9 Weeks Old

I can't believe all the little babies are 9 weeks old today!  Time has really flown by!  Everyone is with their new families except these two sweeties, Natasha & Black Bart, who are waiting to get their ears cropped tomorrow.  We will meet up with two of their brothers, Gus & Redd, at the ear cropping vet and they can all become cone heads together!

Today we had a little adventure and went to Petsmart for the first time.  These little ones got loved on and thought all the people and sights were great fun!  They now have new collars because they have outgrown their newborn puppy collars.  Natasha will now be sporting a lovely red collar and Black Bart will sport a nice black collar.  Happy 9 week old birthday, little ones!

Another one gone...

Sweet little Jewel (purple collar female) is now in the loving hands of her new family! They are so happy to have her with them and it will be a big surprise for the mom and older girls in the family to see she is home earlier than they thought.

More Puppies Leaving

Four little ones went to their new homes yesterday: blue, red, brown, and black collar boys. They are all really lucky, though, because they are going to family members so they will get to see each other very regularly and will have lots of fun playing when they get together, remembering they are brothers. We sure love these wild and crazy boys!

"Regulus" AKA "Gus" (Blue collar) & Red Collar (name TBD)

"Knolly" (Brown collar) and Kona (Black collar)

Going Home

Our first puppy went to her new home today: cute little yellow collar girl.  She is already cherished so much and we know she will come to love her new home and family just as much as she's loved being here with us, her Mom, and all her siblings!  Her name is now Anya Rose in honor of our sweet Momma doggie and friend Anya Belle who passed away in May.  We look forward to watching her thrive in the coming years.

This coming week we will send home the majority of our puppies.  A couple will hang out with us for a few more weeks until their newly cropped ears are all healed up.  We are sad to see everyone starting to leave, but it is okay because they are all going to awesome homes!

6 Weeks Old!!!

How can it be that these sweet little babies are 6 weeks old already?!  They are growing and changing and having such great experiences.  They have gone from awkward, uncoordinated puppies to confident little dogs in a very short amount of time.  It is such a joy and pleasure to watch and interact with them every waking minute!  This week they have gotten a lot more steady on their legs.  They not only walk without tumbling over; but they run, romp, and go up and down stairs too.  They have enjoyed exploring the puppy obstacles in the yard, as well as creating obstacles and having adventures of their own making.  They have discovered the joy of playing with toys, as well as wrestling together even more roughly than before!  They have graduated from eating puppy mash (dry puppy food soaked in goat's milk, egg, and cottage cheese) to eating puppy food mixed with coconut oil to keep their coats healthy and glistening.  Their little teeth are like razors so you'd better keep your toes inside your shoes when these little rascals are around!  :o)  They are still very sweet and snugly and don't mind being held and coddled.  They love their time with Momma, but find they enjoy being independent and free most of all.  Mom still takes great care of them and has not tired of her nurturing role.  We love these little puppies so much!
