Update on Boomer

Leave a Comment

For those who may not remember, Boomer was one of the two puppies I had to bottle feed because he was so small. Not so anymore!!! Here is a report and photos from his new family.

Hi Jacqui!
I wanted to give you a little update on Jackson (aka Boomer)! He is doing GREAT!  We can’t believe we got so lucky to have such a good little puppy!
He is growing so much and at his last Vet visit weighed in at about 4.5 lbs!  He has completely adjusted to the routine at our house and has even learned a few little tricks!
His latest is ringing the bell at the back door everytime he needs to take a potty break outside (Yea! No more accidents in the house!) Right off the bat we were able to teach him to fetch (his favorite game to play) and last week he learned to “sit” and “shake” on command!  He can follow with the leash and is learning to stay in the yard… Such a smart boy!
Our favorite time with him is after Logan goes to bed and he gets some quiet couch time with Joel and I and lot’s of extra snuggles…. 
He’s so sweet and loves to play… doesn’t chew on much (other than his toys) and is definitely my little shadow during the day when it’s just him and I. Everyone who meets him is smitten and I’ve passed out your website/blog to a few people like us who may be looking for a puppy in the future!
 We are so happy with him!
Hope everything is going well,
Enjoy the pictures!

Just a quick announcement that Phoebe’s pups assessments are up on my website. It has been very busy with two families picking up pups today and one tomorrow so I will try to get some more posts after the holiday.

It certainly is entertaining to watch the puppies entertaining themselves! They love being outside.

More play with mom.

Maxi got a real kick out of jumping over the pups. She went back and forth at least a dozen times.
Hancock and Breeze tough it out.

Oh The People You’ll Meet…

Took 3 of the “kids” to the Farmer’s Market yesterday. They learned how to walk with a harness and leash. They will also benefit hugely from this exposure. It is a real confidence booster because everyone LOVES them! We will be doing this exercise with all the puppies. Of course, we never made it to any produce stands! The puppies were real show stoppers.
One of the first persons we encountered could not get enough of Jefferson.

“I want to take him home!”

And then she met Georgie.

Puppy kisses.

Jefferson climbing into her purse!

Jefferson and Sparky were a hit with this woman as well.

Jefferson meeting another dog.

Georgie is not so sure about this Golden

But he got his bravery on.

Then there were more dogs.

And even more.

Someone taking Sparky’s picture. Note the two dogs in the foreground.

Sparky learning to negotiate a curb. That’s my daughter Jenny encouraging him.

And…he made it!

Here he is getting lots of praise for his bravery.

First Bath

We have been very busy. Friday was non-stop puppiness. First the usual in the morning…breakfast and clean-up. Then baths! With sixteen it took a while and all the puppies did great.

Georgie, Hancock and Rain were first. Here they are, semi-dry, waiting for their siblings.

Blaze getting his rubdown

Blaze might be small but he is very brave

Breeze and Boomer in the sink. I put down a terry towel in the water so the sink doesn’t feel terribly wierd.

Breeze and Boomer exploring in the sink.

Breeze and Boomer…can we come out now?

Two is actually better than one. They keep each other calm.

Dew and Sunray get their turn.

So much fun!
