Promise continues to adore Allison

Promise will sit for hours with Allison while she sleeps! She's preparing for her own babies, I'm sure!

Promise and Allison

Promise takes every opportunity to get close to Allison. In this photo, it appears Allison is also enjoying Promise! Speaking of "babies" Promise's tummy is getting larger by the day now. She is due in a little over 2 weeks with her puppies.

Promise, the Labradoodle, loves "her" new baby, Allison

What a pretty baby!

My new niece - Allison Faith Gilliam

Even though I normally post pictures of puppies here, I couldn't resist posting a couple pictures of my new niece. Allison was born August 5th and weighed in at 7 lb. 1 oz. She arrived at 1:01 p.m. and is as cute as can be, as you can see from the pictures :-) She'll be a labradoodle lover for sure, as her Mom and Dad will be raising puppies too, in the future.

Labradoodle Puppies at 5 weeks.

Here are the puppies at 5 weeks of age. They had their first outing today (before it got too hot), and seemed to enjoy their time out in the fresh air. This is a really fun age as they're starting to develop their personalities.

This puppy is not grouchy - just not thrilled about sitting and having her picture taken :-)
