After a long midnight meal, Ms. Pink needed a place to rest her weary head and get some sleep. Momma Juneau had the perfect pillow.

This is just lovely. I rarely have seen such an emotionally moving picture of a puppy and its mom.

What a great way to start the holiday. If that doesn't get one in great mood, a pulse must be missing. I especially love her little pink tongue. That's a great shot Jim.

Hey Jim,

This is just beautiful.

Thanks everyone. Sometimes, just sitting in the whelping box with mom and the kids presents amazing photo ops. Plus, it is so soothing to the soul. Puppies are amazing. They change so much every day. At this stage, we handle them a lot so they'll associate us with their earliest sensory memories. Juneau is being a great mommy and she really loves having us in with her. When the pups are nursing, she falls asleep and snores . She remembers when she was a puppy in that same whelping box with our hands helping her nurse. She wants those puppies to feel about us the same way she does. And to watch the natural bond between mom and pups is really incredible. Juneau still isn't all that interested in cleaning them but she watches me closely when I'm doing it just to make sure I do the job correctly .

Thanks, Jim. We're setting new records for "cute" with this crew .

Just posted the alternative shot on FaceBook and solicited preferences. Received over 50 comments. Here's the alternative:



The only essential difference is the presence of mom's OOF head behind the baby in my original post. If you'd care to vote, I'd love to hear your opinions.

I love the version with mummy's head far more.

So sweet - beautiful image .
