Little and Mighty

This is the littlest of everyone. She kisses. She snuggles and her hair is silky soft and long. Usually when they are little, all energy goes to their body so hair is slow growing. She is just meant to be small and her hair is fabulous. It is snuggle worthy.

Here is the gallery. There is only 1 today. Sorry about that but it sure cuts down in the amount of work.

Pups have already truly bonded. This little gal is agile too as she climbed up on the chair by herself and bold too as she jumped off - clumsily but she made it - dusted herself off and away she went.

All the pups are coming into themselves. We have some real good looking pups with personalities to match.

Getting Rest

The pups play and then they rest. They had their 2nd visit upstairs to play and they had fun.

Be sure to check out the gallery.

They are now all together since Dennis started working on it since 3am. We still need to take down 1 xpen but they have adjusted nicely to being a part of the 12. Spirit's baby is thrilled to have 11 playmates. Spirit had to adjust but Sage's has been dealing with Spirit's pup visiting so this was fine for both these litters.

We put Spirit and Sage's together for a couple of hours and then added Cinnamons.

The Play Begins

It is wonderful to see the play between mommy and daughter. Puppies do not play if stressed. I had Sage's littlest gal climbing over my legs without issue. What a spunky thing she is.

Here is the gallery.

They played once upstairs. Tomorrow they will do it again. As we go, we will increase how often the come out to play. This is called slow conditioning and they are doing really well.

Here is the gallery of the play upstairs.

I so enjoyed sharing this moment. Outside yesterday was fun but the area was small and they didn't have so many things to explore. Moms was also there to play or monitor.

Be sure to watch the videos.

How Did We Do?

We had our moments of where are we, now what and then they relaxed/ It was a success and when it gets cold, we will start taking them upstairs. This is a timeframe that you will have to figure out who belongs to whom. I know them on sight. We have had litters so close that it was hard. For me, this was easy, peasy. Will it be for you?

Stone so wanted to play with them.

Inside Outside

This boy was outside tonight. I already had the tri boy out but must have deleted the photos and it was too bad as he was walking on the deck. I am so upset but it is what it is. This one stayed in Nathan's arms.

Here is the gallery.

Pups are getting more playful. The littlest gal is the littlest. She will remain little but oh my gad I love her personality. Oh they are all fun...

Be sure to check out the videos.

4 Weeks and 2 Days

Guess who I took outside for a full 25 minutes and although she didn't walk around, she hung out in my arms and looked around without a care in the world. The mothers were thrilled.

Here is the gallery.

Pups are getting older. They are playing more. They are hitting the pad more. The biggest boy doesn't like me moving him to another milk bar station. The black and white tri sleeps on his back the most. The sable is the most spunkiest. The littlest has attitude of her siblings pounce on her but she is ever so laid back.

Videos are coming.

4 Weeks 1 Day Old

Sage's crew have really come along. Now that they are at that getting really active stage, there are a ton of laughs.

Here is the gallery.

The littlest one is such a character. I put her in my shirt to get a skin to skin hug and she squirms and smiles and relishes it. You have to be there to appreciate but it tells me a lot about her personality.

I will be working on the videos, in a bit.

4 Weeks Old

They are now doing a fair amount of play but today we gave them a break from Spirits gal.

Here is the gallery.

I put the pad closer to their sleeping area and they are more successful. That was the goal and as they get older, I will move it farther away.

Short blogging tonight. Time to feed pups in a few minutes. LOL

1 day Shy of 4 Weeks

Here is the gallery.

Each day these pups get more and more playful. I so adore giving them snuggles and they snuggle back.

Sometimes Sage stands up and sometimes she lays down. Dennis set up the pen a different way and he loves it and I hate it. We will perfect it. My goal is to have the pad close so they don't have far to go. They are getting decent with the pad with odd accidents. It is more hit than miss and this is way too early.

Be sure to check out the videos. Almost 4 weeks old. wow!

Edging Up on 4 Weeks

The littlest brindle gal like to try out all the milk stations before she settles down to eat. If I attempyt to put her on a full one,. she says - I don't think so. I just laugh but hey the milk doesn't last forever with 3 siblings.

Here is the gallery.

They are playing much more and wrestling. It is a riot to watch. Be sure to check out the videos.

We are short blogging tonight. Sorry.
