Puppies Are Five Weeks Old and Loving their new digs!

My apologies for not posting sooner but I have been a busy mom!

Tango and Luna’s puppies are all together now. From the video you can see that they have a large 3’X3′ bedroom (the large black wire enclosure) and a much larger play area. We have a puppy crate with the door propped open so they can get accustomed to it. It is amazing how often they go in and out!

They also have three litter boxes which they started using last weekend and today only had two ‘accidents’. TWO! I can’t tell you how much that reduces my workload! The ‘litter’ is actually compressed pine pellets which turn to sawdust as they get wet. Makes for (relatively) easy cleanup.

I introduce different toys every day. Today there is a kitty toy with three balls that go round and round the 3 level track. They love it!

They are chewing like crazy since their little teeth are coming in. So they have a bunch of nylabones. I never give rawhide to my dogs.

I introduced them to kibble mush about 5 days ago and they have taken to it like it is candy.

Today is probably one of the last days they will nurse. Once they start to get teeth the moms lose their interest in nursing.

Anyway, enjoy the videos.

 

Almost Three Weeks and Look How We Have Grown!

Luna’s pups will be 3 weeks old Wednesday. Look how big they are already. I have moved them onto a sherpa style bedding now so that they get better purchase when they walk around. It is not good for their joints to be slipping and sliding a lot at this age. Left to right we have Mickey, Baloo, Olaf and Moana.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just two days older we have Tango’s puppies in the video. What a difference, right?

About 20 seconds in we have Eric rolling into the water bowl, sisters TinkerBell and Tiana are having a serious “conversation”. Kristoff (mostly white) and Naveen are in the upper right.

Enjoy!!

Meri’s Pups are 5 1/2 weeks old….

…..and they are having so much fun! This past week I put them together with my two 8 week old puppies, Lyric and Peto. After a day of full supervision and seeing how gentle the older ones were, I knew it would be a permanent arrangement!

So here are some individual pix of Meri’s pups. Because my 3 year old grandson is infatuated with Sesame Street, guess where the names came from!

Meri Has Her Puppies!

Meri delivered 4 beautiful puppies on Thursday. Striker is the sire…a very handsome boy indeed.

Here are pix of Mom and Dad.

This is Meri. Our pretty girl is a Grand Champion. She turned 2 last August and this is litter. That’s me on lead.

And here are the puppies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is Striker. Isn’t he handsome. Striker is a bronze Grand Champion….all owner handled by my friend Karen Warnacke.

 

We have two boys and two girls. They are almost all white with pretty sable markings around their heads.

 

 

 

 

 

Mother and babies are doing well! But Meri did have a difficult time with this delivery so she had to have a c-section. I made the decision to have her spayed because, while she didn’t need a c-section for her first litter, it was a very prolonged labor. I didn’t want to put her thru that again.

All puppies are spoken for.
