Oh and another note: Pepper, the father, was neutered in January and Lily was spayed in April. So, unfortunately, or perhaps more fortunately for me as birthing puppies was a lot of work, there will be no more Morkie puppies from this pair. These two, along with my girlfriends 9 year old Yorkie female, are now enjoying their time in our fenced-in back yard as happy, active dogs. Lily's parental duties are over.
Sometimes, I swear that the male was never allowed outside before we rescued him. He so enjoys running through the grass, barking at squirrels, and having a look of wonderment at every sight and sound outside. At times, he looks like he's smiling. I kind of wish I knew him better before we got him. The way he prances around in the grass reminds me of a Clydesdale horse. Had I known that prior to his rescue, his name might have been Prancer! |
