our Chest was chewed on! The chewing was Qiqi & Joey's fault, not the pups.. Qiqi & Joey grew out of chewing on everything quickly, but not before a few memories were created...
