Clover's 3 cute puppies

I had a chance to take my dog's puppies while she's having dinner.....aren't they cute and lovable? 

Clover with her new pups

My dog Clover, gave birth to 3 cute little pups last night, I have taken couple of pictures of them, all I can see are two little heads, sucking milk from Clover...:-) they're cute!  So adorable!

 

Clover, a papillon dog gave birth to 3 beautiful and cute puppies

Clover, our Papillon dog gave birth to three beautiful puppies last night from 10:30PM until passed 3 AM.  I was up all night looking after her as she took care the three of them....what an amazing dog!  I have never seen a female dog cared and looked after her puppies...this would be my first time....I can imagine how stressed and frustrated she was as this was her first time giving birth to 3 beautiful puppies....No pictures yet as they're too small and they cuddling to their mother dog, Clover.  Clover was a mess when I saw her this morning, she got out and went outside to do some business of her own...meanwhile our male

Sam and Clover waiting for me to let them in.  Aren't they cutie pies?

Clover

Papillon dog, Sam was shocked and disturbed as there were 3 puppies crying early morning....poor Sam, doesn't know what's going on....Clover does not want Sam to be closed to the puppies as of yet, she started growling at him whenever he wanted to see the puppies and Clover. 

ROAST BEEF FOR DINNER

A roast beef for dinner tonight, a 2.5 lbs. of chuck roast, I added fresh garlic, fresh onions, fresh rosemary, and fresh English thyme, all from the garden.  In addition 3 stalks of store bought celery....kosher salt and black pepper to taste....with sautéed  green trio of collards, mustard, and turnips.....Yummy!

Fine China Teacups added to Collection

Today, I went out to look for some garage sales in our area...I found a place where they have these teacups made in Dorset, England, floral designs teacup, no saucers to match, still a good buy for $1.00 for 5 teacups.....no chips or scratches....

 

 

SERPENTINE DRUM BEADS CHOKER AND A PAIR OF EARRINGS

Late last night before going to bed, I thought about making some jewelries...these are pair of serpentine drum earrings and choker (fits to 17 inch neck) made of gold filled wires, cut up 1 1/2 inch to make eye pins (I love making eye pins, getting used to make a loop) and gold filled ear wires.
