Day 16 (Monday)

Well instead of celebrating the first day of summer in Seattle yesterday we celebrated the first day of winter. Please someone make this stop! I am not sure by Vikki's posting if she just wants pictures of Ico or picture of Ico's morning sickness??? Since this is a respectable blog (at least up until a few moments ago) I will assume pictures of Ico. Ico is actually losing weight not gaining so I am increasing her food intake. I am noticing a change in the way she sits (to the side and her belly seems to be changing. She is also napping more. Vikki and I will be going for a ultrasound next week so keep paws crossed. Here is a picture of Ico at three months.

Day 15 (Sun)

Nickel and TinTin spent the weekend at an agility trial. What a surprise when we saw Dancer and Diana!!! It was a family affair (Dancer is Ico and Nickel's sister and Diana is obviously Dancer's mom). All three silver girlies did great in the trial. The only thing missing was, of course Ico. Hopefully this fall we'll have a chance to have Mom and three daughters competing together. They all have their own styles but you can certainly see that family resemblance.

In the mean time Ico spent a quiet weekend at home. Raquel says that she continues to have morning sickness, a good sign but (according to Raquel.. ha ha ha) not all that fun. Raquel... hint hint... we want some pictures!

Here’s an up date on the Pregnancy Chart.

Day 13 (Friday)

Ico and the girls loved the sun today and we went on several walks. Here is a puppy pic of Ico around two months old. Ico is back to her old self and being incredibly goofy. The only changes I am noticing so far are she is sleeping a little more and morning sickness.

Day 12 (Thursday)

These two pictures (Ico and Pico) sum up how we are all feeling in Seattle. We are tired of rain and clouds; we want sun and temperatures over 60 degrees! Everyone start thinking that so we can will mother nature into summer! Anyway Ico is doing well, nothing to report.

Hi- Vikki here....

Thought I'd up load some past pictures of Ico for those who are interested.

BACK TO THE PAST....

Ico Baby Pictures... can you pick out Greenie???

Ico's first time outside, age 4 weeks:

Who's that?~!~~

OH! It's just Auntie Eureka!!!! :)

The milk bar can be found any where!

out here......

Just follow the leader.....

Day 11 (Wednesday)

Ico's incision has healed but a half dollar size inflamed area has developed under the incision site. Dr. Wilcock stated this happens and not to panic. I've started hot compresses on the area and it should go away in three to five days. If it doesn't clear up or get's bigger Dr. W will drain it and hopefully that will be the end of that. I am noticing a change in Ico's stomach and her mammaries seem to be developing; she has started sitting to one side. In the picture at the top of her stomach you see the half dollar inflamed area and toward to bottom you can just make out the change in her mammaries.

Day 10 (Tuesday)

Day 9 (Monday)

Good early Morning, Vikki here.

It's the wee hours of the morning and I've been awoken by my neighbor's party. Since this is the first nice nights of summer, I can't really complain (although I could get mad at the fact that they didn't invite ME!). The girls are snuggled in for the night and they're blissfully asleep and gleefully chasing rabbits.

Since I'm awake I thought it would be a great opportunity to post some pics of Ico's humble beginnings....

We'll start from the VERY beginning:
TinTin ready to be done with the whole pregnancy 'thing'!



Like mother ...... Like daughter

Ico was number 4 in birth order and got the color Green collar. She was named Greenie which just happened to be the name of Raquel's car... was it meant to be? :) This is the first four puppies born... TinTin taking a break.





Ico was the fourth puppy born but the first do do everything. She was the first to walk, first to open her eyes, first to venture outside, etc... Here she is taking her first walk at just 7 days old. Most puppies aren't starting to pull themselves up onto their four legs for another 3-4 days.

She was the most fearless of the pups and as you can see ...not afraid to claim her place in the world. BTW the other puppy sharing her throne just happens to be Nickel! TinTin's head was Nickels favorite spot. To this day they both love to perch on hills to survey their territory.

It takes a village: here's Auntie Corsa watching while TinTin takes a break.
