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! This weeks homepage update is a little bland... Instead of pictures, we opted for videos that show each puppy in action! This is such a magical time, as they experience so many "first." We wanted to make sure you got a glimpse of their wobbly little legs, wagging tails, and tiny little faces.
The puppies started food last week and that was a major hit. Not a single puppy questioned or seemed reluctant about trying the new food source and it didn't take long for them to recognize the sound of food being scooped up and poured into the metal dishes. Believe it or not, we even started house training this week! So far, we're off to an excellent start... especially considering the size of the litter! Check out those individual blogs! I know I'm bias, but they are SO cute! All you need is love... and a dog! We have been using this sign for four week pictures for nearly EIGHT years. These pictures are always some of my favorites.
Today, the puppies got their first taste of fresh air and sunshine. Some puppies confidently began exploring as soon as we set them down. Others took sometime time to check out their surroundings before moving around! Four weeks is exciting. It means they are beginning to play and interact with people, learning to communicate, and they are half way ready to head to their forever homes! The fun part is about to begin and we couldn't be more excited! Sadie's six are continuing do well. Now that their eyes and ears are wide open, they have been exploring all of the toys in the whelping box... their current favorites are sibling ears and tails! Ha! Ha! They really are so fun to watch. I'm working hard to get a video, but it never fails, the fun stops as soon as the camera comes out!
Can you believe how much can change in 7 short days? They have all grown so much and are hitting their milestones right on track.
With eyes wide open, they are crawling around, starting to interact with each other, and can spot mom all the way across the room! They already make the best cuddlers and were very chill about being taken out of the whelping room to join the family in the living room for a photoshoot!
Our puppy piles are growing... Everyone has grown so much, we upgraded our elastic whelping bands to real collars! I'm not sure how it's possible, but the collars really take the cuteness level up a notch!
We are 2.5 weeks old now and doing great! All eyes are wide open and the puppy scoot is evolving into a crawl as their little legs get stronger! We are loving watching them learn and grow... and it only gets better from here! Sadie's six are all doing fantastic! Everyone's eyes and ears are open and they were super snuggly for today's photoshoot. We love seeing those baby blue eyes looking back at us.
We have been calling them our "hungry hungry hippos." They are as round as can be and never miss a chance to eat. Ha! Ha! |
