NANNY'S SWEET SPRINKLEE SURPRISE

"Cupcake"

March 1, 2010

 

Cupcake's beginning, was one I will never forget...she was one of twelve.  Her Momma, Nera, not having nearly enough nipples to go around, was very willing to let Bessie, foster some of her pups.  One of which was Cupcake.  You see, Bessie had lost a single pup litter, two weeks prior, and was mourning the loss of him.  She took right to Nera's pups, giving them one sniff, proceeding to curl up beside Nera's bundles of joy.  Loving them, as if they were her very own.  Not knowing if Bessie's milk would come in, we bottle fed, to supplement, hoping this crazy idea would all work out.  And, sure enough, a few days later, her milk began to flow.

You see, Cupcake loved to eat, right from the start.  And, to this day, she still enjoys meal times, more than anything.

She is growing, and growing, and growing.  We're wondering when she will stop.

This is one of my favorite's, of little CuppieCake. 

She's 7 weeks old here.

Cupcake has celebrated her first birthday.

Still growing, and developing nicely. 

Playing in the water bucket is one of her favorite past times, along with romping with the babies, Daisy and Rose. 

Cupcake sure isn't camera shy, like her Daddy Noah.  

More like, "can I have that thing", and keeps putting her nose print on my lense.
