Baxter is officially 8 weeks old and ready to meet his forever family! In just four more days, he'll be cuddling up with his new people and exploring his new surroundings. We are so excited for them to meet their new boy, but it wont be easy saying good bye!

He is such a sweet, easy going boy. He is sleeping through the night in his crate, but does like to wake up early! He is right on track with house training, loves to meal time, and chew toys! He is a shadow puppy and always wants to be near people. As long as a human is close, his tail is wagging! 

Last night we played with peanut butter flavored bubbles! I wasn't sure how Baxter would respond to the new experience of bubbles being blown his way, but he wasn't the least bit intimidated. He very quickly realized these things taste good and was popping them with his mouth as soon as they touched the ground!  

Baxter had a big growth spurt this week! He is looking like such a big boy and has perfected that PWD smile. He is so easy going and loving. He loves to be carried around and can always be found in someones shadow. He doesn't want to get too far away from his people. 

Crate training is off to a good start- he hasn't had a single accident in his crate and he is sleeping through the night! This is incredibly impressive for such a young pup! 

He takes care of business quickly when taken outside and adores the praise he receives for going. So, it shouldn't be long before he starts vocally letting us know he needs to go. 

Mister 6 officially has a name: Baxter! A name just as cute as he is. He is growing so much and is such a sweet little guy. He has such a loving presence, it just draws you and makes you want to get down and cuddle him. 

We started puppy food this week and he LOVES it. He always finishes his bowl and then makes his rounds to see if anyone else needs help finishing theirs. This week we start crate training and house training-  a big sign that his time with us is coming to an end!

Mister 6 had a big week! He was found by his forever family, we have little teeth popping through, and his little personality is starting to form. He is easily our most social puppy. He loves people, he is the first puppy to greet a visitor, and will let us know when he is wanting to be held and loved on. 

We will be starting puppy food will in the next few days. We also intend to let them explore the puppy pool/hose this week. Pictures of the experience will follow soon! 

Mister 6 is officially four weeks old and we celebrated with a photo shoot outside! This was his first time outdoors and he cautiously explored this new environment. As long as the humans stayed close he was perfectly fine, but he did not want us to venture too far away from him. 

He is definitely the most interested in people! He loves to be help and cuddled and eagerly follows us around with his tail wagging when we let him out to explore. 

Over the last few days, his ears opened all the way up, he has begun to play with the litter mates, was upgraded to the play pen in the family room instead of having a private room with just his mama, and he found his voice! Those little barks are absolutely heart melting!

This week, we look forward to teeth popping through, experimenting with toys, more outdoor exploration, and interacting more and more with the humans of the house!

Those baby blues are wide open now and his ears are starting to let sounds in. When we talk to him, he eagerly looks for our faces. When I take him out of the whelping box to change the balnkets or take pictures, he is always one the first to begin exploring the new environment!  This week, we are excited to watch him start playing and interacting with the litter mates and for his little personality to begin to shine through. 

Peeking baby blue eyes have been the highlight of the week here! We are so excited to see him finally looking back at us. Outside of that, the changes are big but hard to see. He is gaining weight daily, becoming stronger and more mobile! 

This week, we are looking forward to the eyes becoming completely unsealed and for his ears to begin to open!

Mister 6 is growing by leaps and bounds. While he is still the smallest pup in the litter, he has already doubled his birth weight and is enjoying lots of snuggles with his mama and the litter mates. 

In the upcoming week, we look forward to a lot more naps, daily growth spurts, and eyes beginning to open.
