Poor Jasmine was SO huge; she tried everything to get comfortable, even if she looked a bit like a beached whale. She went from a svelte 15+ pounds to 24 pounds with a 26" waist!

(This was the night before the puppies arrived, she seemed happy to see her puppy box, and - before I could finish getting it set up - she moved right in to reclaim it!)

        Meet the May 2003 Dark Star babies!        



These beauties arrived May 10th; pictured are (from left to right) the 2 Tricolor girls, the 2 Blenheim boys, the Tricolor boy, and the Blenheim girl. The proud (and tired) mother is Jasmine, and the cigar-smoking daddy is McGwire.


Jasmine greets her first daughter with a sniff and a kiss. (That's Mia, the midwife apprentice!)

It's hard work, having all these children; here she looks as if hoping to already be done...

When they're this itty bitty all they want to do is eat & sleep - Jasmine just wants to sleep!

Oopsa-daisy!! Okay, so they're not very coordinated just yet!


I put the puppies into a high-sided dog-bed to keep them from wandering off. They sleep quite well in there: the tricolor girl there seems to be saying "tis cool, gimme a high five!"

Apparently Jasmine thought it looked awfully comfortable, too! She crawled right in. Tough to feed one's babies in such cramped quarters, but she's creative.

Their pigment is slowly coming in - although it looks as though a painter was dotting it in a bit at a time!

They always seem to find a comfortable place and way to sleep.
These puppies are good to the end... But I sure hope this posturing isn't some kind of commentary or opinion! :-)
