April 27th & 28th, 2007: the days LiL'ER and her 8 litter mates were born.

YUP .. she 'Got Milk' !!

At one month LIL takes her job of eating very seriously.

At five weeks old LiL's social skills are already obvious.

LiL can stack at just six weeks young.

At six weeks LiL momentarily decided to strike out on her own with Mario the cat.

Waiting patiently for eye CERF exam at Cornell University Veterinary Hospital.

By seven weeks old who would blame mom for NOT letting those puppies nurse anymore.

By the time LiL'ER is eight weeks old it becomes obvious that she was born to pose.

Strike a pose, there's nothing to it. Vogue, vogue.

See what I mean?

So pretty.

LiL'ER bonded with her co-ower on the day she was born. Now she is ready to go to her new home.
