Colorado Mountain Dog Puppies

Thaddeus is sweet, a little shy, but always ready for a snuggle. He's the smallest male.

Ophelia is solid. She's in the middle in size, and in personality. I do think she'll grow into her feet and her surroundings as soon as there's a few less puppies around.

With a forward personality, Yara is front of the line for everything — to get out, to get in, to eat, to drink, to get picked up, to get a new toy. She isn't aggressive, but she knows what she wants.

My sweet Penelope. Sometimes Petunia. Sometimes Peanut. She's the tiniest of the pups, even since birth. I weighed her daily for quite a while and gave her a little extra puppy paste. But while she's small, she has a big personality. She's not afraid to push puppies out of the way to eat, or get into a friendly game of tussle.

Rosalie is living a bit into what comes to mind from her name — demure, quietly there, not getting pushed around but definitely doing pushing around. She looks at you so sweetly and melts your heart.

Nellie is just Nellie. When there's puppies clamoring for attention, she's near the back making someone play with her.

Benedict often is patiently hanging around for the flurry to die so he can get his turn. As soon as everyone gets their pets and goes to eat, he runs up for a little love before he goes to eat.

Personality-wise I often mix up Matilda and Ophelia. Solid and in the middle, fluffy and soft, sweet and cuddly.

This girl lives up to her name. Right at weaning her tummy got a little sideways. Some meds and 3 days of alone time with mama turned her into a chonker! She may be small, but she's fierce!

Is it Phil-o-meena or Phil-OM-ena? Ask your kids and get ready for a debate. What's not up for debate is this girls sweet face and personality. She doesn't demand, and she doesn't miss out, she just gets what she needs.
