Sunday with Ciara and the boys

First things first - thanks to Asta's Mom for this beautiful collage of all the participants in the Max World Tour. If you look at the bottom left side, you can find Phantom and Thunder. Look carefully and we bet you will recognize a lot of your wonderful furiends.



Life with Ciara is interesting. She is a very sweet girl with a great personality. She is a real cuddler too. Phantom and Thunder are trying very hard to welcome her to the family. They do best when they are all outside. But Mother Nature has not been too cooperative in this area. We have had rain, more rain, puddles, mud, and now today we have freezing rain, sleet, slush, and ice. The switchover to snow has just begun. We are all hoping to get out there soon and see if we can all do zoomies in the snow.



Ciara and her cousin K.

This next photo reminds Mom and Dad a lot of Dakota:)

A little tummy for you. Actually a very round tummy. Ciara visited the vet yesterday for the first time and she weighed in at 17.4 lbs. She got an A+ report - all is well. And no shots yet - in another three weeks as her breeder had already given her her first injections. The vet and the technician fell in love with her and Mom was worried they were going to try to keep her:)



Learning right away about those pesky squirrels.

Sleepy time. Mom keeps her leash attached while she is in the kitchen along with the boys - easier to keep track of where she is:)





And a litte video of playtime. (Yes, they were watching Grey's Anatomy.)

And next is a collection of photos of the boys outside with their new sister. Mom is super cautious with the little one. You will see her leash on her outside too so Mom can grab her quickly if the boys get too rough. Yesterday she only had one of them out with the puppy at a time and today she tried them together. They like to compete with each other when they are both out there. They are also having to learn to be more gentle with her. If you know sibes, they play very rough and they make a lot of noise when they are playing. They just need to tone it down a bit with Ciara. If we find time, we will have a video of them outside for you tomorrow. Now enjoy the photos.


All around the mulberry bush - sharing secrets?




No, her mouth is not really in his mouth.

Is she getting reprimanded?


MMMMmmmm, you had something good to eat, Phantom.


Wait for me!!!

I think I like it here.



And no backtalk, pipsqueak!

Could we all look at the camera, please?

All heads forward, please.


Mom, this is the best you are going to get.

Woos from Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

  4. Ciara is just adorable. We loved her little video playing with all her toys. She looks really settled already.
    We can see why she reminds you of Dakota too - truly she has the sweetest of expressions.
    The pics outside with her two big brothers are wonderful. It did look as though they were having a word with her.
    The bottom pic is just lovely.
    She is certainly keeping you all busy. I just can't believe how quickly she has settled. Then again it is a very long time since I had a puppy! Mind you I would just love one - maybe one day - when I retire!

  20. Oh what a big cute family!

    My brother Knuckles and I play really rough too... but I guess we're smaller so we're less likely to do any real damage. But I know you two are being really careful around your new little sister!

  21. She is so cute! I love the leash - it reminds me so much of Sam when he was young. He was such a rascal that the only way to find him sometimes after he had done wrong was to look for the leash. He was a master at wedging himself into things when he knew he was in trouble!

  22. What a sweetie! She'll be up to speed in no time and give the boys a run for their money.

  30. Oh my... I was gone and you added a new pup! Wowzer she is too super super siber cute! I mean you just want to cuddle with her. I'd like to use her as a pillow. And... I'm beginning to think I'm part sibe. I am a rough houser and make all kinds of noise when I play. Mom always has to tell me to tone it done.

    p/s: Please ask your mom to email our mom ysdavis at hotmail dot com so that mom can send your mom some oven roasted pork tenderloin recipes. These are however not tried or tested by us nor mom yet. She collected them in her recipe collections just didn't try them yet. Actually she tried the maple one and it was good.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh, we can just about feel Ciara's soft furry-ness and smell that sweet puppy breath all the way over here! Maybe the boys were teaching her how to read the pee-mail on that bush??

  44. Ciara is such a cutie she looks like a little doggie doll.

    Phantom & Thunder it looks as if you will have a lot of fun times with this little girl. ~AFSS

    PS: Did you see me & Scylla with all those doggies in the picture. I can't believe the things I get into since I came to live here. I was very reassured that Phantom & Thunder were around to protect me. ~Artemisia

  45. O my gosh, the Phantom and Thunder, I fink I'm a little jealous!

    What a beautiful little sister you have! Ciara is as cute as she can be... and you boys have your work cut out for you, as big brothers! I know you'll do a great job!

    As the great philosopher, Charles Schultz, once say, "Happiness is a warm puppy"... and I fink that in-of-doors, anyway... your home must be very happy!

    wif love from the very excited Luke

  46. um, that round little bellaaaay needs a ZERBERT from Wild Dingo. And then I may accidentally pup nap her! ;)

    btw: i don't think you have enough toys for her. you're so mean. bordering on abuse with lack of toys and enjoyment for her.

    in a year or so, she'll be big enough to tell those boys how to behave and we'll find out very soon that she'll be boss. but i'll be she'll be a sweet boss!

  47. OMD the last photo!!! My furiends, Phantom and Thunder, no roughhousing yet. Just enjoy the fluff-ball, not to be confused with a tennis ball, and be good role models.
    Twink!

  48. I love the last photo with the three of them. . .so very cute!

    Ciara is going to be such a great beauty and full of mischief too.

    Thanks for sharing the videos and pics with us. If you could figure out how to include the puppy breath, and coat smell, it would be just perfect.

    Cheers and hugs,

    Jo and Stella

  51. Ciara, your ears are very pink. I sure hope that there are no grey cats in your neighborhood. Those ears might not be safe...

  52. Is that a Sibe thing to get in other dogs faces? Sagira does this all the time and it really scares me, she already got bit once doing it. I just noticed Ciara does it to.
