First Meal with Kibble Mush

Maggie’s puppies had their first meal with kibble mush (dry dog food soaked in water and mushed up). They loved it!

Here they are being ever so polite at the table!

That’s Rain off to the right.

Pickles is at noon.

Bubbles is at 9.

Iris is at 7 o’clock.

Violet is at 6 o’clock.

And Sky is at 5 o’clock.

 

And we also moved to the “Big Puppy Pen” over the weekend so now they can see everyone else in the room. They are so happy with their dangling toys, litter box and freedom to roam around more.

Now We Have Names!

Maggie and Nelson’s puppies are growing so fast! And they LOVE to play!! Here are some individual photos with the names I’ve given them. For a lack of any other system I decided to name them after the color of their collars.

This is boy Rain, named for the pale blue collar he has. Rain was the firstborn and currently weighs 1#, 1oz.

This is girl Iris, named for her lavender collar. Iris was the second born and weighs 1#, 4oz.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Bubbles. She was the third born and wears a hot pink collar. She weighs 1#, 3oz.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Sky, fourth born with a royal blue collar. He weighs 1#, 2 oz.

This is Violet with a purple collar. She was the fifth born and is our smallest at 14 ounces.

Last but not least is Pickles with a bright green collar. He weighs 1#, 2oz.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puppies Have Arrived!

Maggie delivered six healthy puppies starting at 3:30 yesterday morning. Three girls and three boys!

They are nursing well and holding even on their weights which is good for day 2.

It was one of the easiest deliveries I have ever “helped” with. Maggie did everything! Very little pre labor and almost no discernible contractions. All are black and white as you can see in the photo. More to follow!

I want to give a special thanks for Kevin and Sandy McCabe who not only bred Maggie’s mother but also bred Nelson, the sire of this litter.
