And then there were TWO!

And then there were TWO! Keeping her litter name, Baby "Harley" (Moonlight's Easy Rider) joins the Scott Family in Orange County. Not pictured is Uncle Leo who is Lyra's littermate. I am *so excited* for Harley to be their 2nd Vizsla! When the time comes, she will take a twirl in the show ring, but for now enjoy that puppy breath! Bye Bye Harley! We'll miss you!

We're 7 1/2 weeks old!

The Easy Riders waiting patiently (for about 1/100th of a second) for dinner. 

7 Week Puppy Photos!

The Easy Rider's photo album has been updated -- finally had a chance to take a bunch of photos with a real camera and post them.  It is not "easy" raising six 7 week old puppies, four adult dogs and working full time!  Phew, I am exhausted.

Beautiful Lyra and her babies

Aunt Zene loves those babies!

Aunt Zene (Lyra's 1/2 sister - different father) loves the babies and likes to get in the whelping box to help clean and snuggle the babies. Lovely temperaments are so important and Zene is one of the best. 

Of course I allowed Lyra to make the decision whether or not Zene was allowed near the babies, but I think Lyra welcomes the extra puppy-sitting. 

We're 2 Weeks Old -- check out our photos and our namesakes . . .

The Easy Riders are now 2 Weeks Old and a few are starting to eyes open a little bit, but not all the way (they were also tired/post mealtime when I took these photos).

And exciting stuff -- our special littler collars arrived in the mail, these were purchased on Etsy (WinnieDoodleProducts) -- they are adorable!  I previously ordered from a vendor in Europe but they never arrived, these came from Florida and arrived in 2-3 days. Yay! To clarify, Opel is white/red, Ariel is yellow/baby blue.

I also included their namesake vintage motorcycle -- here's Opel (white/red), Harley (green), Ace (blue), Indian aka Indie (pink), Ariel (yellow/baby blue) and Benelli aka Ben (burgundy). 

All lined up :)

Our Big Day . . . tails and dew claws at the vet's office

Lyra nurses the puppies in the back of my SUV before the vet appointment.

Post-nursing/pre-procedure nap.

It's been a long day for Ariel (Gold Girl). You can see the dew claw is removed and surgical glue is applied.

Harley (Green Girl) shows off her newly docked tail. 

First vet visit and first car ride - CHECK!

The Easy Riders had a big day -- the headed off in their first car ride (over an hour each way) to Yorba Regional Animal Hospital for a vet check, dew claw removal and tail docking.  The puppies did well, Lyra was a bit worried being separated from them for the car ride (for their safety -- she was crated and the puppies were placed in a small box with blanket and heating disc).  

All in all though, everyone did well and the tails look great.  They have one stitch at the end that will fall out/dissolve and they are starting to look like little mini Vizslas (instead of rats!).

In other news they have all gained 2 oz. per day since birth which is right on track to double their weights at 1 week old. 

The Easy Riders are here!
