Such beautiful puppies! Can’t wait to get them out and about. At Two weeks old these puppies are just beginning to explore their world beyond their mother. They are aware of other puppies in the whelping box. They make wonderful little sounds. Since they are still in my bedroom, these are sounds I go to sleep with each night. It is heavenly!
Will work in individual photos in a few days.
This is when the fun begins! Puppies are 2 weeks old now, making sometimes sweet coos, sometimes puppy challenge growls and wobbling around on their little legs. Noses are black now as are some of the pads on their feet. Soon their eyes will open and a few days after that the fog will clear and they will be able to see their siblings and their Mama…and me!…for the first time.
I took this video of Maxi’s litter yesterday.
Hoping to catch a video of Lily’s pups later today. Stay tuned!
Lily and her 5 beautiful puppies
Maxi with hers…eight beauties.
We have two wonderful litters in the past week!
Maxi whelped 8 black and white puppies (4 girls, 4 boys) on December 27 and Lily whelped 5 cream puppies on December 29.
So much fun!! So very busy!!!
Here are some photos of Maxi’s pups at one week old. As soon as I’m able I’ll post photos of Lily’s pups.
Well, all but one puppy have left for their forever homes. I have to say they are all very fortunate to have found such happy, healthy and loving families!
Here are some photos and a note from one of them who adopted a puppy from Lily’s litter…..
Hi Jacqui,
Pippa had a great visit with our vet today. She was very healthy and was a hit at the office.
Attached are a few photos of Pippa that we thought you would enjoy!
Pippa has already brought so much joy into our home, and we are excited to have her meet our neighbors and the rest of our family.

Here is another from the family who adopted one of Marli’s pups.
Puppy #3 is now Tiller!
Hi Jacqui,
Tiller is fantastic! What a doll. He did great at the airports, seemed excited by the adventure. Got to fly First Class on his first flight. (Spoiled already.) Put him underneath the seat, he didn’t make a peep the whole time. Kinda like he shrugged his little shoulders, said “Yeah, ok” curled up and went to sleep. Natural flier!
Slept well last night, too, in his airline carrier on my bed. Just one potty break at about 5am.
Tiller’s adapting well to his puppy playroom. He occasionally voices his displeasure at being trapped by a baby gate, but seems to understand “quiet” and “shush.” He settles down so quickly, I’m amazed. He’s also a great self-soother. He seems pretty content to play with his toys and scan for baby gate weaknesses to exploit. (He is obviously intelligent and already responds to his name:) I swapped his litterbox and crate positions today. A little while later, caught him dragging his placemat/water bowl across the room. Guess he wanted in on the renovation! When he’s quiet, I take him out every hour to snuggle/play. He’s so snuggly, soft, sweet, and tiny! We are bonding well.
He’s using his litterbox (yay!). Peed once on a towel last night (easy mistake) and once on floor today (excited maybe?). Got a little poo on floor today, but only because his stool is soft- he did use his box. I’ll mention it to vet tomorrow, but presume it’s the food change. Not concerned at all.
Went to a few stores today. Socialization opportunities abound with a puppy this cute. Everyone wants to meet Tiller! He did great.
My seating is such that I can see Tiller in his puppy room and vice versa. He was sleeping for awhile. A few minutes ago, I looked over and he was just sitting quietly looking at me, patiently awaiting my attention. Seriously impressed with this puppy! So now he’s smothering me with kisses!! Good time to sign off.
Thank you, Jacqui, for a wonderful pup! Keep in touch.

Oh my how fun these puppies are! They sleep, play, sleep, eat, sleep, play, poo.
This is the best!
Now that I’m almost over the flu I have the time to photograph, edit and post their individual pix for you. Thank goodness for my household of family who were more than willing to help with the task!
By the way, the theme with this litter is Florida trees.
Here they are, again in birth order:
1. Myrtle (for Wax Myrtle) is a black Irish pied female.
2. Maggie (Magnolia Tree) is a black parti female with a “heart” shape on her back that is almost blended out with her longer coat.
3. Holly (Dahoon Holly) is also a black parti female.
4. Sabol (Sabol Palm…Florida’s state tree) is the sable parti boy I bottle fed for 4 weeks. He’s feeding on his own quite nicely now.
5. Coco is named after the Coconut Palm. He is our chocolate parti boy.
6. Maple (yes, there are maple trees in Florida!) is our sable parti girl.
7. Here’s Mango (love that name!) our little black parti female.
8. And, last but not least Gumbo (for the Gumbo Limbo tree). Our black parti boy.
I have to admit, I’m pretty happy with these puppies…of course I’m happy with every litter. But these little ones are gorgeous in my unbiased opinion!
