So need to do some updating:
Cooper (FKA York) left today with his new parents. He is going to be loved up in Lynnwood, WA by his new big brothers, mom and dad. He is going to help heal their hearts after the loss of their previous pup.
Musketeer (new name still pending) is going to live with a couple in Downtown Portland. He is going to own his own condo in the Pearl District. They are so enamored with him .
Matisse (FKA Kisses) went to live in Oregon City with her new mom, Sandra and dad, Mark. Here is Ms. Matisse winning her new mommy over. They have Emmett's full littermate, Marble. She left last Thursday and has already settled in with her new crew.
Tootsie (keeping her name) is leaving next Sunday to live in Alaska with her new mom, Chalise. She has an older fluffy blue merle Cardigan brother named, Watson (BellaxCasper) to rule. She is such a cutie and her smile is going to be missed around here.
Snickers (keeping his name) is leaving the first part of June to live in Chicago with his new mom, big sister and 3 pem siblings. He is going to stand out in the most beautiful of ways.
Stormy (FKA Skittles) is going to live with my mom and stepdad just a couple miles from our house. She is joining Liam's full littermate, Hawkeye. It will be neat to see her grow up.
Fiona (FKA Twix) is staying here with us to grow up and become a big girl show dog.
On Sunday April 22nd we had a bunch of people over to evaluate the puppies and a good old get together. It was great to see everyone and hear what they had to say. Weather was perfect! Here are some awesome photos taken by Mark Thorson.

So we have learned the hard way how hard it is to take pictures of 5 weeks old puppies. Our camera is just not fast enough. But here is what we managed.

Everyone is doing great. First to over a pound was Ms. Twix on Thursday. She weighted 1.04lbs.
Will keep adding pictures to a Picasa site. Includes the pics from the previous post and then a couple more that were taken on day 1. We will continue to add but here is the link: Liam x Polly Pups Picasa Site
Wow the last week has been such a learning process. Learned a lot while we were on Polly watch and then to be there for the actual birth was a whole other experience. I am so glad that I didn’t miss it and cannot give enough thanks and love to Kim and Mark of Samhain Kennels.
The litter was born on Monday February 20, 2011. Polly started pushing around 12:45pm and had the last puppy around 6:45pm. I had been telling Polly Friday at lunch would be great but I guess Monday at lunch is just as good.
First born- Skittles (14.0 oz)- female- very pretty little girl- I love the fact that her black ear has white / silver tip to it
Next up… York (13.7 oz)- Male — I can’t wait to see him grow up. He was born with so much brindles points.
And then…. Ms Twix (13.7 oz)- mini Liam- a big huge black stripe on one side just like him.
Next up… Musketeer (14.6 oz)- male – Can’t wait to see if that color surrounds his eye
After a little while… Tootsie (12.8 oz) female- mismark and the “smallest” of the bunch. Smallest being a relative term in a litter with such big birth weights. Immediately available to a companion/pet home due to lack of pigmentation surrounding her eyes
Next to show up… Kisses (13.8 oz)- female- the little doll. She reminds of Liam in color as a baby and I am so excited to see her grow up.
Last but not least… Snickers (13.5 oz)- male- his color is so intriguing to me. He would be the best mix of mom and dad.
Between Kisses and Snickers there was a puppy that was stillborn. We tried to resuscitate but were unsuccessful. He was a pretty blue boy. Was a very sad and hard time for me. I knew that the potential of it happening was there but wasn’t ready for it to become real. I still tear up over the little guy. 
Had it not been for Mark and Kim there would have been so many other things that could have gone wrong. I don’t think I could ever do it on my own, it is overwhelming.
If interested on being added to a waiting list please feel free to contact and I will get back to you shortly.
Well I think by the ever expanding waist band on Ms. Polly pregnancy has been confirmed. 
She was bred to Liam in the last part of December and we expect babies towards the end of February. They should be blue merle or black/white with brindle points.
I can wait to see the little ones.
