Surprise's mom says: Surprise Petals is the first and only pup to our much adored Lily Bliss. Although we were not intending to keep any of Lilys puppies, this single pup stole our hearts from the moment we watched her be born and that was the "surprise." Lily did not show the signs of being in labor that I was watching for and the day went along as usual: We walked, played Frisbee and sat in the sun. Later that day when I took her and the others out, I noticed she was standing still and didnt come when I called her. I walked to her, but she still didn't move. I lifted her tail and -- surprise -- the pup was making her entrance in the backyard! Watching Surie grow from weighing 3 3/4 ounces and being smaller than my cell phone to a robust 1 1/2 pounds in 12 weeks has been nothing but amazing. Lily's undivided attention to her and meticulous care make us proud. Surie is an adventurer and confidently follows her mom and the other dogs, Cashew and Mercury throughout the yard. She eagerly removes any flower she can reach and runs like she got the prize. Her fur is like cashmere and her ears are like flower petals. We love her to pieces and are so happy she is ours.
[color=pink] She is beautiful. No way could you not keep a puppy like her. 11 teeny-tiny biscuits for your little Surprise!! [/color]
[i]There is no way to choose one favorite pic. You are so lucky to have your new baby. Love to all your babies.[/i][color=blue[/]
Oh how precious is your surprise! If my baby had her own babies I would have to keep all of them.
xxxooo to surprise and all your other babies
Don't worry, be happy! Congrats on a lovely family. Lily seems like a very proud Mama, too. Love the timeline on Surie! Have great fun together...
I have a serious bout of the awwwwwwwwwwwwwws!!! I have never seen a papillon puppy before - Surie is too adorable for words. Many happy years to you. Darn - here it comes again - awwwwwwww!
oh my god, i'm in love with your dog!!!! i love that god is dog backwards too...i think that was on purpose:) i wish you a long happy life with your four-legged companion!
What a precious little girl! So tiny, and sweet! I love the pictures of her with her mom, Lily...she looks just like her, only smaller. I wish you many happy years with your two lovely girls. Big smooches and itsy bitsy belly rubs for Surprise and Lily!!
Now that's how I like my coffee!!
Adorable little baby! Too cute for words...Best wishes for a long and happy life together with Surie & Lily. Don't forget to post Surie's pics when she is a "grown-up puppy" so we can see how she's grown. Hugs to Surie & Lily
OMIgosh! Tooo cute for words!! Those little "bluish" baby eyes melt me.
She's so sweet. I bet it's hard not to hug to pieces...
Awe look at that, already she has a great taste in music! Does she howl like a werewolf? Thank you so much for the wonderful journey from birth to where she is at now, I don't know if I want to cry or laugh out loud it is so touching! Mom and Surie are just too beautiful. Here's to many years of health, happiness and love with them all. Big wet smooches to the pooches!!!
Suri is the tiniest sweetest thing!!! I am sure she was indeed a wonderful surprise for you. The miracle of a puppies development is a facinating miracle to observe and be part of. I love the pictures of Suri and her mom....so very cute! Love to all, Fran
I love seeing her grow through the pictures, it is amazing how big they get that quickly. She is adorable, enjoy her!
OH, I LOVE THESE LITTLE "BUTTERFLY EARS", little dogs. So cool that you have pics of her tender young age of a new born. I would have to keep her too. have a nice and fun time with her and all of your babies. (O:
OH MY GOSH!! HOW TO PICK A FAVORITE OUT OF ALL THESE FAVORITES?! :) I JUST WANT TO GIVE HER A MUSHY SQUEEZE!!
"J. WALTER PUPPY BREATH" FOR SURE!! MILLIONS OF BISCUITS! :)
Love the comparative pic size next to the cell phone ... what a little peanut! Just as an FYI, her nickname Suri (without the e) is also a very fitting one, meaning 'celestial sun', since she shines so beautifully on your lives! I can't pick a favorite photo here, they're all wonderful! Many happy years to you, the teensy, and her beautiful mom!
Oh, they are both so beautiful—no wonder you couldn't give her up! Tiny little nose kisses to both of your beautiful girls.
[color=red] I'm pretty sure she told told her mama a joke in this photo and mama is just laughing out loud! Precious pup and precious mama! [/color]
It's Lily and her mini me!!! What beautiful doggies you have (I cked out Cashew and Mercury -- beautiful as well!!). enjoy your lovely little dog family -- extra snuggles for your gorgeous little "surprise"!
Adorable. I think our 17 year old mixed breed, Duffy, is part Papillion.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PAIR!!! KISSES TO ALL THE DOGS.YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY....11 BISCUITS FROM ALL OF US
Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures! Suri looks just like her mommy....both are so beautiful! Congrats!
OH MY GOD !!!!!!! What a cute little girl, I WANT ONE !!!!!! I have never seen such a cute little girl in my life.
[color=blue] awww! she's SOOOOO cute! I hope you take really good care of her. give her lots of love! and make sure she'll be a happy healthy puppy![/color]
Thanks so much for taking and sharing these amazing pictures! It's great to see Surie's metamorphosis from a precious little piglet to a miniature Butterfly! I've just been realizing how wonderful this site is for allowing us to see puppy pictures of all breeds and mixed breeds that we wouldn't normally get to see. Yours are even more rare for showing a newborn puppy with her mother and how she's grown. Congratulations on your beautiful family!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH so cute!!!!!!!! So difficullt to chose a favorite picture! Give lots of love to all your pups.
I second "dogdays" comment. Thanks for sharing your gift with all of us, who rarely get to see newborn babies, watch them grow into cute little puppies. It's so cool! This web site is so great. Thanks again for sharing Lilly and Surie with us. All the pictures are fantastic, made me laugh that the poor little baby eyes aren't even open yet, and mom is taking pictures of me," they even put me in a cup" LOL!!! 11 biscuits for sure. Many happy years!!!!
Surprise is so small!!! I have never seen such a tiny puppy.
I'm sure she makes up for it in personality...
Lilly Bliss and Surprise Petals look so happy together. What a prescious picture. Hugs and kisses to both.
How wonderful to see these little dogs. I have a black and white Papillon male, and got to see him when he was a newbie, too. I have been amazed at how intelligent he is and what a wonderful personality he has. He understands everything we say, and I swear he can even spell - he hates baths and we can't even spell the word around him - his reaction is to run and hide under the bed! You will continue to absolutely love your darling little dog to pieces, as we do ours - who is named "Woody", by the way. I am astonished at how much Suri and Lily look like our little dog - they could be carbon copies of each other. I know you will have many years of love from these little beauties, and how lucky they are to have someone who obviously loves them so much. Enjoy them to the fullest!
That is one of the most adorable baby pups I've ever seen.
What a sweet mommy it has...the pictures are great!
What a cutie patootie. So tiny ! I really enjoyed these pictures so much- Love the progression of picks, it was wonderful to see her grow and to watch her butterfly ears develop! Mom & daughter are both beautiful and I wish all many many happy healthy years together.
Overdosed on sweetness! No way I could pick a favorite. I want and am saving this Daily Puppy in a special Daily Puppy file, so that I can look at those two precious faces over and over. It was like watching my mixbreed pups grow up all over again! God bless you and all your beautiful four-footed babies!
How wonderful you kept her in the family with her beautiful mother and that she has doggie friends Cashew and Mercury to play with. Wow! Do you live in the cutest place in America, or what? :)
Hey, Can't I get some sleep around here? What a sweetheart. Love how this guy turned out, and his Mom is sure proud too, as she should be.
Elizabeth & Miss Katie =O)
I couldn't decide which picture was my favorite. Lily looks like a wonderful mother. Thanks for sharing. In a world full of so much ugliness and cruelty, these pictures were a beautiful reminder that we are truly blessed. I can tell you love those beautiful puppies madly and dearly. I would.
Fancy and Maggie's mama
Surprise is such a little cutie.... I especially enjoyed watching her grw with the little "photo journey" you have here. She is absolutely adorable, as is her mother. You have two very special dogs, but I think you knew that :P Many snuggles are sent her way!
What a beautiful story and such delightful photos, how on earth could you part Lily from Surie....I would have been the same.
Enjoy them....
Sweet jesus...you've nearly killed me with the cuteness (and I'm a big dog person). I don't know what it is about this breed, but I have a fondness for them that just increased about 20 fold. I've been trying to get my mom to get one for years. I'll have to show her Suprise.
Is that a little piece of grass in her mouth? That just did me in. Call the doctor.
There truly is nothing more touching to watch than a mother caring for her newborn, and animals are even more endearing than humans. It is such a miracle to see how the mother knows exactly what to do, even the first time!
You have a beautiful little family there! Keep taking photos--we still love to look at our puppy births and newborn pictures and it has been 13 years since the last litter!
Surprise and her mom are both adorable!
I always wanted a papillon. I love the mother-daughter pictures. What a sweet little family they are.
omg, shes so cute little presious gold puppy! never saw a newborn like that!!! i feel so happy seeing it!
"Maaaaaaaaaaaaa! That camera's in my face again!". LOL! That's what I imagine that expression to be. *tee-hee* Awwww! She is so precious. I wish I could give 11 'tummy yummies' for each pink widdle paw.
Hi again! Hopefully my Page Fave showed up this time. In case you're wondering, it's the photo of her 'BIG yawn' I previously commented on. Does this mean I can give this adorable angel another 11 biscuits?
8^D
I am kind of blase about little dogs so I almost didn't check this out, but I'm glad I did. We don't often get to see the complete metamorphosis, almost like a "real" butterfly, from lumpy little thing to wide-eyed beauty.
I love the way she and her mom share the same lop-sided white mark on their foreheads.
Oh my, Oh My..How can you pass this little sweetie up..And this pic says "I am a proud Mommy"..O my is all I can say..sooooo adorable..All the pics are grrrreat..mommy looks soo sweet too..Im sure they will bring Much love in the household..(and trouble) hehe
Definatly 11 little buscuit chips to them both..
oh my gosh. this is the cuttest picture. I just want to kiss those little paws... they are sooooo adorable.
And her smile while she is sleeping, and that little tongue. I love the pics where she is cuddling next to mom.
Precious, too precious.
Best of luck.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience! Lily is beautiful and a perfect little mother. I love seeing Surie from birth to present. She is a beauty just like her Momma. Congratulations!
AWWW! Can a puppy POSSIBLY get ANY cuter??!!! I don't think so... You are so lucky (as if luck had anything to do with ANYTHING... anyhow) to have such a beautiful baby! I love how you showed the pictures SO perfectly as to show them from near birth to now ----- she's so beautiful and the pictures are all great, so I'm obliged to say that ALL the pictures are remarkable, but I think that I'll pick this one, because of the awesome size comparsion! :D
Good luck with your little Surprise! ;)
I've always thought papillions were adorable but now I'm totally smitten! Surprise is too cute for WORDS!! PINK TOES!!
How can I pick a favorite photo? They are all so wonderful. It's like following a story of the most adorable puppy and her mom from birth to the present. You are so lucky to have both of these "butterflies."
