Celeste Deem, Denali Deem, Iliamna Deem, Li'l Smokey, Team Deem Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 5:00PM Just had to share this little video. Having struggled four months now with two girls who spend most of their time sleeping, eating, pooping and screaming (definitely not in that order!), it is fun to see them reaching even the smallest milestones. Being about two months developmentaly (having been born two months premature), they are just starting to interact with their world. In the last week or so this has included smiles, coos and even a few laughs. Of course they still do plenty of the other stuff (they are having a full-scale meltdown as I write this) but it is nice to see them happy for a change.

Our labs, Murphy and Lilian, have full access to the twins and this has made for a very smooth transition as we integrate our dog children with the human ones. Many people had warned us that the dogs would likely feel very jealous when the babies came home, and that they may lash out at them from being deprived of our attention. Well, we are proud to say that we had no problems on the jealousy front, and both Lily and Murphy have accepted the twins as part of the pack. Murphy is very interested in the twins and checks on them often with a nose poke or kiss on the face (yes, we said FACE!). Lilian is more indifferent but she has started sleeping by their portable crib so we think she is getting used to the idea. We really feel that keeping the dogs as included as possible has helped keep them from feeling left out or unloved. Of course, it doesn't hurt that they are good natured dogs to begin with :)
We took this video on the day the day that Denali came home from the hospital. We wanted the dogs to "find" the baby, that way they would hopefully be the ones to adopt them into the pack. Did it work out as planned? Well, take a look at the hilarity that ensued when the dogs made first contact!
Adam Deem, Celeste Deem, Denali Deem, Iliamna Deem, Li'l Smokey, Team Deem Sunday, August 7, 2011 at 9:06PM The twinkies are finally enjoying some playtime. Up till now they mostly just eat, poop, sleep and scream. It is fun having them awake and actually showin interest in the oustide world. Enjoy.
Adam Deem, Celeste Deem, Denali Deem, Iliamna Deem, Li'l Smokey, Team Deem Monday, July 25, 2011 at 10:00AM Denali and Iliamna are looking for a few good aunties and grandmas to provide some extra TLC when Dadam returns to work in early August. Candidates must be willing to cuddle, love and maybe change a diaper or two as needed. We've found a great "mom's helper" to hire [very] part-time--thanks Kassy!, but honestly...we need ALL the help we can get, even just snuggling the girls!
Must also have a current TDaP vaccine (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis [whooping cough]), as "micro-preemies" are born with very compromised immune systems, and we aren't taking ANY chances! Thanks for understanding that one caveat, and an extra thanks to friends and family who've gotten the shot for the sole purpose of visiting and helping w/the twinkies!!!
Please call, email, or contact us at lilsmokey.social@gmail.com
To those of you who have already offered, we're ready to "cash-in" if your offer still stands! :-) Thanks SO much for all of the continuing love and support.
