Lucy, the Beautiful Mohawk Girl |
To Jonah, Shiba Inu, Larsen says, "They said I'm the biggest puppy. How come you're bigger? Wait. Are you a fox?" |
"Hey, Heather," Luis wants to know, "how much baby-holding practice do you need before September?" |
|
|
|
|
As Christopher gives her a neck massage, Lucy asks Maria "Are you my mommy?" |
Upon finding a camera case, Lucy says, "Maybe I can take as many pictures of humans as they take of me. Let's see how they like that." |
"Lucy is too common," Luis grins sheepishly, "My camera theft operation will be esoteric. When I flash this beautiful & distracting smile, no one will know what hit them." |
|
|
|
|
Anchundia, the eternal lapdog, is so versatile she can lean backwards to give Christopher kisses. |
"Thank you, Anchundia," Maria says, "for being such a good mommy and taking such great care of Lucy before she could go home with us." |
"You look like you could be my puppy," Anchundia tells the stuffed animal, "but you sure don't smell like my puppies." |
|

Abstract flower pedals |
"What's the going rate for canine couriers?" Lukas inquires. |
"Lucy, help me," Lukas begs. "This is a two-pup job." |
|
|
|
|
Laughter is the best medicine, and puppies provide the best comic relief, as Lou demonstrates. |
Taking a bite out of crime |
Lucy, like all good female Siberians, barks orders at Larsen. Larsen hasn't learned not to talk back. Donnie referees. |
|
|
|
|
"Hair!" Larsen gleefully proclaims, "Yummy!" |
"I've got the fingers, Larsen. You take the hair," Lukas says. "On my count. One, two, PULL!" |
All the other snow babies loved him as they shouted out with glee, "On Prancer." |
|
|
|
|
"I've picked my lobster," Larsen claims. "So when do I get to eat?" |
"Any abandoned lobster is fair game," Lukas stakes his claim. |
"While everybody else is busy," Luis says, "the lobster is mine, and I do NOT share!" |
|
|
|
|
The Short Siberian Stare-Down |
"Look deep into my eyes," Luis commands. "You're getting sleepy. NOW LET GO OF THE TOY!"
|
"I will be a good big brother to your daughter," Christopher promises Anchundia. |
|
|
|
|
Lucy sees shoes, licks her chops, & prepares for the pounce. |
The Conquest |
The Capture. Hillary catches Lucy in the act. |

|
Larsen tries his paw at Slay the Shoe. |
"It's only fair," Larsen comments, "that as I expand, so, too, should my hiding holes." |
Black & white puppies CAN jump!
|
|
|
|
|
Heather is trying to decide if Donnie is teaching Larsen how to pray or Larsen is teaching Donnie how to be a puppy. |
With Donnie's new-found knowledge about praying, he practices being a faith healer.
|
And the saintless come marching in. |
|
|
|
|
"How would you like to meet all my kids in my classroom?" Maria asks Lucy. |
Dominos |
Follow the Leader. |
|
|
|
|
"A little salty," Larsen remarks, "but not too bad. I'll have seconds." |
Lukas likes his kisses on the lips. |
Donnie can't seem to get enough of these puppy kisses. He even steals them from Heather! |
|
|
|
|
A budding escape artist |
Planning the jump to freedom |
"Hey, turn off the camera," Larsen commands. "I'm not sharing my secrets. They can learn the great artistry of escape all on their own!" |
|
|
|
|
"I know I'm as cute as I can be," Luis tells Heather. "But go ahead. Say it again. Say it again." |
Distracting |
What puppies do 24 hours a day - water the carpet |
|
|
|
|
"Paper towels look like angel wings to me," imagines Lucy. |
How many puppies does it take to screw up a toy?
|
"How much of this loving do I have to endure?" Lucy says while Christopher pets her. "There comes a time in every girl's life when she has to break away for some mischief-making." |
|
|
|
|
Nose: The Other White Meat |
Lucy has a thing for noses.
|
LARSEN: Tail! I've got just the thing for it: my teeth!
LUCY: Christopher, be a good big brother & protect my tail.
CHRISTOPHER: I don't know. He might retaliate on my toes.

Luis looking for trouble |
Innocence |
She flies through the air with the greatest of ease for a soft & furry landing. |
|
|
|
|
"It fell right out of the sky. Is this what they call manna?" Luis asks his brothers. |
"No," L. B. educates, "It's not manna. It's what they call FUN!" |
"And for my next trick," Larsen announces, "I'll pull the towel out from under the Luis without disturbing either of them." |
|
|
|
|
"Come on over. There's still room for more!"
|
"Hey, Lou, are you awake?" Lucy asks as she bangs her paw on his head.
|
Mesmerized
|
|
|
|
|
"What do you mean duck season isn't in?" inquires Luis. |
Luis finds a solution, "Well, I'll just eat the evidence, then." |
The Galloping Furmet |
|
|
|
|
"You put your right foot in, and you shake it all about," L. B. dances. |
Single file husky style |
Larsen wants to know if killing the stuffie will look good on his resume for the K-9 Unit. |

|
"I get the top," Luis says, "You bring up the rear, Larsen." |
Luis protests Lukas' barking orders. |
Puppy Breath

|
"Look, Carl," Luis grumbles, "when I get into spring action, you have no business holding me back!" |

Puppies Everywhere |
"I love my toy of the day," Larsen says. |
"Gather 'round, children," Heather says, "Time for a bedtime story." |
|
|
|
|
L. B. (lying) & Lukas (standing) |
Lou squeezing the Lucy Charmin |
Behind every beautiful puppy face is mayhem waiting to surface. Larsen is no exception. |
|
|
|
|
Sibling Love |
L. B. says, "Do you like my headrest? It's custom-made." |
"Mr. Cameraman, you can go away now. I need my refueling time," Lukas reveals. |
|
|
|
|
L. B. waits until you think he's fast asleep. Then he will POUNCE! |
Larsen at rest |
Lucy & L. B., too cute for words |
|
|
|
|
Like Lincoln Logs, Lukas & L. B. have a perpendicular sleeping arrangement. |
While Lucy sleeps, L. B. says to the vent, "Psst. Anybody down there?"
|
Never hire a Siberian for guard duty.
