Three Days Old

Hilo and the puppies are all doing great!!  Hilo is a "natural" at being a mom, and is very attentive to her babies.....who are getting cuter every time I peak in the whelping box :)  Everybody here chooses a different "favorite" each day as it is too hard to stick with just one!  Here are a couple of pictures to help prove my point.  It is very easy to love faces that look like this......

 

OK......I would be a really awful "dog mom" if I didn't mention how much we love the other special doodle in our lives :)  Let's say that Kona is "doing his best" with all the changes here.....lol.  He hasn't really figured out what Hilo did to deserve all the special treats he sees going in and out of the new big white castle she lives in :)  Luckily he does feel like we have paid extra special attention to him......
I set up the futon beside the whelping box, and Kona thinks it is his new dog bed :)  Here he is lying in his new favorite spot.......
