What a week!
We said goodbye to 9 puppies, everyone has been sleeping soundly through the night, and we had another successful vet visit. So far, we have puppies spanning all the way from Arizona to New York and Rhode Island (and several states in-between.) So fun! My camera broke this week, so I had to take pictures on my cell phone! Then my home blog wouldn't let me upload the pictures to it. I don't know what is going on, but I was able to get some pictures and videos up on all of the individual blog pages before my technology completely failed me! Check them out and I will circle back here tomorrow and see if we can add all of their pretty faces posted in one place!

Eight Weeks! These little furballs have grown so much this week, it is unreal. Their legs are finally longer than their bellies and they are getting pretty good at games of chase. They had their first vet visit last week and it went wonderful. Clear fecals, healthy hearts, and they took their shots like champs! As always, the office staff raved about how cute they were and we loved getting to show them off! We start goodbyes next week. It's bittersweet, but we are SO excited for these babies to meet their forever families! I said it in my last post, and I'll say it again and again again, thank you for trusting us to help grow your family. We are so honored to be a small part in your families journey! AND.... The little humans in the house who have also poured a lot of time, love and attention into all of these pups would like to wish you all a "Happy Easter!" Goodbyes have officially begun!
Yesterday afternoon, three sweet pups met their forever families and we have several scheduled to go home next week. It really is so exciting to play a small role in growing families. We can't thank you enough for trusting us to help raise your babies these first few weeks! Seven weeks seems impossible. The time is flying and goodbyes will begin before we know it!
It's been a week full of fun and adventure. We've spent lots of time outside with the beautiful weather, they enjoyed some extra play and cuddles during the day since my kids were home for spring break, we've made solid progress on potty training and we even started sleeping in crates last night! This week, the pups will visit the vet for health checks and to get their first round of vaccines. We start our goodbyes in exactly six days!
This was a big week! The pups spent a lot more time outside as we began to really double down on house training. They went to the vet. Slept in crates over night. And enjoyed a lot of extra time with the kiddos in the house thanks to spring break! Pictures this week were not easy! Seven weeks is always the hardest. At this point, the pups are active, no longer distracted by the camera, and always eager to play! So we have a lot of action shots, looking away, and begging for attention at our feet. Ha! Ha!
Sadie and the babies running off some energy after dinner!
Stella's litter had their first vet appointment yesterday! The office was so proud of Stella for raising 13 puppies so well. They happily showered the staff with puppy kisses, took their shots like champs, and came home excited to play mama!
This warm weather has been amazing! All of the pups love to go outside and their tails start wagging as soon as we start heading towards the door! We mowed the yard and got it all puppy ready. My daughter had the idea that we should leave this patch of clovers for the puppies to explore and it was a major hit! It was so fun to watch each puppy explore it in their own way... some sniffed and walked, others ran, some pounced around, and one even seemed to be swimming through them! Ha! Ha! Great entertainment!
This week, we will double down on house training and later in the week we will begin crate training! It's a busy time, but so much fun! Our hearts are overfilled with love! The last six weeks have gone by even faster than we imagined... as the old saying goes, time flies when you're having fun!
Six weeks is a big one! We'll be visiting the vet for our first round of shots, really try to double down on house training, and we will begin crate training towards the end of the week! The puppies are becoming more and more playful every day! They love attention and run to greet anyone who walks in the direction of the puppy pen. Chin rubs, bully sticks, and couch cuddles are pack favorites! VIDEOS ON INDIVIDUAL BLOGS!This week, instead of posed photos, we decided to post a short video of each puppy! We love pictures, but there is something extra special about seeing these little guys move around. The toller puppies are SO CUTE with their little round bellies barely off the ground!
This was a fun week! Everyone started puppy food and they are doing great. They actually took a little convincing to try it at first, but once they tried it, they were immediately hooked. They can already tell time with their bellies... I was about 20 minutes late for breakfast this morning and they definitely let me know! Ha! Ha! We have started the first step of house training and they picked up on it immediately! We're so excited to keep watching them grow and learn. Every day is something new and fun. We are beyond grateful to be a part of their journey! |
