The Hand That Rocks the Cradle

Big things afoot over here at Invictus which meant I was distracted and tired and not keeping up with the blog for a whole 24 hours. My job is no more, sooner than I'd intended but fortunately in the manner which I'd intended so all is well there. It gives me more time to devote to the puppies, to the blog, and to my impending move across the country. My posse and I will hit the road at the end of May and land ourselves in Nova Scotia. Details of that move and the subsequent renovation of my new home into a dog friendly abode will be chronicled on Wee Bonny New Scotland. The dog related goo will still happen on this blog.



On to puppies. I can't seem to be able to take many photos without Miss Leeloo in them. Either this means she is a camera hog or she is spending more time with the puppies that their mother. I think the latter is the most true.






The puppies have learned to duck when Leeloo swoops in for a grab. Fortunately she is heeding my "careful" warnings more consistently and they only get bigger and stronger from here.



It's so bizarre to see Nanny Leeloo lying patiently while the puppies crawl all over her. A lot of mothers are not so tolerant.







Occassionally they check to see if she's going to provide sustenance. One person speculated that Leeloo might start lactating in response to their attention. I hope not ... Halo's boobs are more than enough.



Obviously it is a testament to the temperament of Leeloo and her parents. I haven't decided if it's puppy innocence that keeps her attention or maternal instinct. I suspect a bit of both and frankly ... I'll take either.
