| Week 5 Maggie Pictures (Click on thumbnails to enlarge) |
May 15th -- Saturday (click thumbnails to enlarge)
Maggie's ridge -- pretty darn close to perfect -- symmetrical and long! She also loves her ostrich, pictured in the above photos. There are lots of parts to chew on.
Below, Maggie's new digs. No more whelping box for this girl! The only fleece in the pen is under her bed. The rest is pee-pee pads and newspapers. We've found
that this is a great way to teach them to discriminate where they potty. As she becomes more responsible, then we expand the 'fleece' area more and more to where
she is pottying only in one area.
Also, note her princess 'cuddler' bed. I realized, when working at home one day, that many times Maggie would cry because she wanted something to sleep up
against -- definitely worth the $37. She loves it! This has caused quite the stir in our household, since the older girls are convinced that they were NEVER treated like
that and certainly don't have a luxurious bed like this now. They have to console themselves with their LL BEAN bags -- poor girls! :-)

Above, Martha demonstrating that a carrot is more tasty than a finger. Above, Mike introducing Maggie to benefits of relaxing on the front porch,
with Grandma Ella giving Maggie an interested sniff. To the right, Mike inspecting Maggie to see if she's cute enough. Below, Martha introducing
Maggie to Granny Ella and Aunt Eva. And, directly below, Dinah doing her best to herd them away from her baby. She doesn't want them near
her. To the far right, Aunt Eva sniffing out Maggie and deciding that maybe she isn't a grub after all. Once she figured that out she became
uncontrollably excited, wanting to play -- which of course, we would not allow.

Above, the "Paradigm" girls! This is pretty much how we live our lives... laying around sunnying ourselves. (HA, at least not the 2-legged
girl!) And, Maggie decides to take advantage of the opportunity for a quick suckle! Maggie is starting to eat better, but isn't impressive yet.
