Puppies 4 Weeks

Well the pups are 4 weeks old today and it’s time for their weekly portrait. Photographing them is getting more difficult every week. They have to have a full tummy, but not so much that they are too sleepy. It’s a tenuous line. I love it though.

I have to say this has been a rewarding yet difficult job for me. Very different from my photography job, but much like my mothering job I had when the kids were babies. Cleaning up messes is not so fun, but those snuggles are hard to beat. I will miss them so when they leave in 4 weeks. I told Chris he will have to hold onto me. I will definitely grieve these babies. However, they all have wonderful homes and that is such a blessing. I love sending their new owner’s images and videos of them as they are growing.

Once again I am listing them in their original birth order. You can see their original 1 day old pics at www.maryannemorganblog.com/goldendoodle-puppies/ to see how they have grown. The more straight coated ones are now beginning to get their waves and curls and the curly ones are getting curlier and curlier. Irresistible!

Here they are at 4 weeks.

Green collar boy is Murphy, named after Dale Murphy, so I had to include at least one Braves image. He has such a sweet personality. He loves everyone.

Blue collared boy is now Levi and has the prettiest face. He is very loving and always wants to snuggle with me if I am in the pen. So so sweet.

Orange Collar boy is now Curtis. I caught him reading Max Lucado’s God Thinks You’re Wonderful. I think he may have a future in ministry. He is the quietest, calmest boy. Sweet Curtis.

Yellow collar boy is aptly named Teddy. He looks just like a little bear cub. Teddy is another snuggler. He loves to lick faces and cuddle up to you. Good boy, Teddy.

White collar boy is now Duke. He is my smart boy. He has been the first to learn how to use the puppy litter tray. I am hoping he will teach the others to do the same. He is also a cuddle bug.

Pink collar girl is now Bella. I am always singing to her, “Bella, Bella, Bella!” When I go into the pen she always comes and sits at my feet and looks up at me. What a sweet, sweet girl.  She is getting little curls in her ears now.  Yes, she and the other two girls are princesses.

Purple collar girl is now London. Well, princess London around here. She has the sweetest face. She always looks so serious, but she really loves everyone. A princess has a lot to do, so I am not surprised by her serious expressions. Give it to Jesus, London.

Red collar girl is now Scarlet. She has found a wonderful family and I am so happy for her. I thought about keeping her, but she found such a good family, I could not keep her to myself. I look forward to seeing her grow up. She will be close by, thankfully! She is a little diva with a big heart. She is my most independent puppy. She is always stirring things up with the others, trying to get a game going. She and Murphy tend to be the social butterflies.
