Liliana said at 9:38 p.m. on Jun 4, 2007: ¡¡¡¡Cómo están creciendo!!!! Me imaginé que habías viajado a Viçosa... En la primera foto...¡qué carita triste! ¿Por qué...?
Mjpileggi said at 9:44 p.m. on Jun 4, 2007: They are so adorable! I love the first photo! Well, I love them all!
Eduardo.affonso said at 9:47 p.m. on Jun 4, 2007: Triste? Acho que não. Labradores são naturalmente reflexivos, pensativos, adeptos da meditação e dos olhares perdidos na distância. Se bem que alguma tristeza é mesmo possível (e quanta!) já que na semana passada a fêmea preta morreu afogada (no pote de água!). Agora a família está reduzida a 4 fortíssimos filhotes (o macho preto, que é o Tom; as duas fêmeas chocolate - Cacau e Alcione - e o macho chocolate, ainda sem nome).
Eduardo.affonso said at 9:57 p.m. on Jun 4, 2007: MONICA: They are really adorable, just like their parents. It's amazing to notice their different personalities, too. One of the brownies is very slow, quiet and meditative; another one is smarter and faster. I'll keep a brown female with me, but it's hard to choose which one...
Zippywinds said at 10:13 p.m. on Jun 4, 2007: awwwwwww soooooooo sweet and adorable :) cute and great pics, enjoy and congrats :)
Pkeener said at 10:35 p.m. on Jun 4, 2007: awwwwwwwwww. Like Zippy, I said it the whole way down. These are really good shots, Edu! My little darlings are in pic #9, neh? I must say, the last pic is very cool. So artistic! Nice job with your new camera. You are looking pretty cute, too, in pic #6 (Alice?)
Hilah said at 12:04 a.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Their all adorable I would pic them all. If it's hard to choose let her choose you. Well Grandpa you have beautiful grandchildren.
NavyMom said at 1:48 a.m. on Jun 5, 2007: oh a femal.e...and you'll call her ALberta?
Nina1960 said at 4:48 a.m. on Jun 5, 2007: There are lovely and so cute. Great pictures~
Love2laugh said at 5:40 a.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Eduardo - they are just adorable. I just want to give them a squeeze. Grandpa looks pretty cute too... and proud. :) I imagine choosing which one to keep is going to be tough. I think it's amazing how even at such an early age you can already see the differences in their little personalities. These pictures are precious. It's going in my favs... FOR SURE !!! I love watching the progression and hope you will continue to let us enjoy them with you.
Wlk68 said at 9:19 a.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Oh my gosh, these little guys are sooooo precious!!!! I want one!!!!
Bxrgirl27 said at 9:28 a.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Wow - they are getting big and still so cute!
DEE-Trow said at 10:23 a.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Eduardo, they are adorable. You really took some wonderful pictures of them. They are getting so big already!

Weeee... can I have the cute little brown ones please...... please please please..... I LOVE them all actually.. can i be greedy to have them all? Lol.. no, just one? This will be my Fav pics!!!
JeffS said at 6:13 p.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Beautiful! I remember the first day I saw Tessie and she looked just like the black ones. It was exciting and a little terrifying...
Alcamac57 said at 6:52 p.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Caro Sidney, (posso revelar seu outro nome prá comunidade "tabuleira"? ou isso vai queimar teu filme?) Não importa. Agora já foi.
Gostei das fotos dos seus filhotes. Quem é a mãe? A Bené ? Gostei tanto que até contei prá uma conhecida minha que adora cães : a Malvina Cruela. Aliás , do jeito que as coisas vão por aí, creio que em breve vc poderá produzir seu próprio filme : 301 Labradores, com a participação de Rodrigo Santoro no papel da vilã.
EMA said at 8:59 p.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Adoro o olhar terno e tristonho dos seus cachorrinhos. São liiiindos! Lamento a morte da cachorrinha! Deve ter sido um desgosto para você! As fotos estão muito bonitas mesmo!
Nmat said at 10:53 p.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Wow, time does fly by. What gorgeous pups, so strong and healthy. I love the chocolate ones. How old are they now?
Sacajawea610 said at 11:00 p.m. on Jun 5, 2007: puppies are cuter than human babies
Jigs said at 11:56 p.m. on Jun 5, 2007: Avô Edu, they look just like you... though they are so much cuuuuuuuuuter and adorable! ;-)
Pkeener said at 11:58 p.m. on Jun 5, 2007: which one?
Anjad said at 8:31 a.m. on Jun 6, 2007: They are adorable Eduardo. Beautiful pictures, the first one is my favorite.
Margaretshoemaker said at 7:18 p.m. on Jun 6, 2007: They are so adorable.
DeeLee said at 11:30 p.m. on Jun 7, 2007: Awwwwwww...I want one of the chocolate pups. I have a choc.,yellow and black lab. My choc. is 8yrs.old and he still acts like a puppy...My yellow is 13 and still acts like a puppy. I guess labs always stay young. Great pictures.
rita.mandarino_siemens@***.br said at 11:04 a.m. on Jun 8, 2007: Adorei todos mas os marrons...e os olhinhos?
Hilah said at 6:59 p.m. on Jun 10, 2007: WOW, they are growing so fast. I'll take them all.
Eduardo.affonso said at 8:00 a.m. on Jun 11, 2007: HILAH: Yes, they are growing fast! I'll check if DHL has a safe way to deliver them to you... :-)
RITA: Pode dizer: não são a coisa mais linda, e mais cheia de graça? Têm uns olhinhos tristes, azulados, que depois vão ficando verdes. Dá vontade de fazer um bonsai deles, e não deixar que cresçam nunca.
RETA: Labradors are among the most beautiful creatures in this world, in my opinion.
DEE: You are a lucky person! Nothing compares to the joy of having labradors around us - and you have 3 of them, and for such a long time. I have a couple: Negão (6 yo last April) and Benedita (5 yo last January), and now I'll keep one of their daughters, little Cacau (Cocoa, in Portuguese). You are right: they are babies forever, they never become adults. Just like some of us...
Vinca said at 1:35 p.m. on Jun 11, 2007: They are simply gorgeous and sooooooooooooo cute :o)The close ups of both the brown and the black ones are just too sweet. I love their soft sad looking eyes. All the shots are fantastic including the one of you :o)
Eduardo.affonso said at 5:06 p.m. on Jun 11, 2007: VINCA: I missed the credits of that photo of me with the puppies - it was taken by my 11 yo niece, Alice. She is as cute as the puppies, believe me.
Eduardo.affonso said at 7:53 p.m. on Jun 11, 2007: MARGARET, ANJA, ZIPPY, TAMMY, NINA, SHEILA, LAURA, WENDY, HEATHER: Thanks for your kind comments.
SHIRL: I once had a cat named João Alberto, and my stereo was called Alberta because of Alberta Hunter. I don't think my good friend Alberto ("Alcamac") would mind if I name one of the dogs after him...
PAM: You little Jobim is the black male (pics #4, 5, 7 8, 10 and 11). Yes, you are right: that pic in which I appear with the bunch of puppies was taken by my talented niece Alice.
HILAH: That's a good idea, to let them choose us. I read somewhere that a well trained human is the best friend a labrador can have... :-)
ALBERTO: Se continuar escrevendo nessa língua secreta que é o Português, não tem problema contar o meu nome verdadeiro y otras cositas más. Essa é a grande vantagem de falar uma língua periférica como a nossa. Sim, são a segunda ninhada da Bené e do Negão. Só descobri quando já estavam a 15 dias de nascer. Acho o Santoro a escolha perfeita para o papel ("301 Labradores" é um achado!). Será que o Walter Salles topa dirigir?
EDITE: Toda morte é uma perda irreparável, ainda mais quando olho para a Benedita (mãe da ninhada) e vejo o que a pequena Elis poderia ter se tornado: uma companheira fiel, carinhosa, inteligente. Deu mesmo muita pena. Mas os quatro que restaram são um motivo de alegria, e é isso que quero compartilhar.
NANCY: They are almost 2 months old now. I'll leave them with their parents for about 2 more months before I let them go to their new homes. They deserve a nice childhood, with their brothers, sisters and parents. That will make them better adults - just like happens with us, humans.
JIGS: Of course they do look like me - that's genetical and hereditary! I just wish I could have all their other qualities...
Pkeener said at 11:46 p.m. on Jun 11, 2007: He is my little Star. I will take good virtual care of him. I promise. Nice name for a cat. Joao Alberta Hunter!
Gretel said at 9:21 a.m. on Jun 13, 2007: o edwardo, i luv theese puppies. i wul lik one. i theenk Butch wud love him too.
Smidgentigre said at 9:23 p.m. on Jun 20, 2007: I LOVE this Tabblo! I want a puppy...so do my kids! DH won't let us...not enough room for a big dog to run.... :o(
