We are now 4 weeks old!

The puppies turned 4 weeks old yesterday. They are definitely getting bigger and more active. They are really fun to watch as they play with each other and Polly. We took them out again last night to let them play on the floor and of course after a little dinner and playing, they all ended up asleep. Here are a few pictures of them.

We still have the majority of them available, so if you know anyone that wants a Weimaraner, please email us for more details.

Here are a few more videos.

PUPPY FOOD!! And Sleepy Sunday Afternoons

This past Wednesday, the puppies were 3 weeks old and we began them on softened puppy food over the weekend. They seemed to LOVE it...but I guess since it is something new and not plain 'ole milk, I would like it too! They are pretty funny to watch. We spread the food out in 4 bowls so they don't get too crowded.

I think Polly may be enjoying the break from nursing!

Sunday afternoon we decided to spread out the blanket and get all the puppies out. We turned on our fireplace (I say "turned on" because they are gas logs not a real fireplace) and all hung out in the floor...for a while. As you can see from the pictures, they all, including Polly, ended up taking a nap in front of the warm fire! What a way to spend a dreary, cold Sunday afternoon!!

Here are a few videos from this weekend too. Just ignore the background tv noise...

Here's one of the puppies hanging out with Polly. This is the one that Mike calls "Frank, the Tank" because he is so big.

Puppies trying their new food.

More food.

Here's one of the puppies "up close and personal" with Polly. It is funny to watch Polly as she endures the constant motions of the puppies all over her. They are big enough to crawl over her from back to front when she is laying down. This one wanted to check her out!

Guess who came to visit??

On Saturday, we had a visitor from down the road. He heard that Polly had her puppies and wanted to check on them. However, Polly was not very excited to see him and got QUITE upset that he had come over without letting her know.

This visitor's name is Shorty, although you can see from the pictures his name doesn't quite fit...he's a Great Dane. I don't know if Polly was more upset that there was something in HER yard or that he looked like a small white horse!

Here's Shorty:

Puppies Week Two

Here are some updated puppy pictures - Week Two:

They love to snuggle together and get under the ledge that we have around the walls.

Dinner Time...once again!

Mike calls this one "Frank the Tank" because he is SO big. He is a healthy puppy and doesn't miss dinner time. He is quite the snuggler though.

More Snuggle Pics

No, we're not getting attached! (At least that is what we keep telling ourselves!)

I think Polly needed some alone time. She will come over to sit with us or snuggle with us in bed like old times. She still wants to be close to them though and will jump up when one starts getting loud. Polly is extremely cautious when we take one out of the box to play with, but is great to let us hold them for a while. She is a great Mom but I am sure feeding and cleaning those guys all day and night can be quite tiring!

Puppy Pile-Up

New Puppy Pics (isn't that what you want to see anyways?!?)

Here are some more pictures taken this week. The puppies are beginning to open their eyes and are a little more mobile. They are figuring out about their feet and how they all work together. They are growing fast and getting SO big. Today was their first official day at home without Miriam or Mike since we both had to go to work. But, they did just great! Polly is a great Mom and really seems to know what to do and when. She is great about feeding and cleaning them and likes to snuggle with them too.

Here are the pictures:

We hope you had a Merry CHRISTmas!

Here are a few pictures from the GA Christmas. Mike stayed back with Polly and the puppies in NC while Miriam went to see her family in GA for Christmas.

Miller Christmas in GA consists of:
* meeting at the community center in Adrian for a huge lunch with more desserts than you can count
* going back to the house "down the railroad bed" where Dad grew up
* spending the night wherever you can find a bed
* meeting for breakfast at Uncle Wayne and Aunt Wrena's house which includes eggs, grits, biscuits, cooked apples, and yummy grilled meats (smoked sausage, pork tenderloin, and country ham!!)
* sitting around and visiting after the big breakfast
* figuring out what to eat for lunch and dinner even though EVERYONE is still STUFFED from breakfast!
* new this year - paintball!!
* new this year - marshmallow roast!!

All of our immediate family (Mom and Dad and my 2 sisters and brother) were all able to be together with our extended famiy. This was Mom and Dad's last year to join us for a while as they will be leaving to go on the Mission Field (language school in Costa Rica for one year and the moving to Antigua, Guatemala). We had a special time of prayer and encouragement over them after our lunch on Christmas Eve. Dad also had the priviledge of leading a dedication of the new babies in the family.

We sure love being together as a family and especially spending Christmas together in Adrian.

Puppy Pictures

Here are more puppy pictures! These are a few taken over the Christmas holidays through last night. As you can tell, they are getting SO big. I took the puppies to the vet today and the largest one weighed 2lbs. 11oz. Their eyes should begin opening soon.

As you can see in one picture, the puppies have outgrown the pool that we originally had them in. They were beginning to crawl out which is never good! So, Mike built a bigger box for them to live in. Polly has plenty of room and so do the puppies. They especially like to climb under the ledge (which protects them from having Polly squish them against the wall).

Enjoy!
