I came across some more pics of Rio's pups. All 10 piled high sleeping. Hank & Trace can be picked from the bunch, the others we can only guess.
After giving a few away & misfortunate accidents we now have 4 of these pups. (Trace, Molly, Panda & Boz)
This picture was taken before they could see or hear.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I was ecstatic to see this amazing lady in the 2023 "Crazy for Bratz Kidz Lot." Admittedly, my main reason for purchasing the $5 bin of 30 plus dolls was the Bratz. I had noted a number of enticing Bratz Kidz floating around the bottom of the blue plastic tub. In fact, I was so distracted by my large headed friends, that I hardly paid any mind at all to the Barbies who tagged along. Once my sister and I were at home, I came upon the exciting discovery of not just one Potty Training Pups Barbie, but TWO!!! That's right, the child who once owned the lot had the blonde AND African American variations!!! It's not something I experience all that often. As a kid myself, I usually bought only the African American version. Since Barbies weren't cheap at the store, it was a rarity for me to get both the blonde and AA versions. I am not sure if the bin came from siblings, or a kid who simply loved the Potty Training Pups dolls enough to want two. Since both gals were still sporting their original dresses, I'm leaning more towards siblings. That and of course the fact that there were duplicated pieces to "1st Edition" Bratz Cloe (suggesting there were once upon a time two Cloe dolls). I'm not sure why the previous owner(s) didn't play with this gorgeous Barbie doll. I adore her Adria/Desiree head mold. Mattel didn't use this sculpt much when I was a kid. Normally, the African American Barbies I bought in stores featured the beautiful Asha mold (sometimes the older Christie one). Since Barbie was so lightly played with (if at all), she cleaned up spectacularly!
3 North Shore "Pups", GE Steeple cabs, are southbound passing Highwood Shops with 2 loads of coal for Highland Park. January 1961. From my collection.
A litter of Gerbil pups all enjoying a nap after an exhausting playtime... We were shocked when they all just settled down to sleep.
Check out the little one in the middle, dead to the world.

Sirius (Alpha Canis Majoris) is the brightest star in the night sky. Its apparent brightness is due to it being close (8.6 light years) and because it is 25x brighter than our sun. For thousands of years Sirius has been associated with either dogs or dog-like gods. Its closeness to the sun during northern hemisphere summers was historically thought to add additional heat (with the sun) to create the Dog-Days-of-Summer which adversely affects both dogs and men. The star, Sirius, marks the eye of the large hunting dog belonging to the mighty celestial hunter Orion and thus is often referred to as the Dog Star, even though its real translation is “the scorching one” or “the brilliant one”.
Sirius is a double star. Its much dimmer companion is a White Dwarf (the collapsed core of a star after its nuclear life is over). It is called “Sirius B” or “The Pup”. The Pup is smaller than the Earth in size, but its total mass is nearly equal to the mass of our sun. Its density is off the chart, a teaspoon of this star would weigh over 2,000 pounds on Earth. The Pups surface temperature is far hotter than our sun and even that of Sirius itself (remember no nuclear reactions are taking place in the Pup).
The Pup circles Sirius every 50 years and its orbit is strongly elliptical. Only during the part of the orbit that takes it away from Sirius do amateur astronomers have a chance to see the Pup. At other times it is just too close to bright Sirius to be seen. We are currently in luck. The Pup is now 12 arcseconds from Sirius and its distance will be growing over the next few years.
Do not be fooled by the Pup’s distance and brightness (magnitude 8.5), it is still very, very difficult to see. The problem is that Sirius is so bright that the Pup is lost in the glare. It is currently doable in telescopes of 100mm and above without having to resort to fancy tricks like occulting bars or special filters. But only if everything else is perfect. If the telescope has any tube currents, is not perfectly collimated, or is of inferior quality you will likely not see it. Even if your telescope is perfect you are still going to need a stable atmosphere. If Sirius appears to be changing colors or twinkling through your telescope, then don’t waste your time looking for the Pup. If Sirius is a rock-solid white point of light, then up the magnification and go for the Pup. It is not often I can find the Pup with my 155mm refractor; the atmosphere is rarely stable enough. On one exceptional night, about a year ago, I teased out the Pup with my 110mm refractor, but I have not yet seen it with my 85mm and 60mm refractors (but I have tried). I would be curious to hear if anyone has spotted the Pup in something less than a 100mm telescope. It should be possible.

Elephant seal pup at Point Reyes National Seashore near the historic life boat station. I watched him/her swim up and get onto shore trying to avoid the surf. Those big eyes just make me smile.
Sopwith Pup (9917/G-EBKY), The Shuttleworth Collection. Best of British Airshow, Old Warden, 12th May 2024.
We were in La Jolla waiting for sunset to take some long exposure shots of the La Jolla Tidepools when we noticed some sea lion pups playing in the waves. These two seemed to be having a great time playing in the surf and we had fun taking some shots of them before sunset arrived.
NS 2103 is dwarfed by 7227 both with Conrail heritage. Time is short for the pup but the Mac will live to see another rebuild.

Two sibs perch on a grassy log at Trout Lake, Yellowstone NP. This year, momma had three healthy pups, although one was constantly distracted and left behind. The wayward pup would peep loudly until momma came back and retrieved it!
While doing my daily Harbor seal observations, I found this pup in the mud flats crying for its mom. I usually do not pick up pups without leaving them for a bit to make sure they have not been abandoned.
It is against the law (I volunteer for a Allied whale a local rescue organization), there is a chance their mother will come and get them, and the older pups can bite and have nasty virus'. Best to call a local rescue organization, aquarium, the coast guard or if all else fails the local police.
All the other seals had left the haulout so they wouldn't get stranded by the low tide. This little guy was way up on the mudflats bleating desparately. He was beginning to look dehydrated, he was thin and his eyes were a bit sunken.
It was a mile walk up the hill to the house and we both got pretty sweaty; the pup squirming and bawling in my arms.

If you come across a pup like this on the beach, DO NOT TOUCH IT! Observe from a distance and out of sight. Look for the mother, ideally for a full tide cycle if you have time. Mothers often rest in the sea and only return to their pups when they see it is safe to do so! If you are concerned because you cannot stay to observe the pup or you cannot see the mother, do not hesitate to ring the Seal Sanctuary on 01326 221361. They will act immediately and either send out an observation or rescue team. DO NOT TOUCH THE PUP YOURSELF, as much for your own safety as that of the pup!

Just for fun, here's a wider angle shot of the seal pup on the iceberg, so you can see the awesome scenery we had all around us in Prince William Sound!
We're pretty sure this guy was just sunning himself on the beach, but some thought his little "arm" may have been stuck under the rock. Everyone I saw was pretty good about keeping their distance except for one man who took a stick and tried to move the rock he thought the seal was stuck under.
After stumbling upon this little guy, I read about how often times the mothers leave the pups on the beach while they go hunting. The article went on to talk about how often people try to "rescue" seal pups that don't need rescuing, despite their apparent helplessness. It is not uncommon for seal pups to end up in motel bathtubs as well-meaning rescuers try to find someone to save it. The reality is, there is no facility on the Oregon coast that will take the animals. It's actually against state law to harass stranded seal pups, and that includes removing them from the beach for their "protection."
