 Papillon Girl 2

 

Below are the emailed updates from Vala as her "Tiny" gets bigger. Vala is an incredible artist and Tiny gets to be her model. Look at the expression in her eyes. She looks a lot like her father, Magi.

Congratulations Beth on your success, thanks for keeping us posted. Design is gorgeous. I love to be in the loop. Destiny (Tiny) is the star of our life now. I just sold a painting of Tiny in a gallery in Colorado. I just finished another one! I'll send a pic later of that painting.

Jack is gorgeous. I love his little face and ears. I'm in love with him just seeing the pictures.
I'm glad you have a new best friend. Maybe, if I can convince Don some day, and if you would be agreeable, Jack and Destiny could fall in love and have puppies. Destiny is 7.5 pounds now at 8 months. I would love to have puppies and be a mama thru Destiny. If only for one time. Don is not so convinced. He loves Tiny and think it would be hard on her. I think she'd make a great mom judging by the way she licks and cleans us up. She is a little licker. She will give everyone a licky kiss that reaches out to her. She's wonderful, very loving. Thank you so much for this little bundle of blessings in our life. We have a happier home because of her. She's smart too. Easy to train. I got flowers and a card from her on mother's day, signed Destiny. That was very cute, Don's idea.
I just finished a painting of her. I'll send you a picture of it soon.

"Destiny" is a fortunate pup when she drove off with Vala. This is her at 4 months of age in her Santa skirt! Papillons at this stage do not have their adult coats in yet, but I can already see her looking like dad and mom!

   

Girl 2 Weighed 6.0 oz at birth 3 days old. Her dew claws are removed and she is doing well!!

Below you can see the differences in their colors. The boy is on the right.

 

Tiny's ears never went up while she was here, but I strongly suspected that they would stand up. Here is the email that confirmed it.

Her ears were up fully 5 days after we got her. A heaped teaspoon of yogurt daily and they perked up like sprouts. She has gorgeous huge ears. We love her. She is the most beautiful dog I ever saw. Love her snout, so elegant and the stripe in the middle is straight now. She is spirited. Mouthing and biting quite a bit. We are doing our best to train her. She responds well. She knows sit, lay down, fetch, and jump (thru a hoop). Very smart gal.
She got into a tissue paper and eggshell. I was so worried. Then she vomited and pooped eggshells like a hen for the remainder of the day. Poor little thing. She loves shoes, yammi yamm.
She pees on the pad in her cage but still sneaks the poops in on the shag carpet in the living room if not directed to the pad. She will pee if I stand over her saying potty potty potty looking at me big eyed while at it.
She is very good. We adore her. I'll send more pics before long with her ears up. She is sleeping on her back now with her pink belly exposed. We had a party here last night. She loved everyone. Just a little star. Then occasionally we'd hear our guests go ouch as she gnawed on their finger. I think she's just teething. Hopefully she'll stop that. She loves cords, I can't let her out of my sight really. We take real good care of our little baby. Don loves her too. He bought her a pink sweater and a dress :) and fur spray so she smells like she just came from the hair salon. He's so proud of her looks and so happy with her majestic ears. He loves to show her off. We tell everyone about your wonderful family farm with all the minis etc.
Come visit sometime if you head this way. Perhaps come up and see the bull riding in Cave Creek one night with the girls and stop by our house first. Real bulls and cowboys and barbecue at the buffalo wing restaurant.
Desitiny would love to see you. And we have a house full of artworks.
