Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Here’s a pic of Cookie. She’s the one without the gray hair
On Mar 04, 2010 at 8:40 pm #
Lynn g says:Cool pic, lucky Cookie no gray hair…
On Mar 04, 2010 at 8:42 pm #
KittyMom Linda says:A well-deserved nap after chasing ball around the house. Cookie is sweet. There is something about a puppy sleeping – like a kitten or baby – so innocent – until awake!

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Look at those feet!!! I bet she’s gonna be big! It sure looks like L-0-V-E to me… Congratulations!!!

Purple Chick aka Violet says:Cookie is ADORABLE !!!!!!!!!!! So very cute !!!!
Yes, the puppy stage can be a handful…. but what a treasure you have !!!!!!! I am so happy for you and Bob…. I see he has a big smile too !!!!!!
On Mar 04, 2010 at 10:45 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Thanks for all your wonderful comments!
I’m puppy sitting tonight – which is why I go running off so quickly! Potty training is tedious, at best! But little Cookie is SO worth it!
Can you tell Bob is in LOVE?
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:04 pm #
Wolfkazzy WolfChick says:Wow, I have GS ..breed them, this is one adorable cutie pie!
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:08 pm #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Oooooohhhhhh! Such a cute and beautiful puppy!!! Yah, I think you’re right, Bobs’ in love, so’s Cookie though, I’m sure. Great pick! Hope all is well with you and yours! ♥HUGS!♥

Vampire Chickie Ravin says:3 mama’s 22 kittens!
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:17 pm #
Purple Chick aka Violet says:WOW !!!!! That’s a lot of kittens , Ravin…. when were they born?
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:19 pm #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:a litle over a week ago, they are so cute, and loving!!
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:26 pm #
Purple Chick aka Violet says:How cute they are, Ravin…. I love cats but Eric is extremely allergic to cats…. so we can only have dogs…. have you started looking for homes for them yet?
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:29 pm #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Bri and I are keeping 2, Nancy (sis/roomie) is keeping 2 as well, we’ve already got homes waiting for 10 of them, and still looking.
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:31 pm #
grama rose aka stormy says:OMG Ravin I would DIE in your house…I am so allergic to cats….They are cute little things though..I can’t believe I lived through ten puppies…what a great pic this is!!!
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:33 pm #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Wow! 10 puppies! Way cool!!
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:41 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Sue, this is the perfect pick to introduce Cookie to the rest of the LB family! (I’ve already “met” her — she’s a beauty!!!
) Bob looks soooooo happy & so does she!
Nothing as cute, though, as a puppy napping with her ball in a sunbeam! Love & hugs to all of you! Has Misha come out of the basement yet? LOL
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:42 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Ravin, that pile of kitties looks adorable!
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:55 pm #
Chippy Chick aka Lindys says:Wonderful puppy and a great pic to match! Congrats on your new baby! Rosie’s my baby (that’s her in my profile pic). It wasn’t that long ago I was doing the potty training thing, but worth every trying moment!
On Mar 04, 2010 at 11:58 pm #
Chippy Chick aka Lindys says:BTW Ravin, I love your kitties! SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! 22 snuggy, cuddlely balls of fur! What a dream!

Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Thanks!

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Oh heavens I miss puppy breath!!! This is a beautiful pick just like puppy Cookie.
Oh I envy you. I would love to get a female doxy again and breed again. Hubby Ted says no. We had 4 litters and then vet said get Mommy Tiffany spayed because more than 4 litters brings a good chance for breast cancer. I ended up keeping one pup from all but one litter, so Ted says no.
On Mar 05, 2010 at 12:13 am #
Faithful Chick aka Faith says:I used to joke it isn’t house breaking puppy but the owner instead. Our babies were nearly all done with house breaking when they left at 8 weeks. We had a 6×4 birthing box blankets at one end and wee pads at the other. Next step wee pads all around the box up to the gate, until we took down the gate from the den and the next was at the back door. Rule #1 what goes in puppy’s mouth goes almost immediately out the other end until their bladder enlarges to hold it. Oh my have a good time, I know it is cold there. That’s the only good thing about being in Florida. I am a little warmer.

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Cute Kitties Ravin
On Mar 05, 2010 at 12:15 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:I’m loving all these animal stories! Ravin, you must have your hands full with all those kittens! And Stormy, I’d be nuts with 10 pups – it was bad enough with 6 when I was MUCH younger!
Lynn, Misha has NOT come out of the basement yet – I carried her upstairs while Cookie was sleeping and made her sniff Cookie – she arched, hissed, and launched herself out of my arms. You’d think she could handle training another pup – after all, she had to train Bandit!
On Mar 05, 2010 at 12:29 am #
Wolfkazzy WolfChick says:Try living with three litters of puppies at the same time, total is 18 pups , two litters of mini Aussies and one of German Shepherds at the moment
Probably will quit breeding though I still have a waiting list of people wanting puppies from me. It’s been a long twelve years of breeding. Have fun with your new pup, I keep coming back to look at her pic…looks like a GS pup without a tail LOL hard to see the other breed in her, wonder if her ears will come up like a regular GS pup??
got one 4 month old here that has a cone head ears (naturally at the moment). Keep us updated!
On Mar 05, 2010 at 12:32 am #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Heh, Midnight Storm~aka~Stormy, Nancy’s black lab, and Henry, her timber wolf/black lab mix, think the kittens are theirs. It’s hysterical watching the mama kitties going back and forth with the 2 BIG dogs, all of them trying to relocate kittens from their 3 mama, 22 kitten, communal box.
On Mar 05, 2010 at 12:35 am #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Yah, we ALL have our hands full..well, except for buttmunch…he just sits on his a$$ and plays WoW ….the jerk.
On Mar 05, 2010 at 1:03 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Wolfkazzy, I commend you for your patience and stamina! Cookie’s mom is GS, and her dad is blue heeler, but I can’t figure out where she got the fuzzy coat from…it will be interesting to see how she grows! If her paws tell the story, she’ll definitely look GS!
On Mar 05, 2010 at 7:41 am #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Awwww she’s sooooo cute!!!!! Enjoy puppy training!!
Cheyenne took a while to train because she was sooooo naughty, but she’s sooo worth it (and over it now) and I enjoyed every minute of training her…except the potty training LOL!
On Mar 05, 2010 at 8:33 am #
Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Welcome to Cookie! She is a beauty!!!!
On Mar 05, 2010 at 8:34 am #
Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Ravin- thats a lot of kitties
Wolfkazzy – I am amazed you have any time left for us Lima Beaders!
On Mar 05, 2010 at 1:23 pm #
FaeryGoth Chick says:OMG, what a gorgeous and cute dog Cookie is!!! So happy for you Sue
And Ravin, so many new kitties… you have some work to do
On Mar 05, 2010 at 7:07 pm #
Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Oh Sue, I am so envious of you!
) Have fun with your new baby and keep us updated on her!
Cookie is beautiful and she looks like she is a real sweetie! I’m a sucker for German Shepherds. My big boy Strider, would love to have a her for a playmate!
(Me too!

Chicky Zee aka Alice says:What a cute dog and ravin good liuck to you !!!!
On Mar 05, 2010 at 9:08 pm #
Daisy Chick - Dawn says:This is a great pick. I love pupppies. Good luck to you with your new baby.
On Mar 06, 2010 at 7:59 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Sue, maybe Misha is tired of playing nanny to puppies! LOL Tell her you REALLY need her help with Cookie and then (maybe) she’ll come back upstairs to stay…..maybe…..
On Mar 06, 2010 at 8:18 pm #
Celticcrossing says:Oh wow all those pups and kitties too! Animal Farm!! lol
And here I was saying that I’d love to get another pup to hang with 6 yr Black Lab Adara. I can’t imagine having 18 in the house!!
On Mar 06, 2010 at 11:12 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Cookie thanks you all for welcoming her into our animal farm! But I have to keep her away for now, cuz I’m sure she has kennel cough – and Bob took her to the vet appt this morning, but he didn’t have the patience to wait an additional 2 hours past her appt for the vet to see her! She is just pitiful right now, poor baby!
On Mar 06, 2010 at 11:29 pm #
K H says:Such a cutie!!!! Congratulations on the new pooch!!!! Daisy, Happy and Zoe send their love!!!!
On Mar 07, 2010 at 1:28 am #
Kitty Chicky Cat says:Awwww! Such a cute puppy!
I hope poor Cookie feels better soon!! kennel cough is nasty!! But just wait till she feels better, I have a feeling she will be eating you out of house and home!
lol
