Congrats on the pups, onewish. I hope they will all thrive...they are certainly cuties. I have to say that I do hope our country one day gets with the program and bans tail docking and ear cropping like many other nations (UK, for example). There is a boxer in town here that still looks like a boxer, even with a tail. I'm sure it just takes some getting used to.

Victor, that is a fabulous shot of Crash.

My poor Mickey is a mess right now. His inverted tail is all inflamed- on the subject of tails, I dearly with Boston Terrier breeders would start breeding for longer tails, for the health of the breed). Bostons are supposed to be born with short tails but many now have shorter and shorter ones as breeders strive to produce short backed dogs. And he's in a cone because he has a small eye ulcer. I don't know how I've managed to go ten years with Bostons and not have an eye issue, but I guess my luck is up.
